We figured a company featuring a Bobwhite in their logo must know a little something about upland hunting. And it turns out we were right.

The Sage One Fly Rod and 4250 Reel combo ($995) and a handful of flies gave us everything we needed to chase fish…
Lightweight, made in America by a family-owned business, easy to use with both knives and game shears. What’s not to like about Tony’s Sharpener? Did I mention it’s available in an array of cool colors and can include a leather cover or just throw the naked version straight in your bird vest — $15.
Yep I keep one in the truck.
