It's easy to tell when a fishing manufacturer aims its new rod, reel or tackle box at the female fisherman. Typically, it's colored pink. Hot pink, pastel pink, medium pink—it's the latest trend. And a lot of the gear is good stuff, too, but that doesn't mean all high-performance equipment for women has to be in that feminine hue. Check out this serious gear for your significant angler.

Lighter Than Air
Get her a G. Loomis ultra-light trout and panfish spinning rod and watch her interest in fishing blossom. Their lengths and weights are manageable, and they'll handle everything from trout to light-duty bass fishing. Just remember to keep your dirty paws off. Better still, get one for yourself, too.

High-Tech Ain't Just "Guy" Tech
Abu Garcia's Soron SX spinning reel matches up well with the trout and panfish stick, but it's no lightweight where it counts. Heavy-duty brass gears provide smooth retrieves and the carbon matrix drag is ultra smooth.

Full Petal Jacket
Nothing cuts a fishing trip short faster than getting cold and wet. Cabela's Dry-Plus Alatna Parka will keep her comfortable on the water. Plus, it's cut and styled for the female form so she won't struggle casting while swimming around in one of your old rain jackets.
