PRO-CURE Introduces Another First –Water-Soluble Fish Oil

For over 20 years Pro-Cure has been recognized for supplying the finest quality fish oils in the industry. We all know how effective these fish oils have been, yet many biologists tell us fish have a hard time recognizing and smelling oil-based scents. The perfect scent would be a water-soluble fish oil. Well, for the first time ever, that’s exactly what Pro-Cure has done. Water-Soluble fish oils that totally dissolve into the water column to travel faster and further than regular fish oil, and be easily picked up by a fish’s olfactory receptors (the ability to pick up smells and s cent in the water.) Plus they are UV enhanced and loaded with amino acids to trigger strikes. One sniff and you’ll realize how much more intense and easy to smell these new water-soluble fish oils are. They are perfect for injecting into baits, or squirting directly onto marabou jigs and glow bugs. They won’t matt down the finest hair or feathers. Available in 9 great flavors in a new larger 4-oz. squeeze bottle. For more information go to www.pro-cure.com or call 800-776-2873

New Lighted A-Just-A-Bubble Floats

Rainbow Plastics is proud to expand the premier A-Just-A-Bubble line of floats. Introducing the new Lighted A-Just-A-Bubbles.
    The A-Just-A-Bubble allows the fisherman to change leader lengths with no cutting or tying. To fish as a fixed float, simply feed the line through the bubble until the desired length of leader is reached, then grasp the float and twist the cap until the rubber tube snaps over and twists up. The A-Just-A-Bubble is now fixed to the line, with no tying, and the only thing in contact with the line is the rubber tube! The same cap used to twist the tube can be pulled open to allow water into the float. This added weight makes it easy to cast great distances, and if filled all the way, the float can now be used as a sinker.
    The Lighted A-Just-A-Bubble takes it to the next level for visibility. The package includes the most popular 1/4 oz. size A-Just-A-Bubble along with a two pack of 1.5" powdered green glow sticks. Open the float by the water fill/tube twisting cap and drop the stick inside the bubble. Presto! Now the float is lighted. The included light sticks feature a powder mix inside. This is the next step in chemical light sticks—they glow brighter and longer (up to 24 hours) than the conventional chemical light sticks. Replacement light stick packs are available. Available in three colors: clear, transparent red, and transparent green.
    Both floats are made of the highest quality plastics, allowing them to stay rugged in the cold, no brittle floats here, and to not break down from UV exposure. Proudly manufactured in the U.S.A.! Visit: www.rainbowplastics.com.

Can fishing yarn be improved? Steelhead Stalkers thinks so with their new line of UV-enhanced yarn. This new yarn is made with a custom blend of ultra-soft natural fibers, dyed in their unique colors and enhanced with Steelhead Stalkers’ exclusive UV process. This yarn is fully UV enhanced and the colors/UV never bleed, which is especially important for yarn balls. It cuts extremely easily and the colors blend perfectly. Colors are bright, vibrant, resist fading and because it is made from natural fibers the yarn holds scent longer than artificial yarns. Made in the USA.

Basstar Inc. Introduces the 2X Strength SpinTech Hooks®

Through years of extensive research and engineering Basstar Inc. introduces the new 2X Strength SpinTech Treble Hooks®, the first rotating treble hook for anglers. Spintech Hooks increases your percentage of landing fish by decreasing the leverage that is caused by the weight of the lure or bait, and rotates 360 degrees freely which allows for the hook to relax when there is pressure put on the hooks from the fish, and reduces the chances of your fish ripping free.  SpinTech Treble Hooks® improves your hook ratio and fish catching by being able to spin in any direction that the fish is pulling. Standard treble hooks can only turn or twist a minimal distance before engaging in a lock position, which is most often when a fish puts pressure and rips the treble hooks out of its mouth. By having a hook that rotates, will reduce any locking position. SpinTech Hooks are the first rotating treble hook that gives anglers more chances of not losing fish versus standard treble hooks. For more information about the new SpinTech Hooks, visit www.Spintechhooks.com.

Beckman Pen Fin Saver

Beckman's been turning out rugged landing nets since 1961, and continues that tradition today with options ranging from the massive Kenai Special, with its 65-inch-deep bag, to dainty short-handled trout nets. The company's flagship entry in the "fishfriendly" net category is the Pen Fin Saver. It sports all the durability and features of the flat-bottomed, fish-friendly Pen Series, with the addition of smaller-diameter, knotless, treated mesh for an even gentler boatside manner. With a 34-inch hoop and 40-inch bag, the PFT3440 is a favorite all-around choice for midsized salmonids. It's available with either 4- or 6-foot handle, both with lifetime-guaranteed yoke. Retail: $156-$160 - www.beckmanfishing.com.

Invisible Swivel by Aquateko

The InvisaSwivel line represents a revolutionary change in terminal tackle. InvisaSwivels can bend but will recoil to their original position without losing the ability to freely spin. Following the same principle as fluorocarbon line, these swivels are Flouro-Clear, making them practically invisible in water. The superior resin compound allows the swivel to perform at nearly neutral buoyancy. Unlike the old metal swivel rigs InvisaSwivels will not be pulled allowing a natural bait presentation. The non-metallic properties provide a maintenance-free, non-corrosive swivel for the first time. For more info visit: www.aquateko.com.

Cortland Masterbraid - With Fiber Tech Protection

With almost 100 years of braiding experience and technology, Cortland Line is proud to offer the next generation of "Premium Super Braid"  - Masterbraid. A premium super braid constructed using all the best features of Cortland's legendary Spectron braided line, but with a unique coating that makes the braid permanently stiff. Masterbraid is constructed in a way that makes it rounder, which means less twist, greater accuracy, longer casts and extended life. Cortland's proprietary "Fiber Tech" process bonds the color and finish into the fibers of the braid, eliminating fading or flaking of the color and stiffening agent.
