10 Bass Fishing Gifts (They’ll Love These)

1. Absolute Outdoors Onyx M-24 Manual Inflatable Vest (Safety First!)

A Personal Flotation Device (PFD) can be an important fishing accessory and even more so if you’re on a boat or kayak (low intensity kayaking). This Absolute Outdoors Onyx Manual inflatable vest can be ideal for fishing and kayaking because it is low profile, which means your movement shouldn’t be restricted too much.

This is a manual PFD so you can inflate it when necessary by pulling on the tab, making it more convenient when you’re fishing and don’t want the added bulk when you don’t need it. It’s a Type V US Coast Guard approved PFD with Type III performance. It features neoprene at the neck and adjustable straps for a secure fit.
