IZORLINE ACCESSORIES: Straps, and Such

IzorlineIzorline keeps coming out with useful products. They make strap and harness systems that are obviousely designed by fellow fishermen. Their tools are some of the most practicle on the market for our applicaton. And, their gloves are one of the niftiest items I've seen in a long time. The three straps listed below serve some essential purposes. To help you keep your rods together, safe, and easy for transport to and from the boat, the Rod Sling holds your rods, securely attached with velcro straps, with a sling to use over your shoulder while carrying. Next, Izorline's Rail Strap attaches to your reel, and helps keep your valuable rod from taking a dip. This is an essential item to use on all trolling rods, especially if you are working the water alone. The last item offered is another dandy tool, Izorline's Reel Shoulder Strap. This item clips on your reel, allowing security and aided fishfighting. You can still work your rod, cast, and have extra pull when fighting a big fish. It's also a good security tool, while lazily working a bait, never being sure when the big dawg will come up and take you for a turn around the boat.

Rod Carrier System (sling several rods over your shoulder, great for transporting gear to the boat)
@ $12.99 - This is a must-have item if you ride the party boats, or carry several rods and reels to and from your boat. It's a winner, the best of it's type made.

Thumb Dinger
Spectra Burn Prevention!

Here's a strange new product that just might find a home with some of our clients. Slicing through a finger, or getting spectra burn while leveling line on a conventional reel is not uncommon. Some guys use Izor's Flex Wrap, some use a glove, some take their chances... But, for I think this little device might be something well worth considering. It's a one-finger-glove, just covering up to the first joint with a small leather cap. The product is MADE in the USA, designed by fishermen, works on either the left or right hand, and available in three sizes. The large size will work for most of us, the small for women and kids, the extra large for guys with major league mitts.

Izorline Gloves

062699d.jpg (24555 bytes)These darn things are a great idea, for a lot of reasons. I don't know if you're as much of a clutz as I am, but every time I go fishing I end up with all sorts of cuts and scrapes on my hands. (That's why this is a public service announcement...) These nifty gloves, designed by fishermen for fishermen will help protect you from nicks and cuts, and offer kevlar reinforcement right where you need it. They also keep the sun off your hands, which may be a health benefit if you spend a lot of hours under the sun. They'll last a long time, due to their water friendly construction. They're 100% waterproof and can be immersed in salt or fresh water. You can even wash 'em in washing machine. If you buy a pair, you'll use 'em, and you'll be glad you made the purchase.

Izorline Fish Handling Gloves

Grabbing fish is slippery work, Izor helps out by providing two excellent working gloves that will surely please.  The rubber gripper gloves in the bottom of the picture are something you'll absolutely want to have with you when you return from a long range trip. When you're separating your catch, putting them on your "number" you'll be glad you planned ahead by purchasing a pair of these high utility gloves.  @ $6.99 / pair

The yellow glove in the picture is a "gripping glove."  You'll use it on your boat frequently, for tailing a fish, organizing your catch, grabbing a gaff.  When ever your grip is failing, you'll find these a handy companion. @ $4.99/pair

normarkFG.jpg (39102 bytes)Normark the maker of Rapala lures, produces a number of fillet knives and accessories.  While most of their knives are freshwater size, they do have one product that's essential to most fishermen.  They make a glove that will help you keep your fingers out of the gumbo - literally.  The highly flexible glove is made from a stainless steel fabric material that's quite good at preventing cuts and slices.  You can still chop through them with a serrated blade, or poke through them.  But, you'll prevent most all of the slices you might get from a sharp fillet knife.  You'll also get a better grip on the fish.  The gloves are machine washable, so you can keep 'em clean.  I like these a lot, use them whenever I'm cleaning fish.

bullet Izorlines Flexx Rap and Rod Straps

izorwrap.jpg (45841 bytes)The folks at Izorline sure know what fishermen need.... 

Flexx-Rap, Izorlines finger protection wrap, is a very useful product.   Like their gloves, these help protect an angler from the common cuts associated with lipping a bass, leveling line, line cuts and blisters.  The material improves your grip, is waterproof and hypoallergenic.  Each roll is 1" wide and 5 yards long, enough to last a good long time. 

Buy It!  Flexx-Rap @$3.50 / roll

Izorline's Handy Straps are another useful accessory, no angler should be without.   These convenient velcro grip straps bundle and hold four rods with ease.  They were initially developed by Jim Lawerree while attending college and working as a deckhand for Russ Izor.  He was also a devoted fisherman and private boater.  Years back, Jim lost a toe via amputation while attending college.  He had a heck of a time lugging books around, let alone his favorite rods.  This was the motivation behind the Handy Straps Izorline has been selling for years.  Russ helped give Jim his start as a deck hand, and helped him get started with these straps as a hobby/business while he was employed with Hughes Aircraft in Southern Cal.  Jim passed away some years ago, and is deeply missed by Russ and the folks at Izorline.  But, the product he developed is still available, and still helping guys pack-up and go fishing.  That's not a bad legacy.

Buy It!  Handy Straps @$3.78

Cold Tuna Rod Tote
(aka The Sepoleator)

Here's an interesting variation on an old theme.  Lugging your rods and reels down to the boat is a pain in the keester.  Devices to make this drudgery easier are indeed essentials in my book.  While walking through the ICAST show last month Beth (the gal that makes things work at the shop) noticed these things and directed me to "bring 'em in." I usually do what she tells me.

The unique thing about this product is it's use of two foam inserts.  With the inserts there's no banging around and scratching of your precious rods.  Like my other favorite device of this type, the Izorline rod tote, it secures the rods at three points.  You can carry them, or put the strap across your shoulder for hands free operation.  They're a very good wrinkle on an essential theme.

