W/O knowing what kind of fish he likes to fish for I hazard the following.
*A hook assortment. Usually you can find a circular container hodling various sized hooks.
*Split shot assortment. Usually you can find a circular container hodling various sized hooks.
A nail clippers - they are very useful in cutting & trimming line.
A needle nosed pliers.
A crank bait or two (rapala shad raps).
A couple of safety pin spinner baits (colors orange, yellow & green)
A couple of straight shaft spinner baits.
A couple of surface baits one buzz spinner and one minnow (Rapala). 4-5" long.
One count down rapala about 3-4" long.
A reminder of who gave him the gift. ;-)

Try doing what I did for a Friend's Birthday. Give Him the money to buy and restock a tackle box of His choosing. Money: One size fits all and it goes with everything He owns. Seriously, a fishing tackle box is a sacred thing (not unlike a handbag: only more so). It does not matter what You purchase for Your Husband, He will always want something else. Trust Me on this. I have fishing gear that was given to Me as gifts that I shall never use unless I move overseas. A Man likes to ponder the manifold mysteries of the contents of His creel, it is a form of religious experience that few of the uninitiated can comprehend. Give a Man a gift and You will be expecting Him to use it. Let Him buy his own and You can never be held accountable for His bad luck. Have a quick look at a catalog and get an idea of the price range that You are prepared to accommodate, then add 25% for good measure. Easy. Pure and simple. Just like the art of fishing should be.
Remember one thing: What one fisherman considers to be essential is "rubbish" to another angler. The contents of "The Box" is a subjective and highly personal topic. Save Your marriage and let Him make His own selection (if You are there He may actually explain the use of each item to You, thus sharing in His enjoyment).
NB: No books on "How to catch Fish"!
"Tight lines"!

Tiffani, you have a great present planned for him. I'd be a little leary of choosing his tacklebox. There is such a variety of boxes available, it would probably be best if he got to pick his own, along with all the tackle to fill it. Tackle specific to his particular needs as far as what type of fish he prefers to go after. You could cut out pictures of tackle boxes, tackle, etc. and put them in the envelope that has a gift card/certificate to his favorite place to buy fishing stuff. He's gonna love it, It sounds like he's as lucky as I am, my wife would do the same...If he's a bass fisherman, have him visit my website @ www.bassfishingtipsresource.com for some great articles and tips...

Buy him a new tackle box, then put a gift certificate for his favorite fishing store in it.
Next would be the same only instead of the gift certificate, put some cash in it.
With out knowing what kind of fishing, or what part of the world you are in, is hard to say what to get him.

A hundred dollar bill or as much as you can afford so he can get the tackle he prefers, Im sure he has preferences as the type of lures etc. he likes. Its hard for me to give an answer because I dont know what type of fish he is after ,or where he is fishing,

First I commend you for the thoughtfulness. It's the perfect gift for a fisherman. No ties please!! And without knowing what he likes to fish for, I agree with maybe a gift card to a local tackle shop or you can get one from Bass Pro Shop online and he'll be able to pick out what he needs. Remind him he's lucky. Most Dads get a shirt or a tie.

Save room for some new underware, you can pack them there instead of his suitcase. If he comes home and wonders where his Underware is, you might asked him why he did not open his tackle box. Smile Good luck, put several different hooks, lead weights, and a few bobbers. Some extra fishing line, and a spare fish holding line, (i forget its name you put the fish on it when you catch them).

Put in a $100 gift certificate for Bass Pro Shop. I hate when people buy stuff for me cause chances are I might not be able to use it and then I offend them by returning it.

it really depends on what kind of fishing he does fresh water salt and what kind of fish does he really like to go after
im guess ing bass trout mabey catfish
go with some strick king spinners some top water lures uhh some cating lures with spoons
then just the ushel some bobbers extra line plyers just have fun with it and when you think thats enough go to a sporting goods store and check what they have and choose a vast selection

you probably don't know what type of lures to buy so I'd get some spare fishing line (different lbs test) some hooks of different sizes...needle nose pliers a good knife and maybe some fish attractant
