This holiday shopping season is upon us, and to get in the spirit, we’ve put together a list of great gifts for all types of anglers. Don’t let the holidays sneak up on you. Treat the anglers in your life (or yourself) with these TFO favorites.
For The Angler Always On The Go // Traveler Series
We’ve all been there. You’re on a trip staying at an Airbnb with a pond or stream nearby, you’ve got time to kill, and you wish you had a brought fishing rod. The Traveler series was made for moments like these.
TFO’s newly redesigned Traveler series of high-performance 7′ three-piece rods is hand-crafted for the globe-trotting adventurer in all of us. The series offers a diverse range with seven models, including five spinning and two casting options. Meticulously crafted using IM carbon fiber blanks, Traveler rods feature precision-engineered tip over ferrules, providing a one-piece feel. The result is an exceptionally light, sensitive, medium-fast, high-performance fishing tool.
The rods are finished in a sharp, non-glare navy finish and topped with Fuji K guides with Fazlite inserts, making them safe for freshwater or saltwater environments. Additionally, they feature feel-thru reel seats with carbon fiber inserts and premium cork grip with EVA accents.
All Traveler rods include rod socks and an airline overhead-friendly 32″ rod tube, perfect for an angler always on the go. Whether you’re always on a plane heading somewhere with fishing nearby, or you want something to have in the back of the truck for whenever there’s a moment and opportunity to wet a line, the Traveler series has got your back.

For The “Do-It-All” Conventional Angler // Professional Series
If you know someone who is always on the water—whether in salt or freshwater—TFO’s Professional Series will be a great addition to their collection. With over 15 years of building rods in this category, the newly redesigned Professional Series of spinning and casting rods continues the lineage of providing anglers pursuing fresh and saltwater gamefish with a single lineup covering many species and fishing techniques.
Highly durable, standard modulus carbon fiber and moderate fast action blanks with powerful butt sections come together to create one of the best values of any rod on the market. This seventeen-model series includes eleven spinning and six casting, with power ranging from light to heavy. Full-length grips on 7’ & 7’6” spinning rods, split grips on all remaining models.

Perfect For The Kids! // Bug Launcher Kit
Do you have a young person in your family or life who has shown interest in fishing? The Bug Launcher rod and Bug Launcher kit is a great way to get them started.
Bug Launcher rods include thinner-diameter compressed cork grips for a better fit in smaller hands. The yellow Bug Launcher logo stands out against a candy apple red blank. An extended reel seat allows smaller anglers to use two hands for more control. Two 2-piece models – a 7’ 4/5 weight and an 8’ 5/6 weight. The kits come with a rod, case, and an NXT Black Label reel spooled up with backing, line, and leader ready to go!

Perfect For Any Fly Angler // NTR Reels
If there’s anything a fly angler could always use more of, it’s an extra reel or a spare spool. Certain scenarios call for getting flies to a different water depth, and having another reel or spool with an appropriate line can make a huge difference in the success of the day.
Designed for anglers looking for a high-quality machined aluminum fly reel at a friendly price, NTR fly reels are offered in two colors, clear-gold and black-gold, and come in four sizes, from a 3/4-weight to a 9/10-weight. Perfect for any single or two-handed rod in the freshwater quiver. TFO NTR fly reels are fully CNC machined from lightweight 6061-T6 aluminum and feature a smooth cork disc drag system (drawbar design). A one-way stainless-steel spindle bearing with an internal cap and O-ring seal. The drag system is sealed to keep out moisture and dust. The NTR series reel features an outgoing check and can easily change from left to right-hand retrieve.

For The New Fly Angler // NXT Black Label kit
The NXT Black Label series kit is designed to make fly fishing simple and affordable – TFO’s mission. And because TFO’s NXT series kits are the gold standard for fly fishing schools and educational programs across the United States, we consider it our most important product. Whether as a great gift for the aspiring fly angler or a superb backup for the fisherman who has everything, the NXT Black Label offers the highest performance-to-price ratio of any fly fishing outfit available, and TFO’s full lifetime warranty covers it.
NXT Black Label kits come in four models, covering everything from creeks and small streams to large rivers and even light saltwater applications. Check out the NXT Black Label kit here.
