Promar Landing Nets
promarnets.com
Promar makes many fine products for anglers. We love their landing nets, crab-fishing gear, and gaffs. They make a wide range of nets and we use many different models. If you have a stillwater trout angler on your list, consider some of Promar’s options. We use the ProFloat Landing Nets which feature floating material on the frame and handle so the net won’t sink if you drop it, has a big basket that will allow you to land the biggest trout, and has rubber-coated net material that is easy on fish and resists hook snags. Plus, the net has a long handle, allowing you to land fish while using a long leader. This is everything a stillwater angler wants in a net.

Daiwa D-VEC Boat Bag

Tackle storage is an important concern for anglers. Being organized and in many cases portable, can be one of the keys to success on the water. Daiwa’s new Boat Bag, which comes in medium and large sizes, may help improve your tackle-storage system. From top to bottom, Daiwa’s Boat Bag is meticulously designed and constructed of only the best materials. Beginning with the outer material, the Boat Bag features an incredibly durable and waterproof marine-grade vinyl. The marine-quality, double-zippered top is further protected by a storm flap, enhancing the Boat Bag’s ability to repel water. Below, you’ll appreciate the non-slip, thick EVA padded bottom. The padding adds cushioning for more delicate items like a camera or smartphone. Transporting is a breeze, too. The Boat Bag sports padded side-grab handles, a pair of topside handles with Velcro closure, and a padded, removable shoulder strap for hauling when you load it to the gills. And you can rest assured that the handles won’t tear away under stress, either, as the Boat Bag’s triple stitching is your insurance policy. In addition, Daiwa double-stitches all fabric seams. Daiwa’s Large Boat Bag measures 18” x 12” x 12”, the Medium, 15” x 11” x 10”.

Leelock Crab Cracker

This new tool from Leelock will allow you to measure your Dungeness crabs to determine which ones are legal to keep, and then crack them in half over the top of a five-gallon bucket, thereby separating the two clusters from the shell and guts. Crabs cleaned this way take up half as much space as whole crabs so you can cook twice as many in your kettle. It’s made from solid aluminum, and greatly aids in cleaning Dungeness crabs.

ZOLEO Satellite Communication Device
zoleo.com
For the past year and a half, we have been operating this device and it works very well. It uses the Iridium satellite network to allow you to send texts and emails when you are off the grid, and Wi-Fi and cellular networks when on the grid. We tested it in remote locations where no on-the-grid service was available and the ZOLEO unit excelled. Users download an app for their smartphone which allows them to both text and email easily. We like the added functionality of using our smartphone. To become a subscriber, purchase the unit for a reasonable fee and then choose from a number of monthly service plans. ZOLEO assigns you a unique email address and SMS number; the unit also includes weather forecasting, SOS alerting, and a check-in feature to let others know you are ok and to share GPS coordinates of your location.

Spyderco makes many, many fine knives for outdoorsmen, hunters, anglers and chefs. We have tested many models over the years and they never disappoint. One of their new models is the Resilience. This member of Spyderco’s popular Value Folder series stretches all the proven features of its family to an extra-large platform ideal for big hands and demanding cutting chores. Still packed with power, the latest version of this formidable folder is lighter in the pocket than ever thanks to its injection-molded, fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) handle scales. The Resilience Lightweight also benefits from an enhanced non-slip grip thanks to Spyderco’s signature Bi-Directional Texture pattern. With a full-flat-ground 8Cr13MoV stainless-steel blade available in PlainEdge, CombinationEdge, and fully serrated SpyderEdge configurations, this offering is further supported by a sturdy LinerLock mechanism, as well as full skeletonized, stainless-steel liners. The Resilience Lightweight is also available with a stealthy, black-oxide-coated blade with coated liners, clip, and handle hardware to match. Rounding out the features on this workhorse folder are the fully accessible Trademark Round Hole for swift, one-handed opening and the versatile four-position pocket clip to accommodate any carry preference.
