Fly Product...Loon Outdoors' Tin Drops

Knowing that lead can be detrimental to fish and birds, Loon Outdoors launched its Tin Weights last week. 

Tin weights certainly aren't a new concept, but Loon created weights that are non-toxic, easy to use, and textured to prevent slipping, double cut to re-use and adjust easily, and available in nine sizes. In either matte camo or black to reduce spooking of wary fish, in numerous container options and weight sizes (Skinny Water or Big Water, etc.), Loon also sells refill packs when anglers run low. 

Pricing is as follows:

Twist Pots: $8.95

Refill Tub: $6.50

4 Division Multi Packs - $12.50

6 Division Multi Packs - $17.50

8 Division Multi Packs - $25.50

Fly Product...Wade Rod Co.'s Tide Chaser Series

Remember this name...Wade Rod Co. What Wade is doing is a game changer. Tell me this isn't the most badass idea for getting a rod into your hands. You have the choice to pickup a rod at an already awesome price flat out OR buy on payments on a no interest rate. Check it...

There is no greater thrill in fly fishing than stalking extremely large, hungry, easily-spooked fish along coastal inshore waters. Whether you chase stripers in New England, big reds in the marshes of the south, or bonefish on the turquiose flats of the Caribbean, the Tide Chaser is your new weapon of choice. We designed the Tide Chaser to be light enough to make that 1000th cast, yet strong enough to punch big flies through the wind.

Features:

• 9' 8WT & 9WT, 4pc
• Med-Fast Action, Tip Flex, Graphite Blank
• Black Nickel guides
• Tri-tone decorative thread wrap
• Anodized Black Aluminum reel seat hardware
• Weighs just 4 3/8 oz (125g)
• Matching Cordura Rod Tube & Sock
• Covered by our Wade Care Protection program

Every rod we make is backed by our 30-Day Love It or Leave It Guarantee. If for whatever reason you don't love your new Wade Rod, just return it to us within 30 days for a full refund. Rod must be in brand-new, un-used condition, with the cellophane still on the cork handle to qualify for a refund.

Nature Boy Designs' New Site

In the early days of TLTFF, I had the privilege of linking up with Keith Westra. He was a guy with a bomb proof rod tube, covered with amazing art, and a vision. As that vision developed, we began to see the evolution of Nature Boy Designs, a West Coast based company that sold unique products to the fly industry courtesy of Keith's creativity. As Keith developed one of the original designs of paracord lanyards and THE original measurement-integrated LS shirt, the expansion of NBD offerings grew every year. That evolution continued to diversify through the addition of fly management via my personal favorite NBD product, the Hat(ch) Patch. As Keith's ideas grew and came to fruition, so did his family...and thats why his latest move makes complete sense.

It was only a matter of time before this progression brought us to where we are today...a brand spankin' new, streamlined, sleek website AND the introduction of NBD Jr. We're excited to announce this progression here on TLTFF for our close friend Keith.

The support within the fly industry makes it such a unique, symbiotic system. There really isn't any other industry like it, and thats what drives people like myself to LOVE it, and Keith to continue to do what he loves via NBD. Roll on over to the new site, www.natureboydesigns.com and be sure to check out the new NBD Jr. line for all of our future outdoors people's needs.

Fly Products...New Rambler Cap Options from YETI

RAMBLER BOTTLE CHUG CAP

Get to drinking faster with the Rambler Bottle Chug Cap. It just takes a quick half-twist of the TripleHaul™ Handle to open and then you’re good to go, making it easy to steal a sip without slowing down. Its classic spout allows for speedy gulps, plus it’s shatter-resistant and dishwasher safe, like the rest of the YETI Rambler accessories. And while your friends don’t need to chant “chug” as you drink from the Chug Cap, we certainly don’t think it hurts to add to the experience.

RAMBLER BOTTLE STRAW CAP

We simplified sipping with the Rambler Bottle Straw Cap. When you need some water (or whatever cold drink suits you), all you have to do is flip it open, take a sip, and close it tight to stay moving. It’s leak-resistant, easy to carry (thanks to the TripleHaul™ Handle), and has a wide straw opening so you get more drink with every sip. Wherever the wild takes you, the YETI Straw Cap for the Rambler Bottles makes it easy to sip without slowing down. 

You can read more about the new series and see what other accessories you can snag for your Ramblers by clicking here. Both of these new caps are only $9.99.