Select Sepoleator @ $19.99

catch flag Fish'n Flags -  Okay, so it's bragging to some, but catch-flags are some fun I have to admit. They're almost a reason to mount outriggers on your boat all by themselves. I stock the full line of these high quality flags. They attach simply using their velcro line clip, which runs their entire width. That's a big improvement over the old style of flag that needed to be attached with clips. Flags are 15"x24", made from durable 200 Denier, oxford nylon, they're water repellent, lightweigt and tough.

  Down-Rigger Alternative  

planerFishing big salt water isn't like puttering around in a lake. It gets a lot deeper, rougher, and holds bigger fish, too. You have to make your offering available to the bitters, where ever they might be. That often means you need to work more of the water column for a bite. Downriggers can help you cover more of the water column and that can be a critical difference in achieving fishing success. I've got a downrigger and use the product when I'm targeting certain fish, like halibut or sometimes while sharking. I like using it a lot, but it can be a hassle to deploy, especially from a small boat. Often, I'll leave it home to save the space, only to wish later I'd had a way to get to the deeper fish. Well, here's an alternative which allows you to easily cover a lot more water and you'll have no excuse not to keep one of the rigs on the boat. The compact planer pack is one of more useful items you can buy!
To deploy, all you do is attach the poly line to a cleat, attach your line to the planner and let out both lines. Boom, you're done, that is until a fish hooks up. I'm most excited about using this product with a shallow or deep diving deployed planerplug. Instead of covering the top ten feet with a lure, you can be working 60 feet or better.

Planner Package includes planner, leader wheel, poly line, mono line, snap/swivels, rubber bands, all packed in a marine-safe bag to help keep things organized for quick deployment.

bulletChum-King

For the private boater the Chum-King has become the number one chumming and bait release product of it's kind on the market. It's a patented system that delivers bait to the zone you are trying to reach. In the past fishermen might hang a bucket from the side of the boat or slowly chunk and toss fish morsels off the stern. In time the bait might drop down and help initiate some feeding behavior. With the Chum-King you can drop your bait down to where the fish are instead of trying to draw them up to you. Setting up on structure? Drop the Chum-King down and release your fish attracting chum in a controlled fashion to keep the targeted fish species interested. Alternatively you can increase the "dump" of chum to trigger a highly aggressive frenzy response.

- Patented bait release mechanism
- Scientificallly-designed release mechanism to create an instand feeding response
- Sinks rapidly
- No cleaning required
- Prefessionally used for tuna, grouper, snapper, striped bass and many other fish species

There are two primary ways to use the Chum-King: Slow controlled chum release and Baitfish dump. To help you see the advantage of this type of release system please take a couple minutes time to view a video showing exactly how the product works. (video link

When chumming underwater, anglers must put their chum in some form of container.  When used as a Chummer What separates the Chum-King™ from all the others? It's the only chummer with a patented bait release system You get a prefect flow of chum every time! You DON'T have to clean it!

Use the Chum-King in place of a net, bag or cage
 

 

bullet

Before putting chum into the Chum-King, first put weights in the bottom weight chamber.

bullet

Fill the Chum-King™ with your favorite frozen or thawed chum and sink it.

bullet

You'll want to use a comfortable line 3/16 is fine. Use about 10 ft of extra line to make up for any slack.

bullet

Keep the Chum-King™ closed while chumming. There's enough holes and was designed to allow small pieces of chum to escape in the closed position See clip

bullet

Chum exactly like you would with a net, bag or cage. Instead of bringing a messy net back into your boat, simply open the Chum-King™ in the water to remove any excess chum.
You should never need a hose...it comes out that clean!!!!

bullet

Never deal with a dirty old bag, net or cage again!!!!

 

The ability to open the Chum-King™ underwater is what separates the Chum-King from every other Chummer. When you are releasing your contents from the Chum-King™ it's usually live or cut bait (not chum). If you want to put fish into a feeding frenzy, nothing is better than a free meal.  If you're going to release bait underwater it can't be anywhere, it must be where the fish feel comfortable eating. Many fish, like Stripers, Grouper, Snapper and even Tuna don't feed at the surface. With the Chum-King you can sink additional bait, release it where the fish are feeding and start the action going. Anyone familiar with using a paper bag technique will absolutely love the Chum-King™™

Create A Bait Bomb Underwater
 

 

bullet

Partially fill the Chum-King™ with cut bait, live bait, or chunks.

bullet

As a rule of thumb, use the same bait that you are using on your hook.

bullet

Sink it in the Closed Position.

bullet

When the time is right, give a tug on your line and Chum-King's™ patented bait release system 
will release your bait underwater putting the fish into a feeding frenzy!

We recommend removing the Chum-King™ from the water once you've released your bait.

Squid Light OPTRONICS Underwater Lighting - Squid Lights
Night-time fishing offers some real advantages when targeting certain species of fish. Without a doubt attracting baitfish to your boat is a big aid, since you'll draw in small organisms and the whole food chain they ultimately attract. In Southern California we've used these lights for great success to attract squid to the boat for use as bait (okay, sometimes calimari too). There's nothing like candy bait (squid) to attract a bite from a big white seabass or yellowtail. These lights are a must have for anyone targeting the squid, or for anyone trying to get a nighttime bite worked up into a frenzy. The lights offered feature a bright halogen bulb capable of 300,000 candle power!!! The rigs also have a built in rattle, magnifying lens, and battery clips. They are very bright, and reliable, with 15' cord/clips.
