VOL. 31 • ISS. 25 cHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE NOV. 23 - DEC. 7 • 2012 27 The Fish Sniffer’s 2012 Holiday Gift Guide Vol. 31-Issue 25 - Page 27 • Nov. 23 - Dec. 7, 2012 Grundens USA Introduces New Gage Technical Gear Bags Grundens USA has added two new products to its recently launched Gage Technical Gear Line — the Shackelton Duffel and Rumrunner Backpack. These rugged, waterproof bags are built to the same tough standards that have made Grundens the choice of Bering Sea crab fishermen and professional mariners worldwide. Designed for waterproof protection under extreme conditions, new Gage duffle bags and backpacks are like foul weather gear — for your gear. Crafted from 500 Denier PVC Tarpaulin Fabric with 100-percent RF welded seams and roll-top closures, these packs will keep clothing, electronics and other gear dry and protected on any adventure — from high-seas voyages to backcountry camping to trekking the misty jungles of Costa Rica. With its cavernous 105-liter capacity, the Shackelton Duffel can stow a wide variety of items. It will easily hold all the clothes you’ll need for a multi-day cruise, float trip or backwoods excursion. With its three-fold roll-top closure to ensure a waterproof seal, the Shackelton Duffel is also a great “dry bag” for whitewater rafting adventures. The Shackelton Duffel’s innovative design includes sturdy padded backpack straps that hide in a zippered compartment in the bag’s bottom panel when not in use. With its heavy-duty carrying straps and backpack option, this pack is a versatile way to transport and protect vital equipment like cameras, GPS units, marine electronics and more. The new 30-liter Gage Rumrunner Backpack is ideally sized for transporting clothing and gear on your back — whether it’s onto a waiting boat or a distant campsite at the end of a rainy mountain trail. Like the Gage duffel bag, the Rumrunner Backpack features a rolltop closure for a waterproof seal. This unique pack features a moisture wicking back panel for increased comfort during long treks and strenuous activities. In addition to its large main compartment, the Rumrunner features a convenient front mesh pocket with retention straps, two water bottle pockets and neoprene shoulder strap pockets. The new Gage Shackelton Duffel carries a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $97; the Gage Rumrunner Backpack retails for $73.50. Both are available through authorized Grundens USA retailers nationwide.

The innovation packed Revo is the fastest low profile reel the Abu Garcia company has ever produced, but it’s also one on of their toughest reels. The Revo’s toughness and cranking power emanates from its oversized brass main gear, dubbed the Duragear. In addition to being tough, all the reels in the Revo lineup are also extremely smooth as a result of their innovative Carbon Matrix drag system. The Revos are designed with aluminum components for lightweight performance and lasting durability. Combine all this form a function with a price point well below $300 and it’s easy to understand why the Revo has taken the baitcaster market by storm! Early, the Revo lineup basically consisted of three reels, the S, SX and STX. The SX and STX models feature a Linear Magnetic Brake system that allows anglers a wide range of adjustments to fine tune the reels for any application. In addition, the STX model features an Everslik coated pinion shaft and pawl, which dramatically reduces friction for enhanced casting, while improving the durability of these components. The STX also features the innovative Infini Spool II system, which is separated from the drive train and minimizes friction for optimal performance, even with the lightest tackle. Over the past several years I have fished extensively with both the SX and STX and I can’t praise these reels enough. My first Revo was an SX. It just so happens that my SX is setting next to my desk as I write these words. I’ve torture tested this reel on everything from big rockfish and lingcod, to stripers, to black bass and it has never given me any trouble what so ever. I’ve never lubricated it, I’ve never cleaned it other than rinsing it off with freshwater after using it in saltwater and it just keeps on going strong. Despite hammering lingcod on it with the drag virtually locked down while using 30 pound braid the drag is as smooth as it was when the reel came out of the box. The spool rotates so smoothly that I can flip a quarter ounce jig into the waste paper basket setting next to our copy machine about 12 feet away while setting at my desk (the office staff loves it when I start pitching lures around our work area!) After I got my SX I picked up an STX • Cont. on Page 31 STS Guns…For Guns, Tactical Supplies, Ammunition, Hunting Apparel And More!
