Topo Designs X Tenkara Rod Co.

Via TOPO Designs:

We teamed up with Tenkara Rod Co. to develop a kit that gives both the new and established Tenkara fisherman everything he/she needs in a small, lightweight package.

Simple functionality was the guiding principle used when creating the Topo Designs x Tenkara Rod Co product collaboration. We harnessed our mutual love for getting people outdoors and developed a kit that gives both the new and established Tenkara fisherman everything he/she needs in a small, lightweight package.

The Topo Designs x Tenkara Rod Co kit includes a 12ft medium action Tenkara Rod, Tenkara line, selection of traditional Tenkara flies, a Leader Wallet to organize line and flies, as well as a limited edition of our Light Hip Pack to carry it all. -$259.00

The Fiberglass Manifesto's '12 Days of Christmas'

Via TFM:

This post is just a heads up that the yearly craziness of gift giving called the 12 Days of Christmas starts on the morning of TOMORROW, Monday, December 9th and will run through Friday, December 20th.

As in years past, I've set this up as a series of daily giveaways where all you have to do is send in an email each day to participate and the random number generator picks a winner or winners early the next morning before I start off another giveaway for that day. 

This is the third year of the 12 Days of Christmas giveaways and each time around it's grown a little bigger than the last.  This year's sponsors could not have been more supportive with over three dozen gifts to be given away over the course of the event.

The 12 Days of Christmas is sponsored this year by the generosity of the following gear companies...

BOZEMAN REEL
COSTA 
ECHO
FINN UTILITY
GHILLIE KETTLE
GOAT HEAD SOLE SPIKES
HOWLER BROTHERS
MARSH WEAR
NATURE BOY DESIGNS
ORVIS
PATAGONIA
REDINGTON 
REP YOUR WATER
RIO PRODUCTS 
SIMMS
SMITHFLY 
STORMY KROMER
SWIFT FLY FISHING 
THE LITTLE RED BOOK OF FLY FISHING
TIPPETAC
TOPO DESIGNS 
VERMONT FLY GUYS

The 12 Days of Christmas giveaways are a lot of fun, allow me to highlight gear and companies that I really dig, and of course offers everyone a chance to win some phenomenal prizes.

This is also a very fitting way, within this season of giving, for me to say thank you to the readership that makes writing this website each morning before work (or late at night before bed) more than worthwhile and a lot of damn fun.  Thank you.  

See you bright and early on Monday (TOMORROW) morning. Please don't start sending emails before then.

Fly Products...Topo Designs' New Cold Splinters Tee

Topo Designs has been rolling out some great stuff so far in 2013. With our next review with them going live soon, I just wanted to introduce everyone to their new shirt...The Cold Splinters Tee.

Few folks speak our language quite as well as the multitalented Jeff Thrope from Cold Splinters. So when he offered to steep a bit of his outdoor/camp/hike/general awesomeness into the Topo cup, we jumped at the chance. The result is a wonderfully simple tee that simultaneously harnesses all the goodness of days gone by and days that have yet to come.

Printed locally in Colorado on Jungmaven tees which are made in the USA from 60% Hemp 40% Organic Cotton. Fits true to size.

Materials: 55% Hemp 45% Organic Cotton

Offered in sizes XS-XL and only $36.00, this is a pretty neat shirt that anyone could add to their collection. Oh and P.S., its made in the USA (like all Topo gear).

TOPO DESIGNS URBAN OUTDOOR PACK

Reward yourself and your pals after a good long trek with a few icy cold suds courtesy of Topo Designs Urban Outdoor Pack. Forged from 1000d Cordura fabric and boasting a totally lined and waterproof inside, it also sports a detachable/collapsible 6-pack cooler. Looks cool enough to carry round the urban streets too, with its stylish leather-trimmed finish. And don't worry if you forget to pack a bottle opener (we always do), for it comes fitted with its very own custom designed lid-flipper. -$140

Fly Product: Review of the Topo Designs Sling Bag and Accessory Bags

So its taken me far too long to get this review written...big apologies. I got in touch with Topo Designs back in March to review one of their packs, right around the time Lilly was due. She came two weeks early, the packs came after she was born in May...not an excuse, just explanation and apology. It has indeed given me and Zach plenty of time time to review the Topo gear thoroughly! Click below to see the full review...

Via T.F.M.: I just ordered mines like yesterday...

Topo Designs Accessory Bags

There is no denying that I am a bit of a neat freak, bordering on O.C.D., when it comes to keeping my fly fishing gear organized. It just makes everything so much easier if I know where it is.

After years of wasted ziplock bags I finally found a set of fabric bags from Topo Designs which will be a big help in keeping items where they are supposed to be in my packs and gear bags. 

The Topo Designs Accessory Bags come in three useable sizes and in a mix of different color combinations.  I opted for the set of three for $40, which aren't a bargain, but these will last near forever. Topo Designs uses high quality and durable fabrics in their gear and all items are made in Colorado.Check out the Topo Design website for more information and to see their other offerings.  The Mini Mountain Bag is next on my purchase list.
