It’s early and only the frogs crocking in the distance can be heard. Winter’s cold months are long behind and a warm southern breeze can be felt. It’s the best time of the year for fishing. Bass are shallow, up spawning in small pockets and coves everywhere on the lake. Its mornings like this you savor after working so hard during the week. Pausing a moment before taking off on plane to your favorite honey hole you kick back and prop up your feet. It’s really satisfying. Everything feels so good, so good; even your feet in the Shimano Evair fishing shoes.

I don’t know why there is no sun up in the sky; Frabill FXE weather. I know its spring, but this is downright ridiculous. A couple more days and I had better start building an ark. Every day it has been raining; so every day, I put on my Frabill FXE Stormsuit Jacket and Frabill FXE Stormsuit Bib to stay dry and warm. Read more on the Frabill FXE Stormsuit... |

My hands aren’t cold as ice. Not as cold as you think. They are really nice and toasty. Even after being outside in the freezing cold weather, but the fishing has never been any better so I’m not stopping…no matter how cold it gets. Now it’s raining turning to sleet. Everything’s turning in to ice sickles, but not my hands. It’s like ice fishing…really ice fishing.
Being out fishing in the hot summer sun can take a toll on your skin. When you are young, you never think about the consequences of exposure to the sun. No one wants to think how the sun’s ultraviolet light can sag, stretch, or lose its elastic, but anglers can protect themselves from harmful ultraviolet rays by wearing appropriate clothing. Although well-known for its line of premium sunglasses Flying Fisherman saw the need for protective headwear they just came out with the SunBandit. The SunBandit is a UV protective garment for anglers to wear while out fishing.
Its summertime and deep in the heart of Texas, I can feel the sun’s rays beating down on me. It’s hot! There isn’t a breath of wind blowing. Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea. FLW Tour Pro Joe Nech had invited me down to fish on his home lake and I couldn’t pass it up. Of course Nech’s home lake is Lake Fork in Texas. That’s right Lake Fork. Where largemouth bass grow to monstrous sizes and bite all year long if you can take the heat during the summer months. As I pull up Nech has a surprise for me. It’s not a new lure or a handful of Nech Wilderness spoons. No, it’s a hat on his head. It looks like one of those hats they wear in the desert. “What’s up with the hat Joe?” I ask. “I could tell you about it, but I am going to show you instead; it won’t take long for you to see why I love wearing it,” Nech replied. It wasn’t going to be long before I found out why Nech likes wearing his Glacier Outdoor Mojave Hat.
Apparel for anglers has come a long ways. In the past, anglers would bundle up with bulky clothing to stay warm. If it rained, an angler would have to try and fit their rain suit over their clothes to stay dry, but since none of the clothing was breathable they would be sweating inside getting clammy and cold. Today, anglers dress in layers with high tech clothing to stay warm and dry. It all started with Frabill, a well-known fishing manufacture, decided to become a force in fishing apparel. Not only did they become a force, Frabill set the standard in high quality and technological advanced apparel. In fact, Frabill won the “Best New Apparel” at ICAST the last two years in a row. The Frabill FXE Windproof Fleece Jacket is part of their angler control system of layering with the Frabill Suit where anglers can wear more or less clothes depending on the outside temperatures and activity level.
Some things gotta be wrong; my hands are just feeling way too damn good. I mean its freezing outside and my fingers are not cold. Its winter again and the northern winds are blasting us with below freezing temperatures. Great for anglers dying to get out and ice fish, but brutal on southern boys wanting to get out in the bass boat and fish for trophy sized smallmouth or giant largemouth that come out once the water cools off. Of course the freezing temperatures keep the jet skis and wake boarders off the lake, but it comes at a cost. You got to wear gloves to unload the boat, drive the boat down the lake, and have them on when fishing. It takes a good fitting, ergonomic engineered glove or you just won’t wear them. The consequence of not wearing gloves range from having cool fingers to frost bite. Neither one is pleasant. Frabill FXE Task Gloves was designed just for the angler; anglers wearing them getting to their fishing spot and while fishing.
It’s just another day out fishing, but the wear and tear is beginning to show on your hands. If you had only known what they know now about the effects of harmful UV rays and sun burning your skin. The exposure over the years has made your skin tough with sun spots to boot. Now you wish you would have saved your hands from the damaging sun’s rays, but you just can’t stop going outside or fishing. So you search for an answer. Something you can wear to cover your hands. Regular jersey gloves are too hot to wear in the summer months and you can’t feel when you get a bite. You need gloves intended just for anglers like Dr. Shade 50+ UPF Sun Protection Gloves by Glacier Outdoor. Dr. Shade Glacier Outdoor Sun Protection Gloves were designed to fit comfortable and extend your time outside without allowing the harmful exposure to the sun’s rays.
The old saying is cold hand, warm heart. Not in my boat because cold hands are a thing of the past. I have a new pair of gloves from Frabill, the new Frabill FXE Snosuit Task Glove. It was designed to complement the Frabill FXE Snosuit bibs and parka. Of course the Frabill FXE (Frabill Extreme Elements) Snosuit bibs, parka, and Task glove was designed for ice fishing, but anglers anywhere can appreciate staying warm anytime it’s cold out.
