Daiwa

Daiwa adds to its popular Tatula Elite bass rod series, with 29 technique-specific models developed with leading tournament pros, including the Midwest’s own Seth Feider.

Abu Garcia

The new Revo Rocket low-profile casting reel features an astounding 10.1:1 gear ratio for burning lures in and eating up any slack line after the cast. It has an asymmetric body design that allows the use of a larger spool, which helps the Rocket increase “castability” without increasing the size of reel.

Adding to the list of features is the Powerstack drag system that delivers up to 25 pounds of fish stopping power. An IVCB-6 brake system promises the ultimate performance in controlled casts while 10 stainless-steel bearings, plus one roller bearing, make the reel smooth as butter. Dad will love the oversized knobs and handle.

Milwaukee Tool

Whether Dad is working on clearing a small food plot or his lake lot, the Milwaukee M18 FUEL, 21-inch Self-Propelled Dual Battery Mower delivers best-in-class cut quality and more max torque than 200cc gas mowers. The Redlink Plus Intelligence allows the mower to achieve an instantaneous throttle response for blade and drive motors, increasing control and productivity for the true 21-inch cut capacity. It also features a 3-in-1 capability for bagging, mulching, and rear side discharge all without the need for smelly oil or gas.

Field and Forest

Is there a better thing to do with Dad than camp? Fleet Farm presents the Field and Forest Big Timber 9-Person Dome tent. Roomy at 83 inches tall and a total footprint of 19 feet by 17 feet, including the enclosed sunporch, this tent has more than enough room inside for two queen-size air mattresses. The tent features a room divider for added privacy, and the floorless sun porch provides extra space for outside gear like coolers, chairs, and footwear.

Powered by a single 2Ah Lithium-ion battery, it makes fast work of filleting jobs big and small with a 71/2-inch PTFE-coated blade.

Vexan

The StrikeBack casting reel has a high-strength composite graphite body that anglers can palm easily, and a nine-speed magnetic brake to help prevent backlashes. Its 7:1 gear ratio is fast enough for burning lipless cranks, but beefy enough for flipping jigs. The reel has a comfortable EVA knob for easy reeling and 9+1 ball bearings for smooth performance.

The Deck-Boss Sandal, a result of a collaboration with SeaDek Marine Products, offers comfort, performance, and style in a flip-flop.

The LM2 offers hunters 20 MP photos, so no detail is missed while scouting. A new antenna maximizes the available signal in each area, ensuring that photos are viewable in the app to help hunters plan their hunt better than ever before. The half-second trigger speed and 90-foot detection and flash range make it harder for even wary bucks to make it past the LM2 without getting their picture captured.
