Minneapolis, MN (April 29, 2019) – Mom loves fishing, hunting and the great outdoors. You love Mom. Mom will love you, too… if you present her with one or more of these great gifts for Mother’s Day that will increase her safety, success and satisfaction in the field.

Howard Leight Impact Sport Electronic Earmuff

Impact Sport’s internal circuitry allows low-frequency sounds to be safely amplified up to four times to a peak of 82dB, making it easy for Mom to hear range commands or approaching game and conduct conversation, even in noisy environments. Amplification automatically shuts off at 82dB, attenuating hazardous impulse noises from gunfire. Impact Sport features a sleek, extremely low profile earcup design with carefully engineered cutouts to help maintain clearance from the firearm stock. Lightweight and comfortable, Impact Sport incorporates a padded headband with vertical height adjustments for a secure, non-slip fit. When not in use, the headband and earcups fold for easy, compact storage. Durable, recessed microphones—one on each side—reduce wind noise while providing stereo sound. Impact Sport is also equipped with auto four-hour shutoff, an external 3.5mm AUX jack and an included cord for convenient connection to a phone, computer, MP3 player or scanner. Impact Sport retails for $67 and is available in eight colors, including purple, teal and pink. Learn more at HowardLeightShootingSports.com.

Gill OS24JW Rain Suit

Gill’s new OS24JW was designed and built to be the final word in on-the-water comfort for women. Advanced composite waterproof fabric featuring a combination of hydrophobic and hydrophilic technologies efficiently transport moisture away from the skin while keeping the wearer 100% protected from the elements. With a mostly female product design team, Gill created the OS24JW from the ground up. After extensive testing, this women’s jacket was created to keep you warm and dry on, off, or around the water. Features include fully tapered seams, laminated moisture-management fabric technology, a high, fleece-lined collar to keep the wind out, double adjustable cuffs for added water resistance and warmth, interior pockets for small items like a cell phone, GPS, etc., and a high-vis hood for added safety and visibility on the water. The jacket also features a 2-way zipper protected by a double storm guard, as well as hand warmer pockets protected by YKK Aquaguard® water resistant zips and internal security pocket. The bib technology also includes a specially designed drop seat for easy on and off capability. The OS24JW is available in Red, Graphite and White/Blue and is available in a wide variety of sizes to accommodate all female anglers. Bibs are a matching graphite colorway. Suggested retail price is $349.99 for the jacket and $239.99 for the bibs. 

Z-Man SlingBladeZ 

Z-Man consulted with expert metallurgists to construct the SlingBladeZ Spinnerbait (Double Willow and Willow/Colorado) with high-grade 17-7 stainless steel wire, delivering superior reverberation, strength and resiliency. Riding on the SlingBladeZ’s trademarked low-vis LiveWire frame, blades are stamped from custom dies and electroplated with a flashy, jeweler-quality finish. The blades offer a lower-frequency pitch that bass hear best, vibrating harder and swinging wider on the retrieve. Z-Man’s StabiliTrack head channels water across the underside of the bait and along special side flanges for total stability at all retrieve speeds. The lure is finished with a 5/0 VMC O’Shaughnessy hook for improved hooksets and a wire trailer keeper. A 100-percent silicone skirt adheres tightly to the lure’s head with hand-tied copper wire for superior durability and longevity. Offered in double-willow leaf or tandem willow-Colorado blades and 3/8-, ½- and ¾-ounce (MSRP $7.99 or $8.99), each available in eight dynamic color patterns. www.zmanfishing.com.

LIVETARGET Hollow Body Craw

Available in stores, LIVETARGET’s Hollow Body Craw is a paradigm-shifting blend of critical elements from two distinct lure families—bass jigs and hollow body topwaters. The result is a must-cast lure for both largemouth and smallmouth bass. Its revolutionary design features amazing three-dimensional anatomy, rendering it superior to traditional bass jigs. The lure’s hollow head and cephalothorax anchor a snag-resistant design, and together with its extra strong custom hook, provide exceptional hookup ratios. The hook eyelet protrudes from the top of the slightly curved abdomen, orienting any retrieve the way nature intended, with the craw moving in reverse—head, pincers, antennae, and silicone skirt flared up just like a fleeing or defensive craw. Additionally, the internal jig head weight produces the tapping, clicking, and clacking that attracts bass from afar. The LIVETARGET Hollow Body Crawfish is available in three lengths and weights and eight bio-realistic color schemes, allowing Mom to Match-the-HatchTM in any bass waters she fishes. MSRP: $9.99-$11.49. If Mom fishes the salt, be sure to check out the LIVETARGET Fleeing Shrimp. Learn more at LIVETARGETLURES.com.

Borrowing features from both the feature-rich Pro Angler and sleek Compass models, Hobie designed a kayak that hits all the marks for the angler looking for features and portability. Outback delivers forward and reverse with easy pedaling Mirage 180 Drive ARC cranks. Great for bed loading and car topping, the Outback allows Mom to be nimble and mobile without giving up features.
