Bradley Smart Smoker®

With the new innovative iSmoke® Technology, you can now control the smoker from Bluetooth-enabled smartphones in real time and from the touch screen control center. The 40% larger smokehouse now gives you space for 10 racks of food. Two removable colour-coded temperature probes allow you to measure heat in different areas of the smokehouse simultaneously. The fully insulated stainless steel interior and commercial grade silicone door seal makes for easy clean-up and keeps the smoke where it’s supposed to be. Comes with four adjustable feet, two optional wheels, six racks and a recipe booklet.

Softscience Shoes

SoftScience has some pretty impressive footwear. Incredibly comfortable, they feature a removable, washable insole and a slip-resistant outsole that won’t mark decks. Designed for life around the water, SoftScience takes boating and fishing footwear to a new level. At the core of the shoes’ construction is a proprietary material called Trileon—a closed-cell copolymer that allows the shoes to be lightweight, supportive and superbly cushioned.

Tucket Giller

Tucket Footwear was launched to the fishing community at ICast 2016. The response was overwhelming. The Giller model was designed to get wet. It is super water repellant. It is the fastest draining shoe shoe with 24 drain holes. It dries fast. It is slip resistant and the material even meets OSHA standards for grip. Very comfortable as the foot bed is made of EVA ...same as most running shoes. It is also very affordable. Fishing and boating guys love it. Made in the USA.
