Boker USA sent two Gnome compact knives for the Brownlee Crappie Shootout III. These portable knives are made with 44OC Stainless Steel Blades and Micarta handles. They come with leather sheath and clip and can be carried in waist band, pocket or boot. These are small knives with big attitude. Thank you Boker for the cool donation.

Reel Grip sent two boxes of their Grips for the event this year. If you fish all day, you will appreciate this product. Their custom slip on Grips are designed to increase traction, comfort and ergonomics to all of your reel handles. They make Grips to fit most reels and they also look pretty cool. Thanks for the donation Angelo. Visit www.reelgrip.com to see their full line of products.

Dakota Lithium will be sending a 12V Lithium Battery for the BCSIII. Originally selling electric bike conversion kits as Clean Republic, Dakota Lithium was started to focus on producing the highest quality Lithium Batteries in the industry. Their Batteries are light weight, affordable, and will run your electronics longer than other batteries. I fish with several people that run Dakota Lithium Batteries and they are really impressed by their performance. Dakota is really building a following in the kayak fishing community. Thank you for the great donation Beau and Brad. Check their specs at  www.dakotalithiumbattery.com

Bakke Brothers Brand Jerky sent an assorted box full of their trial size beef jerky packs. When a power bar doesn't satify your hunger while on the water, Bakke Brothers Jerky is a great way to get some protein energy for a long day of fishing. I had a chance to sample some of their products at the NW Sportsman's show and really enjoyed the flavor of everything they had to offer. Coming in kayak ready waterproof packs and being made locally are a couple of other great reasons to try their goods. Thank you for the donation Jerry. Look for Bakke Brothers Jerky in local shops or online at www.bakkebrothers.com/bakke-brothers-brand

Grape Solar, Inc. sent a Go Charger 8 and a Slate rechargeable battery for the Brownlee Crappie Shootout III.

Next Adventure sent a whole bunch of gear for the Brownlee Crappie Shootout III captains bags. I won't reveal what exactly but if you were one of the first 25 to sign up you will be happy you did. Located in downtown Portland, Next is the Go To shop in the Pacific Northwest. I have shopped and rented gear from them in the past and was always impressed with the staff knowledge and the huge selection of gear they offer. I have even become friends with a few members while out on the water. Thank you CJ for the awesome donation. Gear up for your Next Adventure at https://nextadventure.net/
