Mill Scale Metal Works Yakitori Grill<\/b><\/span><\/p>\nDon\u2019t know Mill Scale Metal Works? You should. Brothers Matt and Caleb Johnson are self-taught welders who have spent the last decade building custom pits and smokers for some of the biggest names in barbecue out of their\u00a0shop in Lockhart, Texas. They\u2019ve garnered worldwide attention for their\u00a0fabrication of the highest-quality restaurant-grade smokers, and the Yakitori represents\u00a0their desire to bring the Mill Scale brand to the everyday grill man.\u00a0The Yakitori is a Texas take on a traditional Japanese grilling style. The multi-level grill offers superb heat control,\u00a0as each rack can be moved to a higher or lower position\u00a0for searing, resting, or slow roasting. Its quality construction promises\u00a0season after season of use. With the Mill Scale Yakitori Grill, you can retire your backyard clunker and step up to big-league barbecuing.<\/span><\/p>\n $1,560<\/b> (millscale.co<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n Always putting their best foot forward for the avid fly tier, Loon Outdoors\u00a0has done it again with their newly released tying mat. It\u2019s the perfect solution\u00a0for those of use who feel like they spend more time at the vise searching for misplaced tools and materials rather than tying flies. Neatly divided magnetic compartments keep hooks, eyes, and beads in place\u2014and tools and materials\u00a0organized. Its silicone construction is easy to clean, and UV resin and glues peel away, ensuring a tidy, mess-free working\u00a0surface.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n $35<\/b> (loonoutdoors.com<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n Really? A pink fluoro leader, you say? Yes, indeed, says Umpqua. The science behind Umpqua\u2019s new tippet material\u00a0points to unparalleled\u00a0subsurface invisibility; red is the first color in the water column to disappear,\u00a0and pink, being the lightest\u00a0shade of red, disappears fastest. Furthermore, the experts at Umpqua explain, when standard fluorocarbon gets nicked, kinked, or abraded, these imperfections can stand out underwater like a neon sign to our wary quarry. The\u00a0pink additive greatly diminishes\u00a0this fluorocarbon trait. When a stealthy presentation is key, consider Deceiver HD Big Game Pink another weapon in your arsenal. Available in 8-pound to 40-pound.<\/span><\/p>\n $14.99-$29.99<\/b> (umpqua.com<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. This old adage certainly applies to a good multi-tool, especially when it comes to equipment malfunctions in remote areas. This all-inclusive unit combines 17 tools in a tough and compact yet ergonomic design. It includes spring-loaded pliers, locking-blade folding knife and saw, Phillips and flathead screwdrivers, bottle opener, and much more. We\u2019ve used this tool countless times to service reels while traveling, and have even used it to de-hook unfortunate fellow\u00a0anglers. The redesigned Truss solves many of the design issues that plagued its predecessor, the Suspension. While there are many capable multi-tools on the market, the price point, compact size, and weight\u2014combined with Gerber’s trusted name for quality and craftsmanship\u2014make the Truss a solid tool.<\/span><\/p>\n $60<\/b> (gerbergear.com<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n The PRO line of products from Orvis continues to impress, and the PRO Waterproof Sling Pack is a great choice for wading anglers or for traveling anglers in search of a collapsible bag that can serve as both boat bag and wading bag. We used every bit of this bag\u2019s 14 liters of space when carrying it as a boat bag in Belize and Mexico earlier this year. And when using it to stalk flats, its ergonomics, durability, and total protection against water made us true believers. Much like the Orvis PRO Waterproof Roll Top and Waterproof Backpack we\u2019ve previously reviewed, this pack is virtually bombproof. It\u2019s made from 840-denier ballistic nylon and coated with .1 millimeter waterproof TPU on both sides of the fabric. It has a submersible No. 10 TIZIP waterproof zipper; you can hold this pack underwater and it won\u2019t blow out. The generous opening allows extreme ease of access to sort through our typically overstuffed pack, and the interior hanging pocket is a great spot for leaders, tippet spools, cash for tips (and small entrance fees at Belize\u2019s Bacalar Chico National Park), and other small items. We used the outer pocket for our cell phone, keeping it protected but allowing easy access when we wanted to snap a photo. The strap is the most comfortable we\u2019ve ever used\u2014there\u2019s 10 millimeter foam padding in both the strap and the pack\u2019s back panel. The recessed tippet holder, fly patch, and water bottle pocket with retention leash are easy to access. The design and engineering that went into this pack are evident.