There are three gear ratio options: 5.3:1, 6.1:1, and 7.1:1 to adjust to how the fisherman wants the spool to rotate with one full rotation of the handle.
Additionally, there are multiple reel sizes ranging from 10XN, 15, 25N, 30, 40N, 60N to offer fishermen a wider variety of line capacity options.
Integrating the palm side plate and frame allows the Fathom II Lever Drag reels to be more compact in hand and increases strength.

BUCK KNIVES INTRODUCES ALPHA HUNTER ELITE KNIFE
Crafted for hunters looking for a blade that can do it all, the Buck Alpha Hunter Elite combines high-performance Magna-Cut steel with a solid, high-ground blade shape, designed to move easily through material without bunching.
Jimping along the blade’s spine and handle makes it easy to choke up on the blade for those tricky blind cuts. The black machine-textured G10 handle provides a strong positive grip even when things get wet. Each handle scale is removable, allowing for easy cleanup after processing your prey. Pinch points on the handle increase control when using different grips on the knife for detailed work.
Full tang construction ensures durability, strength and overall balance.
A lanyard can be attached to the lanyard hole to enhance knife retention, aid in retrieval from its sheath, or add a bit of personalization.
The knife is made in the USA. Its imported Kydex sheath includes: Black sheath with rivets, locking, multi-position belt attachment, adapter plate, and hardware. Kydex sheaths are form-fitted to your knife and will have a very tight fit initially. The sheath will break in and loosen up a bit but will still securely hold your knife. It is normal to see plastic shavings after the first few uses.

HEVI-SHOT AMMUNITION HAS SEVERAL NEW LOADS FOR 2024
HEVI-Shot is proud to announce several new loads for 2024: An all-new, steel-shot product line and two new tungsten-shot line extensions.
The all-new, steel-shot product line – targeted for upland hunter – is aptly named HEVI-Steel Upland. These 12-gauge upland-focused loads feature 7.8 g/cc precision steel pellets, in size No. 6 or 7, dependable ignition, and a unique HEVI-Shot wad to produce exceptionally tight patterns. Their high velocity provides more downrange energy.
The first new line extension is HEVI-Metal Xtreme 12 Gauge in shot size No. 2/BB. HEVI-Metal Xtreme uses Pattern Density Technology to devote 30 percent of the payload to HEVI-Shot 12 g/cc tungsten pellets (size No. 2) and stack them over steel shot (size BB).
The dense tungsten pellets are three shot sizes smaller than the steel to ensure both layers have equal downrange performance. The load features the FLITECONTROL FLEX wad for consistent long-range patterns and is pushed at high velocities.
The second new line extension is HEVI-XII 410 Bore in shot sizes No. 5 and 7. Loaded with HEVI-Shot’s original 12 g/cc tungsten that’s 53.8 percent denser than steel, these loads double the downrange energy, hitting birds harder from a longer distance.
