Fresh- and saltwater plugs have 3-D laser eyes, a weight-transfer design for tumble-free casting, and premium VMC cutpoint hooks. X-coded models have a reflective holographic finish that makes them look realistically transparent. Price: $4.99¿¿¿$9.99. From Bimini Bay Outfitters Performance Products 800-688-3481.-Ken Schultz
Quick Read Some fishing accessories are worth their weight in gold. Rapala’s Sportsman’s digital scales certainly fit into that category. Available in 15- and 50-pound models, the scales offer a large digital display, a four-minute-shutoff function, and a tare-weight feature that deducts the weight of a bag or net. A single 9-volt battery powers 500 hours of operation. About $30. 952-933-7060; www.rapala.com.-Daria Gionta
