    The Rapala Guide to Crushing Father’s Day

    (BPT) – What’s the perfect Father’s Day gift for a dad who loves to fish?

    If your dad loves to fish, consider yourself lucky. With so many new baits, storage solutions, fishing lines, and apparel to choose from, Rapala makes it easy to find the perfect gift to make your dad’s next day on the water even better. Bonus points if you can be there with him.

    Lucky for you, the pros at Rapala have all year long to think about what fishing gear dads want the most. Here are a few things we’ll be gifting our own dads on June 15th.

    The hottest soft plastics on the planet – CrushCity soft plastics have taken the fishing world by storm, winning tourneys and putting giants in boats worldwide. Whether he’s a bass man, walleye guy, or inshore angler, a bag or two of CrushCity Mooch Minnows or Freeloaders is how to crush Father’s Day. Pro tip: buy some for yourself, too, so Dad doesn’t have all the fun.

    Give Dad his favorite lure in a brand-new color – Sure, maybe Dad already has a Rapala Jigging Rap in every color imaginable, but there’s a good chance he doesn’t have it in Pure Chrome or Juicy Lucy. That’s because these brand-new colors just dropped this year. You can bet you’ll put a smile on Dad’s face when you get him one of his favorite lures in a fun new color. Dads love shiny things, too!

    Help him get organized with a new tacklebox – Is your dad’s tacklebox old, overflowing or just plain dirty? Dads can always use more space to store their fishing gear. The RapStack 3700 Tackle Tray is perfect for the dad who needs a little help keeping his gear straight. Each tray is stackable, so Dad can keep expanding his bait collection without having to reorganize the whole thing.

    Challenge Dad to a ‘Big Fish’ competition – Sure, dads love new toys as much as the rest of us, but the best gift of all is quality time with their kiddos. So, turn your gift into a fun activity by getting him a digital scale, plus a few CrushCity baits, and challenge him to a competition: who can catch the heaviest fish! Whoever wins gets bragging rights until next Father’s Day.

    Dads love merch – Take a classic Father’s Day gift — a new hat — and personalize it by sourcing it from Dad’s favorite brand. The red-white-and-blue Rapala trucker cap will make Dad feel cool all summer. Plus, the top of his head won’t get sunburned! You’re welcome, Dad.

    If your dad isn’t a hat guy, don’t fret. This Rapala Fleece Pullover will keep him toasty on those brisk summer mornings out on the water, and he’ll think of you every time he puts it on.

    When in doubt, restock Dad’s fishing line – If your dad loves to fish, you can bet he runs through line faster than you can say “Happy Father’s Day!” Help him restock with the new Sufix Revolve Ultra-Thin Finesse Braid. When he opens his gift, tell him it’ll give him less line drag and more action. He’ll be impressed.

    Get him a cool new backpack – Is your dad always carrying things around in random bags? Gift him the Venture 13 Backpack by Rapala to keep him organized and hands-free when you two go out on the water together.
