APtravelnews-New Products-April 25th, Goose Holler’ Farm-When we were in Indianapolis, Indiana at the huge archery show (ATA) we found several products that we wanted to alert our outbox door sports readers about. From Knight and Hale Legendary Calls we picked up a Bloodwood Cutter Turkey Call model KHT2001 the wood is rich and the craftsmanship is perfect for an easy use realistic sounding box that will bring a turkey to attention with its deep resonance and authentic sounds mimicking real talking turkey! This is an PRADCO Outdoor Brands Product. Look for it at all hunting supply stores! Go: www.knightandhale.com
Another Box call we really liked was a Primos Hunting products, Hookup, Magnetic Box Call. The magnetic lid automatically applys the correct pressure “for perfect calls everytime!” This is an innovative designed call box and it is a beautifully executed piece of work as well. The rich Gobbles from their “Gobble Band” produces some of the most realistic gobbles possible! Check this pretty, yet no nonsense box also at all hunting supply stores, as well! Both boxes are made in the good old USA! Go www.primos.com
The third item we found was the Raptor Razor Combo Field Dressing Knives. These are big game and small game skinning knives for hunting enthusiasts. Whether for fishing, industrial use, boating, and of course hunting, the Mako Model and Big Game Skinner Model will probably be the last set of blades you’d need to handle any game gutting, cleaning and skinning needs! Take a look at www.raptorrazor.com or give a call to: 808-638-8281
Miss Kitty Likes This Solar Light, no wires, just the sun and voila, a long lasting light!
APtravelnews-April 21st –Goose Holler’ Farm, TN.-When I saw the light, a solar light that was not only bright and appearing to be very well made, I went for it for my barn fence. Davis Instruments Corporation has come up with some very fine light products, and this Rail Light, that sports three different multi-position clamps, offers all kinds of mounting possibilities. I tried the top of a metal fence post next to a dark spot next to the barn, as seen in the image and it worked perfect. Miss Kitty, our farm horse immediately came over to examine this new item in her realm and seemed to like it just fine!
This Rail Light has 4-LED’s, just push the three position high, low or off switch button under the hood of the light and you have a very bright burn, or lower burn on the solar light. The unit has a quick-release mount and the light post is adjustable too! Up to 8-hours is how long this light stays on, and the solar panel set charges the unit even if it’s in the off position.
It has marine grade stainless steel armature, (this is no cheap, big box Junker- light) a sturdy Nylon Post Clamp, an internal Fresnel Lens and the solar panel is sealed epoxy coated with a Rechargeable replaceable battery under a weatherproof hood. You can install this in so many ways with the included mount systems that you just can’t miss being happy with it! Really like this unit, highest quality I’ve found and I’ve looked everywhere! Go www.davisnet.com510-732-9229 and check this light out, as well as their other very useful and neat products!!!
So 78-years later (read the article) I still rely on Berkley for up-to-date, tried and tested terminal fishing tackle!
APtravelnews-April 19th, Crossville, TN.-–We have been in travel mode from FL to TN and finally settled in and turned on the “box with keys!”
When I received my sample Berkley package of line and lures at a SEOPA (Southeastern Outdoor press Associaition) Conference. I had stashed it away for a look-see, it had gotten packed and buried until now that we have begun our house-cleaning chores in our summer and fall home on the Cumberland Plateau in TN.
Having been around for quite awhile and seen the evolution in fishing gear, I was particularly taken (once again) how much strength, durability and thickness of modern lines has come into being from here-to-fore lines of the thick- milled past. To me limpness, ease of casting, small footprint for a fish to think about whether to swim away or attack the baits, attached to nearly invisible thread between angler and fish, is paramount in placing said line on my reel!
Well, there are many companies that can boast of having such modern lines, but Berkley truly stands out for me as one of the very best! When I first met Berkley Bedell, I felt that he was more than a business man and entrepreneur in the fishing industry, I saw his passion and believed that he loved fishing as much as anyone could-perhaps even more than I did and do? In any event, the Berkley name is on almost all of the products found today in every tackle shop across the USA ( I do prefer to buy my gear from mom and pop stores that are disappearing as quickly as wisdom teeth, lately} but thanks to the giant box stores being able to sell a million items more cheaply that a small tackle shop with the owners knowledge and advice of all things fishing for an angler to tap into over a box of hooks, lures, rods and reels and lines, fishing interest is proliferating, as well! However,Americans today have tended to discount that advice, except perhaps in the fly fishing circles where matching everything and the hatch, to a wily trout, instead of a dumb bass (which I love with a passion as well) still is understood by the non-tournament bound anglers seeking competition for love or money! No matter! I use gear, from spin, conventional rolling pin reels, push-button I find at travel destinations on water when I forget to carry my tackle and my toothbrush too, and of course one or more of my nearly, 100 of my favorite fly outfits!
Any size line, enough variety in all manner of hard and soft baits, tools that all anglers need is the hallmark of Berkley Products!
