The Seaqualizer
The SeaQualizer made its debut at ICAST six years after its initial release. It’s an innovative fish-release tool designed to help fish recover from the effects of barotrauma. Barotrauma results from bringing a fish up from depth too quickly preventing it from releasing air from its air bladder quick enough as pressure on it is decreased. This causes the air bladder to expand beyond its normal size.
To combat barotrauma, the SeaQualizer attaches to a fishing rod or retrieval line and releases the barotrauma stricken fish at a predetermined depth. Each salt-water model has three depth settings to choose from — 30 feet, 50 feet or 70 feet for the shallow modell 50 feet, 100 feet or 150 feet for the standard model; and & 100 feet, 200 feet or 300 feet for the deep model.
Price: $59.99
Yeti Rambler
Yeti’s Rambler comes in 26 ounces and 36 ounces. The former is $23.99 and the latter is $29.99. There’s also the half-gallon and full-gallon Rambler jugs, with durable construction and top-of-the-line ice-retention technology.
Yeti Panga Duffel Back
YETI’s new Panga Duffel Bag, winner of the Fishing Accessory category in the New Products Showcase competition, is designed for long fishing trips, back-country adventures, fly-fishing excursions or hunts into the wild. The air-tight closure makes the bag waterproof and keeps moisture, and many other outdoor intruders, out. The tough exterior fabric makes it durable to last many trips and the straps make it easy to haul or drag on the dock — or even chuck on or off your boat.
Anglers can choose from three sizes — 50, 75 and 100.
Price: $299.99 for the 50, $349.99 for the 75, and $399.99 for the 100
