Minn Kota Ultrex Trolling Motor
Minn Kota introduces the trolling motor anglers have only dreamed of - a hybrid that merges the body of a Fortrex with the brains of i-Pilot®, complete with Spot-Lock electronic GPS anchoring and more.
New for 2017, Minn Kotas Ultrex gives anglers the control and responsiveness of a Fortrex, plus effortless Power Steering and i-Pilot® features, like Spot-Lock. Paired with Steering Lock, which allows you to take your foot off the pedal without losing motor heading, Ultrex will change the way you fish.
We continue to set the bar high for break-through innovations to help anglers catch fish. Ultrex is no exception, says Brad Henry, Minn Kota Brand Manager. Weve combined the reliability and responsive wired-to-the-water feel of our tournament-proven Fortrex with the GPS technologies of i-Pilot, i-Pilot Link, and Spot-Lock electronic anchoring. Its the best of both worlds.

Strike King Half-Shell Dropshot Bait
When Strike King introduced the Dream Shot into the dropshot category, it changed the game. It has a very sleek profile and is super-soft to really offer tremendous action. Well, just as a carpenter needs more than one tool to do a job, a proficient dropshotter does as well. Born out of the collaborative knowledge of Kevin VanDam and Mark Zona, welcome to the unique and all-new Drop Shot Half Shell!
The new Half Shell was created with the intent of being uniquely different than the Dream Shot, but equally as effective, says 22-Time Bassmaster Champion, Kevin VanDam. Due to the profile and consistency of the Half Shell, it offers a very erratic darting action that fish cant resist. It has a bulky profile and a flat bottom that not only affects the action, it also ensures that it always stands horizontal on your dropshot rig. Zona and I also really dialed in the colors.
The new Drop Shot Half Shell is 3.5 long and is offered in 16 exquisite colors, including some new laminates that incorporate our new Open Pour Technology (OPT). The Half Shell will be available at better fishing tackle retailers everywhere.- Details

BassForecast, a mobile app custom designed for bass anglers to forecast bass feeding behavior, has launched in the Google Play store for Android devices. It became available for for iOS devices in the Apple App Store in April 2016.New BassForecast App based on science and feeding behavior.
Unlike other fishing apps, BassForecast targets only bass, which prefer different water temperatures and environmental conditions than other freshwater species do. Powered by AccuWeather®, USPrimetimes and WeatherBank, BassForecast uses all relevant past, current and forecast environmental factors that affect bass feeding behavior to produce a BassForecast Rating (BFR) from 1 (least active) to 10 (most active) for each day over the next 10 days for any location in North America.
Mike Mehlmann, founder of BassForecast LLC, worked with AccuWeather® over a period of 18 months to develop a user-friendly tool that gave anglers all the information they needed to assess bass fishing conditions.

Strike Kings New 8XD Dives to 20 Feet
Strike Kings XD line of crankbaits has a big brother with the new 8XD.
The XD series of crankbaits have been monumental in our product line, as well as my tournament success. I love, and have won a pile, on the 6XD. However, the all-new 8XD is a little different animal that is going to be the ultimate compliment to the 6 and 10 XD, says 4-time Bassmaster Classic Champion, Kevin VanDam. The 8XD will easily run 20 feet deep and can comfortably be fished on standard cranking gear. Plus, it just has a different, subtle action that gets schools of bass going, adds VanDam.
Weighing in at 1.5 ounces and available in 23 of the most productive cranking colors, the new 8XD is available at better fishing tackle retailers everywhere.

TackleWebs new Cup Holder Eliminates ProblemsThe new TackleWebs Hook and Loop Cup Holder brings an end to plastic folding cup holders that retain water, rot in the sun and crack when they are bumped.
Large enough to hold a 30-ounce Yeti Rambler, the Hook and Loop Cup Holder is made from marine-grade, weather-resistant materials and can be easily attached to most flat surfaces and installed in tight spots. The cup holder comes ready to install with easy peel and stick marine-grade hook-and-loop fasteners which eliminate drilling into hulls and the need for back access for through bolts. Just clean the mounting surface, peel off the adhesive cover and press to the mounting surface. Unlike unreliable suction cups that warp and lose their hold within a short period of time, the adhesive on the back of the hook and loop fasteners contains proprietary glue that will adhere securely to almost any surface. The marine-grade proprietary glue will last for years even in the harshest, wettest conditions.
