GoPro Hero4 Session

GoPro Hero4 Session

It’s ridiculous. The newest GoPro, the Hero4 Session, approaches spy-cam tech for its minimal dimensions. It’s waterproof as-is, requiring no housing. One button turns on the Session and has it recording immediately. It shoots 1080p60 video and 8 mp stills. Retail is a penny shy of $400. — Doug Olander Doug Olander

Savage Gear‘s Hard Shrimp lure uses a magnetic hook holder that keeps the treble close to the body. It features an erratic underwater darting action on a slow to medium retrieve and an erratic walk-the-dog surface action on a medium to fast retrieve. MSRP: $10.99. — Chris Woodward Chris Woodward
