Carhartt | Fleece Hat

The Carhartt Fleece Hat is an awesome stocking stuffer for the hardcore angler. This hat is perfect for chilly mornings on the water or all day during the colder months. This hat has a good reputation of not sliding up and down on your face, allowing you more time to worry about catching fish. Made of Polyester and hand washed, you get a super comfortable feel as soon as it slides down on your head. With a one size fits all approach, you dont have to worry if they have your size or not. Available in a variety of stylish colors, the Carhartt Fleece hat is an awesome addition to any angler's arsenal.

HUK | Kryptek Performance Hoody

The Kryptek Performance Hoody is perferct for that younger, hipper, hard-core angler. This hoody features a drawcord hood that will keep you happy and dry. With water resistant fleece, this hoody handles the boat spray or light rain. Next, HUK designed this hoody to be light enough to not bog you down, but substantial enough to weather those chilly early morning excursions — the perfect weight to handle what you need. Finally, when you do actually wash it, HUK'S stain release will keep the blood or other stains from sticking. To show you're passion about your sport, HUK added a pop of Huk camo to the inside of the hood.

Humminbird | Helix 7 SI Sonar

The all new Helix 7 SI Sonar was the winner at ICAST 2015. This is the real deal when it comes to sonar imaging. With it's high-resolution 480x800 wide-screen display, the side imaging feature offers 100 ft. of information from either side of your boat, so that means more fish you and your partners are able to put in the boat. With the down imaging feature, the Helix 7 SI features lifelike images of underwater structure, so you can see even the tiniest of details, putting you way ahead of the game. GPS chart-plotting features a built-in UniMap for keeping records of hotspots and letting you really examine the whole lake from the seat of your boat. The Helix allows you to store up to 2,500 waypoints so youll never forget the spots that were hot earlier in the day. Featuring brilliant 7" 256-color LED-backlit screen with a 480x800-pixel glass-bonded display, you will be looking at the cleanest, clearest, underwater imaging Humminbird has ever offered. DualBeam PLUS sonar has a focused center beam and a second wider beam for both precision coverage and total coverage.

An aggressive body design creates a more ergonomic feel while adding more power and better gear efficiency.

Gerber | Freescape small Lantern

The Freescape Small Lantern emits light from the frosted side lens as well as through the bottom of the lantern to maximize effectiveness for use both above the table and on it. An easy to use spring-loaded handle makes the Freescape Small Lantern simple to hang within a tent or from a rope suspended in a nearby tree. The Freescape Small Lantern is powered by three AA batteries, equipped with a power-kill functionality that keeps the light off when stowed away to guarantee long battery life. In addition to its infinitely adjustable dimming feature, the Freescape Small Lantern is reliable no matter what dilemma arises, whether camping or at home. The IPX4 water resistance rating means that even if left out overnight in the rain, the Small Lantern will continue shining bright. Featuring bright green accents along the black surface, the Freescape Small Lantern draws just the right amount of attention to itself so as not to get lost in the shuffle of camp gear. Perfect for any fishing adventure you and your family might go on this season!
