Gander Mountain® Fishing Gear
Real Gear for Real Fishing
Fishing well takes more than patience. It needs gear that works when you cast, reel in, or wait for the next bite. Gander Mountain fishing gear is built tough to handle water, weather, and long days out on the boat or shore.
From rods and reels to tackle boxes and clothing, every piece is designed to make your trip easier. Quiet, reliable, and ready when you are—this outdoor gear helps you focus on fishing, not fixing your gear.
Gear Built for Real Fishing
Catch Without the Hassle
Fishing isn’t luck. It’s skill, timing, and the right gear. Gander Mountain fishing gear is made to help you cast smoother, wait longer, and land more.
Won’t Quit When It’s Wet
Whether it’s a clear day or cold rain, this gear holds up. Rods, reels, and tools are made for wet hands, rough docks, and long hours near the water.
Tangle-Free and Ready Fast
You don’t need gear that slows you down. Gander Mountain rods, tackle boxes, and lines are simple to use. Setup is quick and smooth.
Works on Any Water
From calm lakes to fast rivers, this gear fits where you fish. Whether you cast from shore or boat, there’s something that matches your setup.
No More Messy Tackle Bags
Smart tackle storage keeps lures dry, hooks sharp, and gear sorted. You’ll spend less time digging and more time fishing.
Gear You Can Sit With All Day
Fishing takes patience. Seats, vests, and clothing are made to stay light, cool, and easy to wear—even when the fish aren’t biting.

What Anglers Say About Our Gear
I’ve been fishing with Gander Mountain rods for 15 years. They’re sensitive enough to feel light bites but strong enough to land big catfish. The reels still work smooth after hundreds of trips. Best value in fishing gear.
Took my Gander Mountain saltwater setup to Florida last year. Caught redfish, snook, and even a small tarpon. The gear handled saltwater perfectly and still looks great after a season of use.
I teach kids how to fish at summer camp. Gander Mountain rods are perfect—affordable enough to have several, durable enough to survive kids, and they actually catch fish. Parents always ask where to buy them.
