A look at the HOTTEST outdoor gear for 2010.

Throughout the year we will be testing and reviewing products that are new to the industry or have seemed to be overlooked. We will put these products to the test making sure they do their job, so you can do yours.

Tru Tungsten 4 Inch Swimbait

This pint-size version of the original large Tru-Tungsten Tru-Life Swimbait comes equipped with two tungsten balls that let you adjust the sink rate by adding one or both. The Tru-Life Swimbaits' 4-segment jointed body with lifelike features and paint schemes produces a very enticing lifelike swimming motion that bass and other gamefish can't refuse. See your local Bass Pro Store or order online at www.basspro.com or www.tru-tungsten.com.

Solar Bat Speed

Dr. Nesty, optometrist, enlisted the assistance of pro fishermen Rick Clunn and Stacey King to design a line of polarized glasses. These sunglass frames are lightweight yet rugged, and have all the features fishermen need. The Mossback® lens tint is a Solar Bat exclusive, and unsurpassed for sight fishing. Sunglasses come with case and limited warranty.

Solar Bat's versatile Polarized Speed Sunglasses can be worn with the TCG grip temples as a sunglass or snap the temples off, snap on the elastic headband, and insert the foam eyewire to wear as a goggle. Average to large fit.

Noctular® PNV Lenses: Dr. Nesty prescribed a special vision-enhancing component in the design of these optically perfect lenses The Nocturnal® PNV material is 70% lighter than glass, 10 times more impact resistant than glass, with a scratch resistant coating on the front and back surfaces. Lenses actually improve vision by eliminating all glare and all levels of UV rays.

Solar Bat Noctular® PNV Tint Guide:
Gray: filters all colors equally.
Amber: highlights browns and filters out blue light. Good for flat light conditions.
Mossback® highlights green and bleaches out brown so green is more visible.

HiConY: high contrast lens for low light levels also great for sight fishing in tannic water.
