Some New Gear for 2018 |
Grand Teton Rolling Luggage and Teton Rolling Carry-On
For the traveling angler Fishpond redesigned their luggage category. The Grand Teton is a large pieced designed to hold fly rods in their tubes. It also features a PU and DWR coated base compartments to keep damp waders and dirty boots from the rest of your clothes.
The Teton Rolling Carry-On version comes with two gear straps that allows the traveler to strap a rod tube along side. Both feature clamshell type design for easy access.
Thunderhead Submersible Sling
Mention the word "Sling" and "Waterproof" in the same sentence and fly anglers pay attention. If you don't have one, you probably want one. The Thunderhead Submersible Sling is constructed tough and roomy. Thirteen liters of roomy. It features the fully waterproof TIZIP zipper closure on the main compartment. The Thunderhead Sling come in Cutthroat Orange and Yucca.
Thunderhead Submersible Backpack
Thunderhead Submersible Lumbar
Fishpond added a great feature to this Thunderhead Submersible Lumbar that made me take notice. They added the ability to customize the waist belt with your own accessories. Notice in the picture they have a set of pliers in a holster attached, (not included of course) by built in gear strap. Featuring exterior Hypalon® tabs and reinforced cord loops for tool and accessory attachment now lets you make this pack work for you instead of conforming to someone's idea of what you want. NOTE Manufacturers: I'd like to see more of this!!!
Rod Luggage
The popular Fishpond Dakota Carry-On Rod and Reel Case has been updated with new looks for 2018. The Dakota Also comes in a 45" Spey Size.
The Jackalope Rod Tube is unique in that it unzips from either end. The Jackalope also comes in a standard 9' four piece fly rod size as well as a 45" Spey size.
All New Gear Bags
Two all new gears bags. Starting from the left is the New Cutbank Gear Bag. While not submersible, the Cutbank is more then capable of keeping your valuable gear dry. The exterior of this boat style bag includes options for many accessories such as velcro on lid for fly patches, D-rings for clip on stuff such as Fishpond Headgate Tippet Holder and many lash down points.
To the left is the all new Green River Gear Bag. This molded bottom tackle style bag features many compartments to organize your gear for easy access.
New Wader Gear
Tired of Tacos? How about a Burrito! The Burrito Wader Bag is a "must have" for the on the go wade angler. This roll and go bag is ideal for changing out of wet waders and boots and the best feature is that it is it's own wader changing mat.
Accessories
You may already be familiar with the Fishpond Headgate Tippet Holder and the loaded with RIO Tippet Headgate Holder. This Year Fishpond introduces the Headgate Tippet Holder XL designed specifically for 4" Saltwater spools.
The New Quickshot Rod Holder is an interesting idea. Attached this handy rod caddie to your waist pack or backpack for a second rod or handle your primary rod while rigging.
The New Gear Straps are only limited to your imagination. 10" in length and come 2 to a pack.
That's enough for now...
