  Strike King Lure Company

New Products for 2010:

 

 

The new products you will find as you venture into this catalog are probably the best new product offerings that you will find coming out this year. In a recent conversation with Pro-Staffer Denny Brauer discussing Strike King’s new product offerings for 2010 he was quoted as saying, “What an awesome time for me in my career to be a part of something so awesome with a company that continues to blow me away at the turn of every corner. How can you not be excited about what we (Strike King) will be coming out with this year, it gets me excited as I plan for the upcoming tournaments and it gives me the confidence in our products that I can go out there and fish and finish high in the standings.” It’s time and endorsements like that and many others that help Strike King achieve many of our new product goals each year and this year is no exception. From some all new Rage softbaits to some all new “Sexy” crankbait patterns and a few more twists along the way. Please spend some time going through our new 2010 Catalog.

Snosuit logo

New 2010 Products:

 

Performance Winterwear:

Snosuit performance Winterwear was born of the premise that ice fishing - like skiing and snowboarding - deserved activity specific outerwear to accommodate the exacting demands of the sport. Each premium Snosuit garment is engineered to not only keep you warm and dry, but also move naturally with the human form while offering unmatched durability. Snosuit performance Winterwear is a member of the Frabill family of fishing brands.

 

Snowsuit Bibs and Jackets:
The zenith of performance winterwear. Warmth, comfort, durability and versatility hitch a ride with contemporary design and style. And it moves like you move. Take a seat. Drop to your knees. Stay warm and dry. Your lower half gets treated like your better half with padding, insulation and lasting material in all the right places.
Snosuit Bibs & Jacket

The Gauntlet Glove:
The Gauntlet Glove leaves winter defenseless while claiming the title of being the best headwear ever engineered for the rigors of ice fishing. The mid-forearm length, gauntlet-style glove delivers unprecedented protection against wetness shouldered by SnoShell™ waterproof, windproof and breathable membrane.

Gauntlet Glove

The Gauntlet Mitt:
The Gauntlet Mitt was developed to crash Old Man Winter’s party, in particular the part where he removes the feeling from your fingers. The mid-forearm length, chopper-style mitt combines warmth, dryness, comfort, and utility into a first-of-its-generation garment.
Firstly, SnoCore reflects and reuses your body’s natural radiant heat.
Secondly, warm air is trapped between micro-fibers to manage and maintain temperature.
Thirdly, SnoCore encourages body moisture to escape, keeping your skin dry – an essential component of staying warm.
Dryness is the result of SnoShell™ waterproof, windproof and breathable membrane technology.

  Mercury Outboards

Fury by Mercury:

 

Mercury Creates Fury with Latest Propeller:

Mercury Fury Prop review by Darren Jacobson of Angling PromotionsFury is cast from Mercury's X7 Alloy™. According to Mercury engineers, X7 is 30 percent stronger and four times more durable than conventional stainless steel. This strength and durability enables Mercury Propellers to manufacture a prop with thinner blades and higher rake angles, creating unprecedented efficiency in all ranges of operation.

Fury is built to increase both acceleration and top speed; the large blade area produces a better hole shot, and the high-performance blade geometry creates better top speed.

In Mercury-conducted tests, Fury provided 20 percent better acceleration from 0 to 20 mph and was one mph faster at top speed than conventional stainless steel props with the same pitch. Tests were conducted with a Triton TR-21X powered by a 225 OptiMax Pro-XS.

Conservation Series:
Conservation Series nets are designed with safe catch and release in mind. All nets feature 100% knotless mesh netting, eliminating injuries commonly caused by sharp knots. Flat, linear bottoms reduce fish rolling and support the weight of the entire fish. Tangle-free coating prevents hooks entangling in net. Mesh guard hoops resist wear and greatly extend the life of the net. Conservation series nets are offered in a series of specie-specific designs that are highlighted with POP that make proper net selection easy for any angler.

Quantum

New 2010 Products:

 

Quantum® inshore spinning reels turn 50 but look and feel 40:

Quantum’s® Energy PTs and Catalyst PTs “Performance Tuned – Saltwater”
inshore spinning reels both get new 50-size models for the 2010 product year to give anglers more line capacity, but with little increase in reel size and weight. Quantum engineers redesigned the 40-size models in the two popular inshore series to receive 50-size rotors and spools. Also as part of the process, they incorporated Quantum’s new and improved Thinline aluminum body with aluminum side cover into the transformation, along with also giving them the recently improved TiMag Salt bail system. The TiMag Salt system features a durable and lifetime warranted nickel-titanium bail wire that helps eliminate the age-old spinning reel problem of bent and broken bails. Additionally, the Quantum exclusive bail system uses powerful magnets instead of springs to snap bails open and closed, solving the other most common spinning reel malady – broken bail springs. With the TiMag upgrade also comes improved bail trip reliability. Both models feature Quantum’s time-tested and proven layered PT ceramic drag system that combines carbon fiber with ceramic discs for exceptional lock down and super smooth drag performance. The Catalyst Inshore 50 PTs has 9 PT Polymer-Stainless bearings and the Energy PTs 50 is an 11-bearing model. Handles are interchangeable to right or left side. Gear ratio for each is 5.2:1 and their weights are comparable at around 13.6 ounces. Both reels are protected by Quantum’s 6-Layer Salt Guard corrosion protection finish to keep them looking good for a long time.
The new Catalyst Inshore 50 retails for $149.95; the Energy version sells for
$209.95.
