It makes no difference if it’s modern synthetic fabric or traditional cotton duck, seams are a common place for leaks to occur. But with Iosso’s Premium Seam Sealer, it’s simple to add an invisible waterproof barrier to stitched areas without altering the fabric’s color or feel. Using a revised formula, Premium Seam Sealer includes a UV inhibitor to protect thread from extreme 24/7 exposure. Plus, it contains no silicone or PFAS, making it safer for people and the environment. Iosso Premium Seam Sealer prevents leaks on natural, synthetic and blended fabrics. With the correct seam construction, it’s even effective on vinyl-coated and vinyl laminate materials, making it ideal for boats, RVs, tents and campground and patio equipment. Premium Seam Sealer is invisible and easy to use. Simply run the sponge applicator tip along both sides of the stitching and allow to dry for 24 hours. One 4-ounce bottle covers about 50 feet. MSRP is $12.95. Visit www.iosso.com, email iossoproducts@iosso.com, or call (888) 747-4332.
Northland pro and jig maestro, Tom Huynh, maybe the best jig fisherman on the walleye tournament circuit. A recent victory at Bass Pro Shops/Cabela’s National Walleye Tour on Lake Huron netted him $132,069 in cash, a 2024 Ranger boat and some Garmin electronics and trolling motor. Huynh credits a Northland Tungsten Jig for the win. Lake Huron is a clear to slightly colored lake, but during the tournament, the wind howled in the south basin, creating turbid water, an advantage for a jig fisherman in expansive flats in 25 to 32 feet of water. Huynh got’em on a black 3/8-ounce Northland Tungsten Jig and a large, whole nightcrawler. Made from heavyweight tungsten, the jig head is 30% denser than lead, hence smaller and more sensitive. It sports a sticky-sharp Mustad Ultra-Point Hook and transmits every subtlety of the bottom and the slightest fish bump or bite immediately. Jeweled, red T eyes serve to attract visual feeders. The Tungsten Jig is available in three sizes —1/8-, 1/4-, and 3/8-ounce with size 1/0, 2/0, and 3/0 hooks – and 10 colors. MSRP is $7.99. Visit northlandtackle.com.

Earlier this year, Federal Ammunition launched a ground-breaking long-action hunting cartridge – the 7mm Backcountry – that raises the bar for what a non-magnum, centerfire rifle hunting cartridge can do. The Peak Alloy, one-piece, high-strength case provides magnum performance in a standard bolt rifle with a 20-inch barrel. Five initial loads were offered: 155- and 170-grain Federal Premium Terminal Ascent, 195-grain Federal Premium Berger Elite Hunter, 168-grain Federal Premium Barnes LRX Copper, and 175-grain Federal Fusion Tipped. These flat-shooting, heavy-for-caliber bullets offer the optimal range of options between sleekness and energy, touting high ballistic coefficients. Federal’s 7mm Backcountry reinvents modern ammunition, according to Federal. But achieving this is nothing without the tools to put it to use. Federal worked with many major gun manufacturers while developing the 7mm Backcountry, and those manufacturers now offer multiple rifles chambered for the new cartridge. Savage, for example, is offering eight different styles of its Model 110 in 7mm Backcountry, including the Ultralite Elite, Pro Pursuit, Ultralite, Timberline and Trial Hunter with MSRPs ranging from $3,299 to $669. Visit savagearms.com. Federal’s 7mm Backcountry ammo MSRP is $62.99 to $81.99 per 20-round box. Visit www.federalpremium.com or call (800) 831-8100.
