As temperatures continue to plummet across the country, many people are panicking and reaching for parkas, but ice fishermen in the Midwest and northern states are grinning with excitement about what this winter has to offer. has to offer. Ice anglers know that a good tackle can bring about a great day of ice fishing and can withstand the harsh conditions associated with ice fishing. That’s why they look to Al’s lures, which have been a staple on harsh winter waters for over 70 years.

The original lure the company started with and remains one of the most popular in their line, the Al’s Goldfish is a spoon that when moved reflects light and shines throughout the water. This popular lure has proven its worth for seventy years and is still a modern staple in every ice angler’s tackle box. Its proven versatility to catch a wide variety of fish is also why it has been on several lists of the best fishing lures of all time. The Goldfish Ice Jig is a 3/16 oz. lure body mounted with a single hook in the nose. The lure comes with an optional red flasher tab and is available in a wide range of colors for all angling opportunities.

Resembling a hellgrammite, Al’s Helgy is 1-3/4 inches long and weighs 1/4 oz. It is plated with 22k gold, nickel or copper and comes in a variety of painted colors. Al’s Helgy flutters on the drop when moving, making it a good scoop for traversing ice. The ice fishing version of Al’s Helgy comes with a glow-in-the-dark nose for added attraction.

Another Al lure that has proven effective and is quite a popular choice with ice anglers is Al’s Forty Niner, which comes in two versions. The original Forty Niner, weighing in at 5/16 oz. and measuring 2 ¼ inches long, it is effective for targeting walleye and other larger species. The smallest version, the Lil’ 49er, weighs ¼ ounce and is 1 ¾-inch long, making it a staple for bass, trout, and panfish. The design of these lures creates a rather erratic action when activated, encouraging you to look at your fish finder waiting for the next attack.

If you like Al’s icing stencil selection option, Al’s offers the option to build your own glow kit that comes with four icing stencils of your choice. Glow-in-the-dark paint can be a key feature for ice fishing, as ice makes the water much darker (especially on cloudy days). This kit is a great option to test each jig and find which one you like best and works best for your target fish, or you may like them all equally.

All of Al’s lure products are proudly made in the United States. To order or learn more about Al’s Goldfish Lure Company, visit www.alsgoldfish.com or call 413-543-1524 and they will be happy to assist you.

Grab your rod and Al’s lures and get ready for a fun and eventful day on the ice!

Along the way, other popular lures, such as the Forty-Niner and Helgy, and hook-bonnet lure accessories were added to the company’s list of American-made products. In 2015 the line was expanded to include the Saltwater Goldfish series. In 2022, current owners Jeff and Mandy DeBuigne celebrated the 70th anniversary of the Goldfish lure.

MADISON, Wisconsin. – The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) announced today that the application period for Wisconsin Wild Turkey, Pheasant and Waterfowl Stamp funding is now open and will run through February 10. of 2023.

Stamp funds are available to nonprofit conservation organizations, tribes, and government organizations focused on the development, management, preservation, restoration, and maintenance of habitats that will benefit wild turkeys, pheasants, and waterfowl. Funding for successful applicants will be available during fiscal years 2024 and 2025 (July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2026).

Annual wildlife stamp revenues average $650,000 for pheasants, $750,000 for wild turkeys, and $900,000 for waterfowl. Funds are generated from the sale of state wild turkey, pheasant and waterfowl stamps, as well as a portion of conservation sponsor license sales. While stamps are required to hunt these species, collectors and nature enthusiasts also purchase the stamps to help maintain wildlife habitat.

“Wisconsin’s wildlife stamp programs have been a cornerstone of conservation funding in Wisconsin for more than 40 years. We encourage conservation partners to apply and compete for funding through these grant programs to provide quality habitat for populations of game birds and other wildlife,” said Jason Fleener, DNR wetland habitat specialist. .

