20/20 Magnetic Tippet Threader
Price: $7.49
Threading a fly has never been easier thanks to the Magnetic Tippet Threader. Even the most traditional fisherman can benefit from this nifty gadget. The magnet automatically puts the hook into place, then the user simply points the end of the tippet into the groove and the magnetic threader directs it right through the eye, holding your fly in the correct position. Very useful in cold weather and for night fishing, the magnetic threader works on beadhead flies and includes a D-Ring clip to attach easily to a lanyard or zinger.
ZeeBaas SurfEdge Knife
Price: $150
The active surf fisherman is not fully equipped without a good knife. The SurfEdge made from aero-space components is 100 percent corrosion-resistant and uses the top stainless steel for saltwater use. One of the unique features about this knife is that there is a small blade on the top of the knife designed to cut braid. Even when the knife is closed this small blade can still be accessed, so you can cut line even when the knife is in the closed position.

iPilot
Price: $399 (remote only) | $1,379.99 (with motor)
Minn Kota's iPilot is a revolutionary trolling motor control system which utilizes GPS technology to automatically navigate and position the boat for anglers. The iPilot works by recording the boat's path, which can be as long as 2 miles. It stores the information so the boat can retrace its tracks to return to a precise location.
The iPilot can store up to 3 different tracks and amazingly, can automatically correct wind, drifts, waves and currents so you're never off course. As simple as pressing play, the motor automatically steers the boat along the identical path.
