Let’s face it. Does anyone need another lure, gadget, or gizmo for the outdoors? Well, maybe not, but we all want another lure, gadget, or gizmo that helps us in our outdoor lifestyle.
Below are a lot of options that will surely get a smile once the person unwraps them!
Vortex
Vortex performance sunglasses are here to bridge the gap between hyper-tactical eyewear and uncomfortable safety glasses, delivering UV and ballistic-rated protection, comfort, versatility, and casual style.
Vortex has been in the business of helping shooters, and now anglers and more, see the world better. Several models are available including the Banshee, which is comfortable enough for town visits yet tough enough for unexpected ricochets, or the versatile Jackal in smoke or Amber.
Both models are polarized, have shatter-resistant lenses, anti-scratch coating, 100 percent UV protection, and Vortex’s lifetime VIP warranty.
Federal
Federal Ammunition recently added a Field and Range accessory lineup, including shotgun and scoped rifle cases.
Hunters and shooters can count on the Federal Field and Range product line for stylish, functional gun cases that provide up to 12 pounds of flotation. All feature quality zippers, robust padding, and rugged, waterproof 600-denier polyester construction, which promises years of use.
ECOXGEAR
The Ecoxgear Defender Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker gives powerful audio with weatherproof protection and indoor/outdoor-grade durability.
A 100W dynamic Texas Instruments power amplifier delivers massive sound, while three digital equalizer settings let you select the perfect sound for your favorite outside adventure or inside your home.
An IP67 waterproof rating means the Defender can withstand full submersion in up to 1 meter of water for up to 30 minutes, and a dust-proof sealing provides another barrier against the elements.
Weber
Go on any flat-top griddle group on social media and people post about what a pain it is to “season” the grill, often with six applications needed to get to a non-stick cooking surface.
It’s not the case with the Weber Slate Series, which features pre-seasoned tops ready to go out of the box. The rust-resistant Slate series comes in 28-, 30-, and even a whopping 36-inch model.
Carbon-steel gets transformed under extreme heat and pressure that hardens and bonds the surface, reducing the ability for moisture to collect and rust to form. It reaches over 500 degrees and heats evenly edge-to-edge for consistently cooked food across the cooktop.
Ugly Stik
The Ugly Stik GX2 has been around since 1976, establishing a reputation for unmatched strength and durability, but the new model has features that make it tougher and perform better than ever.
The renowned Clear Tip design, Ugly Tech construction, and Ugly Tuff guides are now joined with a proprietary guide coating to improve performance, an extra durable rubberized diamond EVA handle for better grip and improved durability, and finally, a new reel seat designed for better hand feel and increased sensitivity all packed under a 10-year warranty.
Frabill
The Frabill Collapsible Bait Bucket was designed to meet the needs of anglers who require compact and efficient bait storage solutions.
This innovative bucket collapses to the size of a standard Plano 3700 size Stowaway, which is ideal for fitting into boat storage lockers, storage trays, or even in soft tackle boxes.
When expanded, the six-quart capacity allows ample space for bait, while the easy-access compartment makes it easy to integrate an aerator to keep it fresh all day long.
Rapala
The Gold Miner quickly dives to depths of 30 feet and features a distinct rattle and a wide tail action to entice fish to bite in a variety of conditions.
The lure runs true whether being trolled slow or fast and has a wide-swinging action that will attract a range of freshwater fish, including lake trout, walleye, salmon, brown trout, muskie, and northern pike.
Carver
Ditch that beat-up cover and try a new Carver boat cover, available in several categories to give the boat owner a balance between perfect fit and perfect price.
Each boat cover category is available in a selection of carefully engineered fabrics to provide you with choices that are right for you and best for your boat. Whether a person wants a Custom Fit Cover, Custom Fit T-Top, Styled-to-Fit, Specialty, Pontoon, Kayak, or Flex-Fit version, these covers perform as well as factory versions for hundreds less.
Pinter
How about an amazing beer or cider you can create yourself in about 10 minutes?
With Pinter, simply mix the provided ingredients with tap water in your Pinter, leave to brew, and then refrigerate. An app takes you through every step, making the whole journey a breeze.
Everything needed to make your first beer with over eight different styles starting from $2.20 per pint. The yield is 12 pints of delicious craft beer or hard cider in as little as seven days from start to finish.
Vexilar
Based on the same performance platform as the FLX-30, the FLX-38 offers anglers unprecedented adjustability, no matter the fishing situation.
The new Pro Pack Elite case introduces two USB ports, two rod holders, and a brass insert for optional accessories. Designed for anglers who demand the best, the FLX-38 combines cutting-edge technology with exceptional performance to deliver the most advanced sonar flasher on the ice.
Ozonics
The new Ozonics HR600 has a new patented design with an amazing toolless and replaceable coil.
Other improvements include a redesigned fan with top-mounted air intake and integrated on-board charging. LED lights are handy and have incredible life, and five added modes of operation are user friendly and optimize the unit to whatever situation presents itself.
Another new feature is the extended life battery included, and Smart Arm mounting system. Keeping a buck’s nose out of the equation has never been as predictable.
Wildlife Research Center
The Golden Rope Scent Rope Kit includes: three Scent Ropes made from proprietary natural fiber rope with high absorption, high durability and no chemical treatments and three heavy-duty 15-inch cable ties as well as 4 ounces of Golden Rope Scent Concentrate.
It’s enough to make 20 fluid ounces of long-lasting attraction to dip the ends of ropes in multiple times throughout the season.
Milwaukee Tool
The Milwaukee M18 Fuel 16-inch chainsaw is your ultimate ally for slicing through hardwoods. Surpassing the speed of traditional gas chainsaws, it provides up to 150 cuts per charge, setting a new benchmark in efficiency.
Tailored to exceed the expectations of professional landscape maintenance experts, food plot builders, power utility pros, and this chainsaw stands out. At its heart lies the Powerstate brushless motor, a powerhouse of speed even under the most demanding loads, surpassing small gas engines and higher voltage systems.
The ingenious Redlink Plus intelligence system ensures peak performance while protecting the tool from overload, overheating, and over-discharge.
