Cabela’s + Fishing = A Perfect Father’s Day
OutdoorHub Staff 05.23.16
There are two great things about June 19, 2016: One, obviously, is Father’s Day. Two, it’s a Sunday, which for many weekend-warrior anglers, means another opportunity to hit their favorite pond, lake, reservoir or river in search of whatever is biting.
Time on the water is always good, but it’s even more special when you can share the boat or bank with your dad. The vast majority of adult anglers first learned how to cast from their fathers, and while chances are good you were too young to remember your first fish, you can bet your favorite fishing rod that it was a big day – for you and Dad!
This Father’s Day, take the time to take your dad fishing. And if you’re in the gift-giving mood, check out the five items below. Perhaps you’ll spot something you know Dad would love. Good luck on the water!
Shakespeare Ugly Stik Big Water Rods – $49.99 – $89.99
These tough spinning rods are made with the famous Howald Process and blank-through-handle construction for superior strength and sensitivity. Durable EVA foam handles and graphite-reinforced reel seats with stainless steel hoods add durability. Spinning rods have aluminum oxide guide inserts to prevent line abrasion, along with an epoxy coating to protect from UV rays plus extremely tough Carboloy tip tops. Available in lengths from 6 to 15 feet; 5-year warranty.
Cabela’s Salt Striker Spinning Reels – $59.99 – $74.99
Salt Striker reels (five sizes) are built to withstand the rugged saltwater environment without breaking the bank. Nine ball bearings plus one roller bearing provide a super-smooth drive, while the instant anti-reverse delivers stout, slack-free hooksets. The machined-aluminum spool with a titanium lip produces extended casting distances. A Hydro Shield multidisc front drag system adjusts quickly and keeps out water and debris. The machined-aluminum handle can be switched to right or left-handed retrieve.

Upgraded with an ultra-breathable Airmesh ergonomic collar that allows moisture to dry and dissipate quickly, this PFD is perfect for hot summer days.
