Gearhead

Here are some great new gear items.

Fish-On $18; 877.234.7466, www.tempress.com

You have a small boat. You love to fish. Fishing is thirsty work. What to do? Where to put everything? Try the Tempress Fish-On Cup Holder with Rod Mount. It fits into popular side-mounted rodholders and allows you to safely store your beverage while working your rod. Its gyroscope motion stabilizes a stored cup in rough waters. Install it on a flat vertical surface or to a 7⁄8″ or 1″ rail. When it’s placed you won’t have to worry about dropping your drink in the drink when the big one bites.

BioShrink Shrinkwrap $240; 800.968.5147, www.dr-shrink.com

You want to protect your boat from the elements so you shrinkwrap it. But come spring, you discover that mold and mildew wormed their way in.

The cover is environmentally friendly, and the company sponsors a recycling program for shrinkwrap. It’s sold in 8ml rolls measuring 20′ by 100′.