<\/span><\/p>\n $279<\/b> (orvis.com<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n This new hot-weather sun hoodie from Free Fly balances breathability and sun protection in a shirt that\u2019s a little heavier and more durable than Free Fly\u2019s Bamboo Lightweight Hoodie but still light enough for hot days on the water. The shirt\u2019s material\u201483 percent polyester, 11 percent Tencel, and 6 percent Spandex\u2014is soft and smooth against the skin and offers UPF 30 sun protection (for comparison, Free Fly\u2019s Bamboo Lightweight Hoodie is UPF 20). Without question, our favorite feature is the innovative hand cuff for sun protection. Unlike the majority of shirts that have thumb holes\/loops that allow the cuff to ride over part of the back of the hand, the Elevate hoodie has a thin fabric loop that goes over the middle finger (or whichever finger works for you), pulling the cuff snugly over most of the back of the hand and providing the highest level of sun protection we\u2019ve seen without gloves. Unlike gloves, however, this design allows an open palm and greater tactile sensation for handling line. We think this shirt<\/span>\u2019<\/span>s hand cuff is going to be a game-changer in performance fishing-apparel design. The crossover hood provides total sun coverage and is fitted, although the fit leaves room for a cap. It has a slim fit through the body, but there\u2019s room to move.<\/span><\/p>\n $88<\/b> (freeflyapparel.com<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Aero Bag Toss is a fresh take on the classic game that goes by many names. The rules are the same, but the boards are not. Bote has made the game portable and storable by using the same technology they use for their inflatable paddle boards. They\u2019re easy to air up with the included pump\u2014and very sturdy. Great for tailgating or truck camping. The price point may be higher than other versions of the game, but these boards are very cool and can go anywhere. $399 <\/b>(boteboard.com)<\/span><\/p>\n (Affiliate Link: https:\/\/bit.ly\/3UUUM8W<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n Costa Del Mar has taken a leap forward with the PRO Series line of sunglasses, which feature multiple design improvements that address problems anglers face with fit, fogging, and durability. Sweat, sunscreen, and heat stay off the lenses with the help of adjustable nose pads, eyewire drains in the frame below the lens, and sweat management channels along the inside of the temples. The PRO series, which covers a line of multiple popular Costa frame designs and lens options, also has an improved Hydrolite material in the temple that\u2019s supposed to be more durable. We\u2019ve been testing a pair of Reefton frames for several months, and we like the suite of design improvements designed to keep the lens clear of fog and sweat so we can see more fish. It takes some time to get used to the new nose pads, but once you get them dialed in, the design is effective in keeping your fish vision clear. We also tested a different frame with the low-light Sunrise Silver Mirror lens and found it exceptional for seeing into the water on overcast days and during crepuscular periods.<\/span><\/p>\n $284 (costadelmar.com<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n We have\u00a0been long-time fans of Fishpond\u2019s\u00a0innovative products, which always put a premium on durability and quality. The Stowaway Reel Case is certainly no exception. With an impact-resistant bottom and cushioned interior, it will keep up to ten reels protected in transit. The removable padded dividers allow you to set up any configuration to accommodate\u00a0anything from fly boxes\u00a0to camera\u00a0equipment. With a cool, ergonomic\u00a0rope handle, it\u2019s easy to carry and transport. We even\u00a0use it to keep our reels and spools stored and organized\u00a0back on the home front.