MINNETONKA, Minn., May 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- A welcome change from the cliched necktie or bottle of cologne, this Father's Day, help dear old dad satisfy his thirst for aquatic adventure with the gift of best-in-class gear from Rapala^® and Respected Rapala Brands.

Whether he's an experienced angler or just beginning to discover the sport, Rapala and Respected Rapala Brands offer a wide variety of premium baits, tools, accessories and apparel perfect for outfitting both fresh and saltwater sportsmen.  

The following are just a few great gift options from the angling world's top brands.

Rapala^® Scatter Rap^® Crank Deep & Shallow
When Rapala introduced the Scatter Rap^® Series, the angling game changed forever, thanks to the lures' one-of-a-kind Scatter Lip^™ and evasive, erratic swimming action. Now, the brand unleashes the new Scatter Rap Crank Deep and Scatter Rap Crank Shallow, leaving fish nowhere to hide.

A gift that will have pops hookin' hawgs like never before, the Scatter Rap Deep features an elongated lip that allows the lure to dive quickly and work the deep part of the water column, while its counterpart's shorter lip design brings the Scatter Rap's irresistible action to the shallow 4-to-5-foot depth range.

Especially potent when targeting Bass, the lures' compact balsa bodies deliver a responsive action that searches from side to side on the retrieve, mimicking a baitfish fleeing attack and triggering strikes from multiple game species.

A can't-miss Father's Day gift, this is one of few times dad will appreciate you giving him some lip.

Suggested retail price: $8.99

Rapala^® Heavy Duty Electric Fillet Knife

He'll love the knife's control and power, and with twice the blade speed of lesser fillets, the old man will cleanly and quickly slice through rib and backbones faster than ever, taking the hassle out of cleaning Walleye, Salmon, Trout and other large game species.

Featuring a relaxed grip for fatigue-free filleting, the knife's 8-foot power cord provides ample opportunity to maneuver around the fillet table when preparing the day's catch for the evening's feast.
