NRS has brought even more great gear for kayak anglers for 2017. We checked out the highlights at OR 2016. Our favorite addition is NRS new Ambush Tackle Bag. Thinking outside the box, NRS made with a vinyl outer to be waterproof. The waterproof zipper opens with one hand and the bag secures to the kayak with four D-rings. Three rod vertical rod holders keep sticks high and dry. A pocket in the front is easy to reach. The top opens to reveal a spacious area that holds a half dozen tackle trays and removable and customizable dividers. The soft outer is supported by rigid inserts. I like the carry handle that makes it easy to transport the Ambush from the kayak to the car to the garage for easy loading.
We also loved the new Varial sunshirt. I’ve been wearing sunshirts with a hood and a neck gator for over a year. Now, the Varial makes it possible to combine the hood and the integrated neck gator in one shirt. The material is lighter than rashguard and UPF 50 and breathable. It has a loose fit and dries quickly. I really dig the digital camo.