<\/span><\/p>\n $99.95<\/b> (fishpondusa.com<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n Boat, field, or kitchen\u2014your knives need to be sharp. Lansky offers a simple, affordable solution that anyone can use to hone an excellent edge. The Lansky Turn Box is a wooden block drilled with four holes that forms the base of the sharpening system. Turning the cap of the box dispenses four 5-inch rods\u2014two medium diamond rods (600 grit) and two fine ceramic rods (1,000 grit). The holes are drilled to accept the rods; one set of holes places the rods at a 20-degree angle while the other places them at 25 degrees. In general, use the 20-degree angle on your kitchen knives. The 25-degree angle will create a more durable edge on pocket knives and hunting knives. Use the diamond rods first. Hold the knife perpendicular to the wooden base and draw it down the rod while pulling it toward you to the tip. Twenty or 30 laps on each side of the blade should suffice for all but the dullest knives. Then replace the diamond rods with the ceramic rods. Fifteen or 20 laps will polish the blade to finish the job. We\u2019ve used this sharpener on very small pocket knives as well as our large kitchen knives with impressive results. At just over 10 ounces and under 10 inches long, the Lansky Turn Box stows easily for travel.<\/span><\/p>\n $51.99<\/b> (lansky.com<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n Originally, bitters were the essential ingredient that distinguished cocktails from other mixed alcoholic drinks\u2014most notably the Old Fashioned and the Manhattan\u2014giving them balance, flavor, and complexity. Since 2006, Munich bartenders Stephan Berg and Alexander Hauck have been producing a variety of bitters to mix historical cocktails true-to-recipe. The Bitter Truth Cocktail Bitters Traveler\u2019s Set gives you a smattering of their finest offerings\u2014Aromatic Bitters, Celery Bitters, Creole Bitters, Jerry Thomas Bitters, and Orange Bitters\u2014along with a Recipe Booklet\u2014to let you take your mixology show on the road. All very handsomely packaged in a retro tin. Makes a great gift for the home cocktailer at a very modest price.<\/span><\/p>\n $19.99<\/b> (the-bitter-truth.com<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n Kona has come up with a full complement of hooks suited to tying a variety of flies for virtually\u00a0any saltwater angling scenario or species. The BIg Popper Hook has a kinked shank to reduce twisting\u00a0inside\u00a0large foam bodies or streamers.\u00a0The Big Game Hunter is a short-shank streamer hook\u2014ideal for Game Changers and variety of tarpon fly designs. The Universal\u00a0Strong Streamer is a great choice for bonefish and permit flies, and we love the Xtra Strong Stinger for\u00a0redfish patterns on the Gulf Coast. All of Kona\u2019s saltwater-specific hooks boast ultra-sharp, high-carbon steel and a resistant black nickel finish, ensuring fantastic strength\u00a0and durability.\u00a0$8.50-$13.50 per pack <\/b>(konafishingproducts.com<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n Designed and engineered by guides in Helena, Montana, Trxstle\u00a0has developed an original\u00a0and convenient roof-rack system to house and transport your fully rigged fly rods with unparalleled\u00a0protection and convenience. It mounts to any vehicle\u2019s roof rack with adjustable\u00a0mounting lengths, and inner-suspension rod liners and reel padding\u00a0ensure your equipment is shielded from the harshest elements and traveling conditions. The carriers are easy to take down and double as portable rod-carrying cases.\u00a0With\u00a0such thoughtful design and convenience, it\u2019s no surprise\u00a0Trxstle quickly found a dedicated following with their original version. Scheduled for release in the coming months,\u00a0Version 3 promises several key hardware upgrades. We can\u2019t wait.<\/span><\/p>\n $499 and up <\/b>(trxstle.com<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n A small rod company that has traditionally been know for its intermediate-priced rods has pushed into the high-end category with the new Opal series. The rod is a deep blue with blue and silver thread\u2014quite handsome at first glance. When casting, the first thing you\u2019ll notice is that it tracks very well and is definitely a big improvement from Beulah\u2019s earlier saltwater models. Not as fast as expected, but fast enough to make easy casts for distance while preserving delicacy and feel at the tip. The designer had roosterfish on his mind when working on the Opal series, as this one includes a strong butt section for lifting fish. The cork and fighting butt are also tastefully done, completing the attractive look. Not a bad choice for a limited budget. A fine rod for less than $800 is not easy to find these days.<\/span><\/p>\n $750<\/b> (beulahflyrods.com<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 10 must have flies for saltwater fly fishing<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n![\"Fly](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tailflyfishing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fly-tying-mat-2.jpg?resize=1080%2C722\")
