TRAVEL BOTTLE

This past summer and fall I have used a Yeti Travel Bottle while out fishing, hunting and while on road trips. This travel bottle is ideal for both hot and cold beverages. What sets it apart from all other double walled insulated beverage containers is that is 100 % leakproof so you can toss it in a backpack or not worry if it tips over in your boat while driving down the lake. Also, when the twist cap is opened, you can drink from any side of the lid. These travel bottles are cupholder compatible, come in 236ml, 355ml and 473ml sizes. They are available in Cape Taupe, Rescue Red, Tropical Pink, Navy, Black and Stainless. One thing to note, is they shouldn’t be used with carbonated beverages.

CURADO 200M

Shimano recently introduced the Curado 200 M low profile baitcasting reel. This new model comes in left and right hand drive and is designed to provide enhanced castability with heavier lines and lures in any power fishing situation. These reels feature Shimano’s MagnumLite (MGL) Spool III to reduce start-up inertia for unparalleled casting performance, especially when casting large paddle-tail swimbaits, big jigs, deep-diving cranks, oversized frogs, Carolina rigs or umbrella rigs. These reels use SVS Infinity technology to ensure precision casting performance with easy-to-manage and consistent spool control and brake force adjustments when faced with demanding conditions or switching between baits. They have aluminum HAGANE bodies that provide added rigidity to increase cranking power and overall reeling efficiency.

EX6 WBBR
The G. Loomis EX6 WBBR is a one-piece 7’1” medium-heavy fast-action casting rod, capable of using eight to 17-pound-test line, and lures ranging from ½ to 2 ounces. They feature high-modulus graphite which makes them extremely sensitive and durable. They are lightweight, as they’re built with a multi-taper design that reinforces potential stress points within the blank, while reducing unnecessary graphite material. They have Grade A cork handles and trigger piece on the bottom to help you hold the rod. While these rods are called casting rods, I use them for bottom bouncing as they are long enough to get the rod tip out and away from the boat, sturdy, yet highly sensitive and can handle even the largest of bottom bouncers without bending over while trolling.

WOXNA
Woxna is a relatively new name to the outdoor and bushcraft community. The Swedish company makes heirloom-quality premium folding saws that are functional works of art. For the past few months, I’ve tested a Woxna saw, and I love it. It is undoubtedly built to last. Woxna saws feature razor-sharp blades and wood handles that complement my other classic outdoor tools. Saws are available in blade lengths of 250 mm (10-inch) or 150 mm (7-inch) in high-carbon steel, stainless steel and Damasteel. The saws cut on the push-and-pull strokes, making fast work of processing firewood and other camp tasks. Woxna saws are a great gift for the adventurer who appreciates the finer things in life. Each comes beautifully packaged in a presentation box, making them the perfect gift for any outdoor enthusiast. No need for wrapping paper — add a bow, and you are ready to go.
