If Mom is the type who loves to fish almost as much as she loves her kids, Mother's Day is a great time to upgrade her angling setup. Sure, flowers and a thoughtful card are nice, but what's better than a brand new rod and reel she can take for a spin later that afternoon? We've rounded up some of the best Mother's Day fishing gifts for any female angler, whether she's into offshore angling or fly fishing. These are some of our favorite products that we've tested, used, and loved (and that Mom will, too!), from the most comfortable Free Fly sun hoodie to the brand new Huk Rogue Wave clogs.
Grundens Deck Boss Boots
Easily the most comfortable ankle boots I've ever worn, the Grundens Deck-Boss boots are fully waterproof and come in 12 colors from glacier gray to dusty rose (and even duck camo!).
Bajio Annette Sunglasses
We're all about Bajio sunglasses this year, and the new Annette pair is designed just for women, featuring smaller, face-hugging frames, wide temples to block out light, and polarized glass lenses.
Shimano Sedona Spinning Reel
Of all the Shimano reels, we—and thousands of other anglers—like the Sedona for its incredibly smooth drag and easy maneuverability.
Free Fly Elevate Hoodie
I recently got the new Free Fly Elevate hoodie and if I could wear it every single day this spring, I would. It's incredibly lightweight and breathable, with a flattering cut that makes it very comfy for everything from lounging around the house to heading out on the water. Plus, the fabric has built-in UPF protection.
Turtlebox Gen 3 Speaker
If she doesn't yet own a Turtlebox, now is the perfect time to hop on the bandwagon, just in time for peak fishing and boating season. We're obsessed with the waterproof speaker that sounds incredible outdoors and even floats.
AFTCO Fishing Shorts
I own multiple pairs of the AFTCO Original fishing shorts. Perfect for warm days, they're made of lightweight and stain-resistant nylon and have a whopping five (!!) pockets, including one specifically for fishing pliers.
Plano Guide Series Tackle Box
Upgrade her tackle storage with this Plano Guide Series box. There's plenty of room for all her lures, hooks, and line with three removable spinnerbait racks and four removable utility boxes.
Yeti Roadie 15 Cooler
You can't go wrong with gifting Mom any Yeti cooler. But the Roadie 15—the brand's newest and smallest hard cooler—is perfect for her afternoon adventures. It's just big enough for a few drinks and her day's catch.
Fishpond Fly Fishing Sling Pack
A sling pack is an essential piece of fly fishing gear (unless you're team vest). The Fishpond Summit 2.0 is packed with thoughtful features for anglers, including plenty of tool attachments, four zippered compartments, and a built-in net holder.
Simms Latitude Hoody
Simms makes some of the best fishing gear for both men and women, and the Latitude Hoody is proof of that. Made of a cooling and breathable knit UPF 50 fabric, it's designed to keep the sun's rays off you, with a roomy hood and even a built-in neck gaiter.
Huk Rogue Wave Clogs
Meet the newest addition to Huk's footwear lineup for women: the Rogue Wave clogs. Essentially the popular Rogue Wave boots in shorter form, they're easier to slip on yet boast the same superior traction, cushioned sole, and waterproof exterior.
Piscifun Tackle Backpack
I've converted from a standard old tackle box to a tackle backpack, and it's been a game-changer. This one—which is made from super tough, water-resistant 1200D fabric—keeps your hands free and has 11 different customizable compartments and pockets to keep Mom's gear organized. Bonus: It comes with a protective rain cover.
Orvis Clearwater Waders
These Orvis waders are my favorite for fly fishing. Unlike other waders out there, they are tailored to fit a woman's body (no baggy and bulky issues here!) and keep water out while keeping you cool even on the warmest days.
Nicole Combs x Columbia PFG Set
Luke Combs' wife, Nicole Combs, just released a new collab with Columbia PFG. I tested out the women's fishing line and love how comfortable the matching cropped tank and leggings are. Each piece is made with the brand's moisture-wicking fabric with UPF 50 sun protection.
