Selecting Fishing Gifts Even if You Don't Fish

 A fishing creel is something that would be appreciated by someone who does their fishing on the banks of, or wading in streams, rivers, or lakes. 

Traditional creels are woven of willow, wicker, rattan or other natural materials.  The natural ventillation of the weave, combined with a lining of wet moss, works to turn the creel into a way to keep the fisherman's catch fresh.

There is usually an opening in the top for dropping in the freshly caught fish.

Creels are also now available in canvas and various synthetic fabrics, usually with a special insulating lining.  Many have extra storage pockets for gear.

So, now I know what a creel is, and so do you.  

You might also know a fishing enthusiast who would like to have one.  Luckily, there is quite a variety of them available on Amazon - including some wicker ones for the traditionalist.

If you're not absolutely sure you can pick out the perfect fishing lure or the most desirable fishing rod in the world, you probably shouldn't even try.  Just because a lure looks alluring you doesn't mean it will do anything at all for your fisherman.

 What you can do is help them keep their "fishing stuff" organized and transportable.  They'll  appreciate that, as it will mean less fuss and muss for them when they get ready to take that much anticipated fishing trip.

Tackle boxes and rod and reel organizers, as well as storage and carry units are natural choices in this category of fishing accessories.
