Gear Review:  Cablz™ Eyewear Rentention

Gear Review: Cablz™ Eyewear Rentention

Cablz Eyewear Rentention ReviewTrips Used: 3

Pros: The new Cablz™ system for eyewear retention (www.cablz.com) is truly a unique and clever design because it never touches your neck while the glasses are on.  Yet, if for some reason you take them off they will not get lost since they will hang from your neck.  The thin wire (or mono if you have the mono version) will never get all sweaty and dirty from your neck since it is so thin and can always be rinsed.  The rubber inserts slide onto any glasses very easy and yet are Continue Reading

Tricking out a solo canoe for fishing

old town 119

Article by: Dale Oakey (JustFishin)

Over the years I’ve probably canoed and waded a few thousand miles on rivers and streams east of the Mississippi.  As I’ve gotten older the two-man canoes I use seemed to have gotten much heavier. To compensate for age and to extend my river fishing life I purchased an Old Town Discovery 119 which has become my go-to boat. Why a canoe over other options? Primarily because Continue Reading