Through state law, 60% of pheasant stamp funds are set aside for pheasant production on game farms, while 33% of waterfowl stamp funds are set aside for habitat projects in Canada , where a significant proportion of Wisconsin’s fall ducks nest and raise young. Non-profit organizations interested in doing work on waterfowl habitats in Canada must request a special application form from the DNR.

Game processing kits are as varied as they are extensive. For many hunters, packing both light and minimal is essential for success. This is especially true when game needs to be broken up in the field, which will be brought back to the hunting camp.

An essential set of tools is a processing kit. These kits have everything needed to gut, cut, and saw a freshly harvested deer, elk, antelope, or similar game. But these kits have a lot of separate tools that take up vital space. True Knives aims to solve that problem with the Swift Edge Gaming Processing Kit.

A complete Swift Edge Hunt Processing Kit consists of seven essential tools using the Swift Edge quick change system. There is a 4-inch gut hook, 6-inch fillet blade, 8-inch cleaver blade, and 8-inch bone saw. All of these independent blades fit into the Swift Edge thermoplastic rubber handle designed for use in wet environments that require a firm grip. The hook, fillet and butcher knives are made of 5Cr13 steel finished in titanium nitrate. The bone saw is made from 65Mn steel for strength and wear resistance, while still having a titanium nitrate finish.

As with all Swift Edge knives, the blades can be changed using the patented 2-step process. This includes toggling the switch on the rear of the handle and depressing the blade release. To install, insert the new blade until the release snaps into place. The handle is also compatible with all lengths of the Fillet Kit. The handle has an integrated lanyard and carabiner.

A molded plastic sheath is included with the 6-inch fillet blade. In addition to a molded plastic clip, a sharpening rod is incorporated into the design. Each item can be stored in an included nylon storage wrap. This reduces both the size of the items and the locations in which each tool can be stored.

It’s easy to see why a versatile and compact kit is essential for a hunter. The entire hunting processing kit saves space by using the Swift Edge system. The nylon storage roll provides an easy-to-carry solution. This kit can be easily stored in a backpack, ammo box, car, small plane, or utility vehicle.

Built for the most harsh corners of the earth: Fully seam-sealed, insulated 3L waterproof outerwear with America’s first 800+ down fill

FORLOH (https://forloh.com), the 100% Made in America technical outdoor brand, today introduces the Expedition Series, a collection of 3-layer, fully seam-sealed, waterproof clothing featuring the first 800 + fill USA down, setting a new standard for extreme weather technical apparel. FORLOH presents the Expedition series with a jacket for men and a parka for women.

Built for extreme cold and the most habitable corners of the Earth, the Expedition series was first conceived during a visit to Greenland, where FORLOH supports weather stations conducting critical climate science. Extreme weather, including rapidly changing precipitation levels and bitter cold, led the FORLOH team on a mission to design the best waterproof down clothing.

This didn’t exist, so we challenged the Downlite Outdoor team and they delivered, creating a new process to make it happen. The Expedition is extreme enough for Everest, yet comfortable enough for a Chicago winter storm.”

Every aspect of Expedition is designed to maximize warmth, comfort, and temperature regulation. The liner is an engineered pattern, with each baffle strategically weighted based on the location and corresponding temperature needs of the human body. The collection also features the first of its kind 800+ 90/10 fill power 800+ US down, the first of its kind, a breakthrough in down technology developed in partnership between FORLOH and Downlite Outdoor. . The 3-layer shell is fully seam-sealed, waterproof, breathable and lightweight, designed to maximize durability while being militarily tested for stealth.

The Expedition series is 100% made and sourced in the USA and comes with a lifetime warranty and satisfaction guarantee.

The new Expedition jacket and parka are available at https://forloh.com and at FORLOH’s Whitefish, Mont. and Austin, Texas retail stores. Color combinations include Fiery Red/Magnet interior; Snowfall/Snowfall Interior; Magnet/snowfall interior; Black/black interior.
