Fishing gifts for the angler who already owns a rod. Hand-rigged Gulf Stream lures, built as working spreads and matched to the species they actually chase.
The hard part about buying a fishing gift is that most anglers already have the obvious stuff — and the gear they really want is specific enough that a generic gift set misses. Every Bar Jacks gift box and lure kit is picked to cover different light, water and colour conditions, so the whole set works together on one trip rather than one lure working and the rest sitting in the bag.
Which fishing gift should you get?
-
You know their shirt size — get a Gift Box. Hand-rigged lures with a UPF long sleeve and a water-resistant snapback, boxed together and ready to give.
-
You want a great gift under $50 — get the Shirt & Hat Box. Pick a Yellowfin Tuna or Mahi cotton tee and any of five Bar Jacks snapbacks, boxed together for $45.
-
You don't know their size — get a Strike Kit. Tackle only. Sizing is the single biggest reason fishing apparel gets returned, and the kits remove the guess entirely.
-
You know what they fish for — match the species. Mahi for the weedline crowd, Tuna for anyone trolling humps and rips, Offshore if they chase whatever is biting that day.
-
You have no idea what they fish for — go Offshore. It covers mahi, tuna and wahoo in one box.
Still not sure? Our guide to the best gifts for fishermen covers what actually gets used, what ends up in the garage, and how to work out what someone fishes for without ruining the surprise.
Why these make good gifts
They are usable the first trip out. Every lure is pre-rigged — clear mono leader, ball-bearing swivels — so it ties on and drops back without a trip to the tackle shop. Nothing in the box is a novelty item or a gag; it is the gear we fish ourselves.
And they are specific. "Fishing stuff" is a bad gift. A mahi spread, built by people who troll the Gulf Stream, for someone who trolls the Gulf Stream, is a good one.
Built and fished in Fort Lauderdale
Every Bar Jacks lure is rigged by hand in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and fished in the Gulf Stream before it is sold. We build what we fish.
Ordering for Christmas
Gift boxes ship boxed and ready to give. Order early in December to be safe; the boxes are assembled to order and the lures are rigged by hand, so the last week before Christmas gets tight.
