Gear & Gadgets: Cuddeback launches Tracks trail cameras, Kast-King tackle bags, and more

Cuddeback, an industry leader in trail camera technology, announces “Tracks” cellular trail cameras. This line of trail cameras will focus on traditional cell cameras outside of the CuddeLink ecosystem.

Tracks is built on a new small ergonomic camera platform that maximizes the features users are looking for in a cellular trail camera. Historically, lesser cell cameras have been plagued by poor or spotty coverage and mediocre image quality.

The new Tracks camera combats this issue with the integration of dual external paddle antennas for superior LTE reception in fringe areas. Tracks uses an advanced IR-cut image sensor resulting in better image quality and reliability. The camera runs on four D batteries, which provides longer battery life than cameras powered by AA batteries. Additionally, Tracks supports connectivity to all Cuddeback accessories, ranging from external battery packs and solar panels to mounting systems.

A built-in user interface allows the users to easily program and make changes to settings while at the camera. Users can also remotely adjust camera settings through the web interface or via the smart phone app.

Finally, the new Tracks series allows users to access images four different ways: smartphone app, email, text messaging, and online web interface. And Tracks can send emails & texts to up to five people, allowing users to share images with friends and family without giving them access to the account.

KAST-KING RELEASES FISHING TACKLE BAGS

Designed with the angler in mind, Kast-King tackle bags make it easy to organize, manage, and store your fishing gear.

Their tackle bags are tough and water resistant. Made from Dacron polyester, these bags are built to withstand the rigorous conditions anglers face every day. The polyester material helps to repel moisture while the padded handle and shoulder straps help to reduce the fatigue of a fully stuffed tackle bag.

KastKing tackle bags offer generous organizing and storage capacity. Both models offer a large main compartment to house your tackle trays stuffed with hard baits, soft baits, and terminal tackle. Our large bag can accommodate up to (4) 3700 size standard tackle trays and the medium back can hold up to (3) 3600 size standard tackle trays. Numerous zippered pockets are ideal for stashing additional soft baits, small utility trays, terminal tackle, tools, or other small items. A rubberized mesh pocket offers a good spot for leader line, line cutter, baits, or rain gear for easy access.

Your valuables will be protected from the elements with the internal waterproof pocket, ideal for storing your keys, phone, and wallet.

Choose the right KastKing tackle bag to suit your needs and fish in style! For more information, visit www.kastking.com.
