TacSport Pro
Bix’n Andy TacSport Pro is as reliable as the original TacSport trigger but with even lighter pull weight adjustable from 3.5 to 35 ounces. Ball bearing system allows the lowest reset force of any trigger for a very crisp let-off that promotes even better accuracy. Machined from stainless steel with a housing designed to keep dust and debris out of the mechanism. Comes with a standard safety lever and a removable bolt stop. Designed for Remington 700 and compatible actions. Other trigger brands don’t come with a bolt release, so they won’t work in a factory Remington 700 action. With TacSport triggers, you can choose whether or not you want the bolt release, and it won’t cost you anything extra if you do. That’s what makes Tac-Sport triggers unique: they can be adjusted to the exact specifications of your action. MSRP starting at $235. To learn more, contact: Bullet Central, Dept. FFG, 1102 Page Dr. S., Fargo, ND 58103; (701) 371-4444; www.bulletcentral.com
Arbogast Hula Popper 2.0 has the classic profile of the original with new colors, hardware and a feather tail. That’s right, the rubber skirt has been swapped out for a rear-treble feather hook that accentuates movement on the water’s surface, and the designers made sure the 2.0 has the same popping action that has triggered decades of heart-stopping topwater strikes. Hooks upgraded to #6 black nickel to ensure penetration, and a new split ring allows a fuller range of motion to assure hook-sets. MSRP $7.99. For more information contact: PRADCO/Arbogast, Dept. FFG, 3601 Jenny Lind Rd., Fort Smith, AR 72901; (479) 782-8971; www.arbogastlures.com
Higher Ground SatPaq® clip-on cell phone accessory is the first consumer product to communicate directly with high-orbit geostationary satellites for the fastest and most reliable pay-as-you-go satellite messaging.

A new spectrum-sharing concept was first approved by the FCC for the Higher Ground SatPaq (26 U.S. patents granted or in process). Other functions include two-way texting; tracking; location-based weather reports; 24/7 emergency roadside assistance; and customized first-aid advice. SatPaq costs $249. Messages cost 40 cents each ($30 buys 75 messages). There is no monthly service fee. For more information, go online at: www.satpaq.com
