Grundéns Gift Ideas
Big Ticket Gift Ideas
Vector Waders
Vector Waders
A few years ago, Grundéns entered the fly fishing market with their Vector Waders. Not long after, these waders rose to the top as one of the best options on the market. Their well-thought-out design offers a minimalist approach for anglers looking for a versatile fishing wader. A large center pocket offers ample room for fly boxes and other fishing essentials, while two hand-warmer pockets help extend your season into the winter months. Grundéns rounds it out with a 4-layer puncture-resistant fabric and molded-in knee pads, ensuring these waders are around for years to come.
Bankside Wading Boot
Bankside Wading Boot
A good wading boot should feel lightweight, comfortable, and supportive—anything else is asking for a spill in the river. Luckily, Grundéns accomplished all three with the Bankside Wading Boot. It relies on a simple design, featuring classic laces, a leather upper, and Vibram soles. Together, this makes for a boot that falls into the lightweight category without sacrificing ankle support. For added grip, pair these with the Hexagrip stud pack.
Bootlegger Roll Top Backpack 30L
Bootlegger Roll Top Backpack
A gift you can never go wrong with is a new pack. Nearly all anglers rely on some form of pack to transport and protect their gear on the water. The Bootlegger Roll Top Backpack has ample room for all the fly fishing essentials, along with extra layers and water. The roll top design makes this pack fully waterproof, so valuables like a camera, phone, or wallet will always stay dry. No matter where or how you fish, this pack is up to the task.
Shackleton 2.0 Duffel Bag
Shackleton 2.0 Duffel
If you know an angler who is always on the move, in far-off places, searching for fish, then a duffel is the perfect gift. The Shackleton 2.0 Duffel is a 105L-sized bag with ample storage for any fishing tackle you can think of. Paired with a waterproof design, this bag is ready to go from the luggage carousel to the truck bed to the boat, wherever your next trip takes you.
Fly Fishing Must-Haves
Deviation Sherpa
Deviation Sherpa Boot
Every angler needs a pair of deck boots. These styles of rugged rubber boots have become the footwear of choice for anglers fishing in the harshest conditions. But when those conditions get harsher this winter, make sure they reach for the Deviation Sherpa Boot. This boot takes all the features of the standard Deviation boot and adds a sherpa lining, keeping your feet warm during the coldest days of the season. They also double as the perfect shoe to slide your feet into after taking off your waders on a cold winter day.
Tough Sun Crew
Tough Sun Crew
Sun shirts are a gift that every angler will put to use, and the Tough Sun Crew is one that will be around year after year. Fly fishing is tough on gear, and the biggest issue with most sun shirts is that they fall apart after heavy use. Grundéns solved this problem with its reinforced snag-resistant fabric, making one of the toughest and most comfortable UPF 50-rated sun shirts on the market. Available in four colors, this gift will be loved by any angler.
Bankside Lined Shacket
Bankside Lined Shacket
Any piece of versatile fishing gear immediately shoots to the top of anglers’ favorites. A staple in our wardrobe is the Bankside Lined Shacket. From the outside, it looks like a classic flannel, but on the inside, its grid fleece lining gives it the warmth to be worn all season long. From cool fall mornings to frigid winter sends and even days out around town, this is a gift anglers will reach for time after time.
Stocking Stuffers
Leroy Brown T-Shirt
Leroy Brown T-Shirt
Fly fishermen love to represent their hobby on and off the water. If you know someone who falls into this category, then Logowear is the perfect gift. While the brown trout tee is always a favorite, Grundéns has options for any angler out there. Check out all the options HERE.
Trout Patch Mesh Hat
Trout Patch Mesh Hat
There’s a good chance that if you know an angler, they have a hat addiction. At Flylords, we all have that issue and over the years have accumulated plenty of hats, some that are far beyond their prime. This holiday season, gift them a new favorite, like the Trout Patch Mesh Hat. Best of all, the mesh design helps cut down on sweat stains and extends the life of this hat much longer than a traditional trucker-style cap.
Chasing Tail T-Shirt
Chasing Tail T-Shirt
If you know someone who spends more time on a skiff than on land, then this is the perfect stocking stuffer. The Chasing Tail T-Shirt highlights one of saltwater fly fishing’s favorites, the redfish. This will surely get put to good use by guides and anglers alike.
Give a Gift Any Angler Will Love!
This holiday season, take the guesswork out of gift-giving with these recommendations. Whether you’re looking for a last-minute stocking stuffer or the big ticket item that will leave them racing to the water to try it out, Grundéns fly fishing gear has you covered.
