5 Best Ice Fishing Gift Ideas under $200

  • ESKIMO Scout Ice Fishing Pants (Click to Shop from $129).  Eskimo is one of the most trusted brands in ice fishing and they have incredible customer service should any of their products ever go wrong.  These pants not only help you stay warm and dry, but they also help you stay safe should you go through the ice with its flotation assist built-in technology.  Bonus points, they make great snowblowing pants or snowmobile pants should you need them for that as well.
  • ESKIMO Insulated Pop-Up Shelter (Click to Shop from $196).  More Eskimo.  When it comes to buying a shanty, I’ve tried them all.  I personally recommend insulated.  Not only are they warmer, but they’re more resistant to high winds.  The only negative to an insulated shanty over non-insulated, is they are a heavier haul.  So, if you’re shopping for someone that pulls their equipment and is a mobile ice fisherman, shop the non-insulated lineup.
  • ESKIMO Pistol Bit (Click to Shop from $189).  There are three tiers of ice fishing auger.  Tier 3 is manual or hand model, where you drill the hole using just your hands.  Tier 2 is this model, where you can hook the auger up to a drill to aid in creating the whole.  And Tier 1, is all electric or gas (but electric is so much better) – but good luck finding those under $200.  Should you want to shop the best, I highly recommend Ion’s Electric Auger (I’m 5 years in with absolutely no reported issued).
  • Engel 13 QT Live Bait Cooler (Click to Shop from $69).  You don’t need to be a professional fisherman to know that the most important thing your minnows can be is alive.  A bait cooler is an essential part of the ice fishing process and this one is a great selection.  Durable for a long day on the ice, with a sharp look to boot.
  • MOQCQGR 2023 Underwater Fishing Camera (Click to Shop from $139).  The underwater camera revolutionzed ice fishing.  Not only do they let you know you’re in the right fishing hole but it’s also a great teacher of how fish react to your bait.  Even if they aren’t biting that day, it makes every fishing day a little bit better just knowing they’re there.

5 Best Fly-Fishing Gift Ideas under $200

  • Wild Water Starter Kit (Click to Shop from $113).  This Wild Water Flying Fishing Starter kit is a great purchase if the person you’re buying for (or you) have just wanted to get into fly fishing.  I saw this at a trade show and meant the owner.  It’s great quality at very affordable pricing.  Buyer beware, if the fly fishing you’re looking to get into involves salmon or more athletic fish, this kit might not be for you.

  • Wetfly Wooden Fly-Tying Station (Click to Shop from $160).  It’s the evolution of fly-fishing.  First you go, then you go a lot, then you realize you are kind of spending a whole lot of money on fly’s, and you decide to start tying your own.  There is something truly special about tying your own fly and then landing a fish on a fly you hand crafted.  The best way to start is this fly-tying station.
  • Simms Collapsible Wading Staff (Click to Shop from $149).  I’ll never forget my first time trying to cross a flowing river to get to the best spot.  I had a stick from a tree, and my buddy had this.  This compatible 7075 aluminum tubing is a great gift for a mobile fly fisherman (or woman).  It doesn’t take up too much room in the pack and it helps stabilize whether you’re crossing, walking, or fighting a fish.  Don’t be like me, be like my buddy.
