Flip In The Bird
Lure
Flip In The Bird is the most revolutionary lure to hit the market in years, perfectly mimicking the birds that occasionally light in your local waters. When we found a black bird inside a lunker’s stomach, we realized what many other anglers also have realized—big bass and other predatory game fish love eating birds. Flip In The Bird can be worked fast or slow. One effective method is to dead-stick the bait for 5 to 15 seconds and then mimic a distressed bird by twitching it left and right. With a great weedless hook system, it can be thrown into deep cover or over nasty slop. Never sinks—guaranteed. “Match the hatch” with one of 9 color schemes including Red Headed White Bird, Red Winged Black Bird, Grey Finch, Yellow Breasted Chat, House Finch, Yellow Headed Black Bird, Blue Bird, White Breasted Tree Swallow, and Fire Tiger. Suggested retail $12.99. Contact: Flip In The Bird Lure Co., Dept. FFG, 670 Ardis Ave., San Jose, CA 95117; (408) 561-2552; www.flipinthebird.com

ThermaCELL Heated Insoles provide remote-controlled foot warming comfort. The wireless remote lets you select medium heat, high heat, or no heat at all while feet remain comfortably inside shoes or boots. The remote has a range of 7 feet and uses a uniquely coded, highly reliable radio frequency transmitter that is paired to one set of insoles. ThermaCELL Heated Insoles provide continuous warmth for up to 5 hours. Use in intervals, and they last much longer. Imbedded lightweight lithium-ion polymer batteries eliminate the need for bulky external batteries and can be recharged up to 500 times. Because they are water resistant, ThermaCELL Heated Insoles function well in damp environments. Slip them into different footwear depending on the activity. Lightweight soft-cushion design provides additional all-day comfort. Customize to fit any shoe size from a women’s 6 to a men’s 13. Suggested retail $129. Contact: ThermaCELL Heated Insoles, Dept.

M-Y Paws-I-Trip Step-Down option for #1.75 and #2 coilspring dog-on footholds is an improvement over all stock pan designs that will eventually be incorporated into all PIT pan systems. Works the same as the original PIT, only with advantages. Since it sits closer to the trap’s base frame, it is easier to bed the trap with a slight depression over the pan to encourage a critter’s commitment to step between the trap jaws. Because the pan sits deeper, animal rolling, scratching and digging at the set is less likely to cause the trap to misfire, thus improving target capture rates. Original PIT systems are being used on most makes of trap, including Montana, Minnesota Brand 550 & 450, CDR, Coyote Cuff, Duke, Bridger, Sleepy Creek, Victor, Livestock Protection and also on obsolete traps such as jumps, double longsprings, Newhouse, Montgomery, Northwood’s, Blake & Lamb, Pioneer, Herter’s, etc. Contact: M-Y Enterprises, Dept. FFG, 220 S. Lincoln St., Homer City, PA 15748; (724) 479-9442; emedvetz@verizon.net
Harmon Death Mist hunting scents couldn’t be any easier to use. Just pop the distinctive fluorescent orange top off of the 6-ounce aerosol can, aim and spray. Harmon Scents are strong and very effective, the freshest urine available sealed in an airtight container. May be sprayed into scrapes, mock scrapes, on decoys, scent wicks, drag rags, the bottoms of boots, the leaves over a scrape, nearby bushes, trees, or simply up into the air to be carried downwind on prevailing breezes. Harmon Death Mist Triple Heat, the flagship scent, combines the appeal of three different female deer-in-heat to drive bucks crazy with some of the strongest, freshest doe in estrus urine available. Harmon Death Mist Dominant Buck maintains the value, strength, and purity of the original Harmon Dominant Buck scent — popular with hunters for over 29 years. Suggested retail: $9.99.
