Luckily, for people with loved ones passionate about the outdoors, Rapala, the most trusted name in fishing, has plenty of affordable gifts outdoor lovers will fall for hook, line and sinker.

And unlike last year’s necktie or scented candle, the items below are sure to be put to good use time and time again and won’t break the bank.

Check out these great gift options below from Rapala:

Rapala BX Waking Minnow

Sure to excite the outdoorsmen or woman, the Rapala BX Waking Minnow is an attention-grabbing topwater bait with a broad waking action that will whip predator fish into a feeding frenzy. Hand-tuned and tank-tested, this lure is as tough as they come. Its lively, ultra-responsive balsa core is complemented by a durable copolymer shell that gives the BX Waking Minnow the ability to get hammered all day long by the toothiest gamefish that the water has to offer. With one cast, anglers will notice the brilliance of the Waking Minnow as it swims just below the surface, flashing and rolling on the retrieve — a presentation that entices big strikes from big Bass, powerful Pike and everything in between.

Suggested retail price: $12.99
