Gear & Gadgets: An extension to Federal ammo line and much more – Outdoor News

FEDERAL ANNOUNCES NEW HI-BIRD UPLAND LOADS WITH FIBER WAD

Federal Ammunition announces a new line extension to its popular Hi-Bird upland game hunting product line. Hi-Bird Fiber (Paper) Wad’s cellulose wad construction helps minimize plastic left in the field, yet still offers the same hard-hitting performance as the original.

The patented design of the fiber over-powder wad creates an effective gas seal, and the paper shot cup is designed to prevent barrel/shot contact and improve pattern performance. Additionally, the overall fiber/paper wad system design helps reduce a shooter’s environmental impact on high-volume shoots.

The new 12-gauge, No. 5 load’s high velocity (1,330 fps) and specially formulated lead shot produce downrange energy and pattern density that efficiently takes down birds at all shootable ranges. It’s available in 25-count boxes.

This new product was motivated by a customer need, because certain ranges and areas are beginning to require plastic-free wadding. Federal also offers the paper wad in cartridges tailored for the dove hunting and sporting target market, such as Federal’s Upland Steel and Top Gun loads.

AFFORDABLE CRYO CARBON ICE RODS

Introducing the CRYO series ice rods that offer exceptional performance with a custom look and feel. Eagle Claw’s CRYO Series ice rods are setting a new standard, delivering unparalleled quality at an unprecedented price point, putting superior performance within the reach of everyday hardwater anglers.

It all begins with the ultra-lightweight, high-grade carbon graphite blank. This foundation not only ensures a robust and durable rod, but also delivers precision sensitivity, allowing you to feel every movement of your jig beneath the ice.

In addition to the advanced blank, Eagle Claw has equipped the CRYO series with stainless steel fly style guides, a feature loved by serious ice anglers across the country. These guides significantly reduce the rod’s overall weight while enhancing its performance. CRYO Rods also features custom handle design that forgoes a traditional reel seat, you have the freedom to position your reel exactly where you want it, rather than being limited by factory-set locations. This unique feature enhances your ice fishing experience by increasing feel and further reducing weight.

To finish off these premium ice rods, they added a high-visibility tip to ensure that even the slightest bites don’t escape your notice.
