13 Fishing has a new reel coming out called the Blackbetty Freefall

I'm just guessing on this but I am pretty confident that Clam will have a new float suit as well since they hired Sean Knodt last year who was an instrumental player in Striker Ice clothing.  You would think if they hire an experience apparel guy that you would see new apparel come out but who knows......

@3300 seen those when I poked my head in there last time..

@lyontyl the 13 fishing sound like a start for me looking at reel might try in line will see though..
 
@hard water diehard also wondering how those lithium ion augers will last this go round ...last I heard there was recalls on some cause of a switch???

Also we all wish for that Marcum rt9 w/ gps  but as they say you can wish in one hand crap in another and see which gets filled first... it been seeming with Marcum  there a great fish finder  there just not first to throw stuff out there I think there r&d is better then say lowrance units and will stand up better then them but there slow putting stuff out .. which like said give them time to work there bugs  and is a good thing...

@chilly-willy I believe StrikeMaster recalled all the Lithium Units before the beginning of last ice season ..and I think they repaired them and sold them as reconditioned units . As far as I recall all units sold for the 2015/2016 were just fine .

On the striker suits only little non noticeable up grades ,  , but they now will have a snow camo  , some changes in sweat shirts and so on , and it's rumored they might come out with some foot wear next year ,

Two things I'm most excited for have been covered:

-New Black Betty FreeFall
-New Northland Ice Plastics

I'm especially looking forward to the new 'cup' design Northland released for the plastics. Not only are they in 20 packs now which will cut down on my orders vs. carrying the 10 packs, it should keep plastics in much better condition. I wasn't a huge fan of those tiny bags - small tails would get cut or bent from time to time.

Looks like they also re-released the Gill-Getter and Mud Bug in the Bro line-up with slight design tweaks but definitely a re-done color lineup. Full Northland catalog here:

Marcum has (2) new cameras

http://www.rapala.com/marcum/underwater-fishing-cameras/underwater-cameras/recon-5-plus-underwater-viewing-system/RC5P.html?cgid=marcum-underwaterCameras-underwaterCameras&start=4

http://www.rapala.com/marcum/underwater-fishing-cameras/underwater-cameras/recon-5-underwater-viewing-system/RC5.html?cgid=marcum-underwaterCameras-underwaterCameras&start=5

looks like they copy cat the auqua-vu for their recon cameras. they have infrared and bright white led option tho, so if i go with a pocket camera, this will be the one to use.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

http://www.rapala.com/marcum/gps-sonar-camera/?id=10

glad to see it back in the market.

the camera module is a hefty price being they sell the replacement cameras for 250$ for their older cameras with the same specs.
same goes for the transducer for ice any way, replacement cost is only 100$ for their top sonars.

maybe they decided not to have the internals for each built into the head unit like their sonars and camera packs have. for the price of the tablet/head unit, it should be incorporated to reduce costs of the modules.

Looks great, but sure is expensive for an ice sonar, even if it is a combo.

Bingo even though they make great products I think any thing over a grands is a waste of money unless it transpertation on to the ice or two and from the ice.. or some thing to sleep in on or off the ice..most guys thats over a week pay check.. makes me wonder who they are targeting for the price point..like the guys that buy those $30,000 ice shacks.. of course you sell few and make less on those then ones costing 200 to 300 dollars x 10,000 of them.. that's not a good move by a company honestly .. but maybe they got the money and tIme

 to waste on the r&d...hay it not my decesion but seems there targeting connissuer's  and not the people who ice fish often??  Which is not good .. if you think about it??

Most tech innovation does not come from the lowest priced units, It come from the latest developments. My first pc came with a 40 meg hard drive, and was 3000 dollars. when other companies copy the tech or try to keep up, the prices come down, some people can afford to buy and some cant. the marketing people feel they can sell enough, and besides that makes for great buys for us on 1 yr old equipment when a new gadget comes out.

I can't disclose any thing yet but can give hints. there is going to be a fair amount of new items and one real game changer in my opinion that is coming out. I can talk more about the new products after August 25th. let's just say start saving your pennies because there is some good stuff coming out this year.

I would have to check but I believe Clam doesn't go to I cast. the Pro Staff was told not to give details until after August 25th. this is the start of the Minnesota State Fair and the new products are going to be on display for the first time there. the new online catalog also goes live that day.
