With so many great products, 13 Fishing has something for everyone and the items cover different price ranges from a budget-minded angler to the serious angler who wants the best money can buy. Some of 13 Fishing's items would make for a great gift this holiday season.
Angler Gifts Under $25
For smaller budgets, 13 Fishing has you covered. One excellent option is the extensive selection of lures. They make soft plastics and hard baits that cover the staples. But they also have some unique designs that separate them from everything else on the market. Also in this price range are clothing items and accessories that make your life easier on the water. Here are a few options from each of those categories.
The Jabber Jaw Deep crankbait and Power Slide Pencil Popper are two hard baits that stand out. They cost $12.99 and $13.99, respectively. They are two of many unique lures from 13 Fishing.
The Power Slide is a pencil popper topwater with sculpted sides to make it walk easier. It has a weighted tail and casts exceptionally well. Crankbaits are all pretty similar, but the Jabber Jaw series has a unique twist. It has a metal bill that adds vibration and a unique action as it dives. The standard version has been out for a while and the newest of the two is the deep version, which has tremendous squarebill action in the 7 to 9-foot zone.
Some other inexpensive options are the variety of different hats and beanies that feature the cool 13 fishing logo. Other choices are their various accessories, including reel covers and rod ties. Each of these are helpful items that any angler would appreciate.
Angler Gifts $50-100 Range
Right under $100 is the Radioactive lineup. These brightly colored rods and reels will stand out like nothing else and appeal to many members of the younger generation of anglers. The bright orange and neon green color rods and reels are available in three spinning rods and three more casting models. They are more than just bright colors and are light, built for durability, and designed to cover many fishing techniques.
Pair it with a matching reel for a great combo. The casting versions are 7.3:1 reels offered in right and left-handed retrieves and retail for $89.99. The spinning reels are available in two different sizes, costing $69.99 or $74.99, depending on the size.
Angler Gifts $100-$200 Budget
Right at $150, the Inception G2 casting reels were built with the help of professional angler Gerald Swindle. They are sharp looking and made with durability and performance in mind. They come in right and left-handed retrieves and come in three different speeds to cover all techniques.
Swindle was also heavily involved in developing a new rod lineup, the Meta, retailing for around $150. They come in eight casting models, three spinning and three cranking rods. All of the specifications and actions were hand-picked by Swindle, who wanted an excellent rod lineup that he could fish with on the Bassmaster Elite Series and that he could also recommend to an angler that could purchase one without breaking the bank.
The rods have stainless steel guides, custom reel seats, split grip EVA handles, and Japanese PVG36T blanks. They also come with a 5-year warranty.
High-End Angler Gifts
The top-of-the-line rod lineup from 13 is the Envy Black. The newest version is the Envy Black III. It's quality all around and includes Japanese 46-ton Toray material for the blank, Fuji K guides, premium Portuguese cork, and more.
They are offered in cranking models (starting at $250) and both spinning and casting. The spinning version comes in five different versions, starting at $325 and the casting rods include 11 different models and start at $315. They are excellent rods, look great, and come in all of the popular rod actions and lengths to cover just about any bass fishing technique.
Two good all-around options would be the 7-foot, 2-inch heavy casting model and the 7-foot, 3-inch medium spinning rod. For cranking, the 7-foot, 1-inch moderate is a model that can handle a variety of different diving and lipless baits.
13 Fishing continues to push the envelope with new designs and styles that are different than just about everything else made by other brands. Their unique style and quality products would make a great gift, no matter what price you are looking to spend.
