Riversmith Convoy Gear-Roll
"The Riversmith gear roll is the perfect covert space saver and gear organizer. As a fishing guide I carry a ton or gear and the multiple large pouches give me ample space to carry reels, fly boxes, lines and extra rods. Keeping my gear in the Riversmith gear roll while being well constructed and super durable, frees up space in the truck to store other necessary equipment necessary for a successful day on the water."

Sage Trout Fly Reel
"The beautifully designed Sage trout reel, in all sizes, has been one of my go-to reels for the past few years. From the smaller trout sizes to the steelhead stopping 6/7/8, its closed frame design and superb drag are simply one of the best on the market. These reels are sure to please both the casual angler and the die-hard looking for a tool they can use and enjoy for years to come."

Simms Guide Plier
"I use the Simms Guide Plier each time I fish. The wide plier nose is great for crushing split-shot and unhooking fish. The nippers on the side of the Simms Plier work great for cutting tag ends and changing flies quickly. With all this being said, the feature I appreciate the most is the bottle opener on the handle. Great addition for any angler arsenal!"

Orvis Mirage LT Fly Reel
There are times when less is more—the new Mirage LT fly reel is everything its big brother is, but designed to balance perfectly with lighter rods and yet still offer legendary Mirage engineering and performance. Mirage LT features a lighter version of the sealed and maintenance-free carbon and stainless steel disc drag system that adjusts from zero to full drag in a single drag knob rotation. With zero start-up inertia and precise low-end control it eliminates line shock and protects light tippets with the same silky smooth drag, and yet offers more stopping power than you will ever need for trout, bass, pike, musky, or carp. 30% lighter and 30% narrower, the Mirage LT is made in New Hampshire by the same skilled American craftsmen that build the Mirage.

Simms Freestone Z Bootfoot Waders
"There is no doubt that bootfoot waders are significantly warmer than traditional stockingfoot waders, but that warmth often comes with a heavy price tag. Enter the Simms Freestone Z Bootfoot waders, all the warmth of bootfoot waders with a way cooler price tag. These waders are built with Simms time tested, tough, and breathable toray freestone wader chassis and feature a built-in rubber-soled boot that slides on easy. Pick these waders up for your fishing buddy that is always cold or for your next steelhead trip."

Two titanium layers that reflect body heat back to your feet for cold water comfort and warmth. All these features make the Grundens Boundary waders top of their class."
