Gearing up for fall trips

Fish on

Fall season is no time to put away the rods and reels. With bass slapping on the feedbag, it is time to hit the lakes and catch a lunker. Shimano came out with the Nasci series of reels for 2016. They feature the company’s new Hagane Gear concept and X-Ship, which boasts a more rigid frame and plenty of bass-stopping power.

Shine on

When the sun goes down in the bush in the fall, complete darkness quickly follows. Light up the night with the Princeton Tec Vizz series of headlamps. They feature 205 lumens and are waterproof to one-metre. They have three light modes, including a red mode for seeing at night. They are made in the United States and run on three Triple A batteries. They are light and powerful - the two most important factors in a headlamp.
