Few things are more disappointing for a hunter than making a shot and not coming home with the trophy because the blood trail was lost. Foliage, fading light and other factors all play a big role in losing a blood trail. That’s why NEBO’s IllumaTrace Blood Tracker Headlamp is a good tool to have. The IllumaTrace, designed to be the most advanced headlamp for hands-free animal recovery, revolutionizes blood trail detection. An 800-lumen white light offers general illumination. Three adaptive strobe rates with three blood tracking modes fine-tune blood visibility across various terrains and backgrounds. The impact- and water-resistant aluminum headlamp is powered by NEBO’s BackBalance Fit, for a more comfortable fit, with little to no bounce while moving. The headlamp operates on a rechargeable battery or two CR123A disposable batteries. The IllumaTrace is an essential tool hunters can depend on. MSRP is $69.99.

Swimbaits have proven that a carefree, essentially lethargic motion can trigger massive strikes. They work on freshwater bass and inshore fish. However, in saltwater, a pack of soft plastic swimbait bodies might not get you through the morning, because they get shredded and must be replaced. Daiwa’s new, sinking Lazy Fashad 100S features laser impact technology and subtle-slalom-swim in a saltwater-grade twitchbait. The 4-inch lure puts the personality of a swimbait in a saltwater-grade twitchbait. Features include upgraded BKK saltwater-grade hooks, a durable ABS plastic body with a prism that captures and reflects light 360 degrees. The slow sinking lure can be lowered anywhere in the water column before engaging. Once in motion, it dives up to 3 feet, depending on the retrieve speed and line thickness. The Lazy Fashad 100S come in Chart Head Mullet, Chart Head Sardine, Blue Pink, Red Head and Max Laser colors. MSRP is $24.99. Visit daiwa.us/products/25-fashad or call 1 (562) 375-6800.
