Amphibious 4WD Boat
Ocean Craft Marine, a Maryland company, wants boaters to take their water experiences to a whole new level with their new fully-aluminum, fully amphibious boat, The AMP 230 ALU. The boat is designed with features to cater to both leisure boaters and anglers. It’s made of high-quality aluminum, making it both lightweight yet sturdy. Perhaps the most fascinating part is the 4WD amphibious system that enables you to enter or exit the water with ease, no need for ramps. This boat can virtually go anywhere, the company claims, with a system as easily operated from the pilot’s seat that is simple as driving a car. Standout features include fish rod holders, a live bait station, a 60-liter live fish well, a wash down pump that makes clean up easy, a toilet seat and a 56-liter cooler. Visit https://ocmamp.com
The new ICOtec Outlaw-Plus Professional predator call/decoy combo represents a new era in high tech predator calling innovations, according to ICOtec. From the completely new Animal Audio smartphone app to crystal clear sound quality, the new ICOtec flagship, Outlaw-Plus utilizes the 300-yard non-line-of-sight remote control and a new Bluetooth connectivity feature. The Bluetooth range is approximately 70 yards with the caller on the ground, more than 100 yards if raised off the ground a few feet. Any sound a user can play on their phone would be possible to stream to the ICOtec Outlaw-plus via the Bluetooth technology. ICOtec streamlined the sound file organization to allow for up to 128 categories and a maximum of 500 sounds to a category folder. Customers will be able to store up to 2,000 sounds on the externally accessible SD card. The caller continues to use two-sound technology, and long battery life, up to 60 hours of calling time, is a key feature. The Outlaw-Plus includes the AD400 adjustable speed predator decoy with two separate toppers, a UBS cable and remote sync cable, topped by a 5-year warranty based on the model. MSRP is $449.99.

Originally introduced in 2002, and updated in 2020, DAIWA’s Saltiga spinning reel set a new standard for heavy-duty saltwater spin reels. Now, driven by demand from inshore and nearshore anglers, the Saltiga is available in new 4000, 5000 and 6000 sizes. The new Saltiga reels are infused with technology, including DAIWA’s monocoque body where internal loads are supported through the external skin. The single-piece high-strength aluminum body can house much larger internal gearing, meaning more reel power. Sophisticated paint and finishing processes deliver enhanced corrosion protection. DAIWA’s Longcast spool offers reverse tapered spool design that reduces casting friction for longer and easier casting. MSRP is $949.99. Visit daiwa.us or call (562) 375-6800

Every ethical hunter is troubled by the thought of losing wounded game, and a new arrow tracking system can help eliminate a loss, according to Pro-Tracker Archery. When an arrow is released at game, a specialized radio frequency with a signal emitter and receiver is activated upon impact with the animal. As the arrow penetrates, the signal emitter detaches from the arrow and remains in the hide. Using radio transmission, the transmitter sends a signal to the receiver, pinpointing the location of the animal. The transmitter has a battery life of 18–20 hours and a range up to 2 miles. The system employs the same technology used in hunting dog tracking collars or biology studies. The tracker works with any fixed blade broadhead, and horizontally opening mechanical broadheads. The transmitter and carrier must rest on top of the arrow shaft. The system includes a practice “dummy” transmitter to help archers get zeroed in before the hunt. MSRP is $449.
