Work Sharp Knife Sharpeners
After a successful day on the water, filleting a cooler full of fish is easier with a razor-sharp knife. Work Sharp, a leading manufacturer of knife and tool sharpeners, released the EDC Pivot Pro knife sharpener, one of five new value-priced manual sharpeners for 2020 to help keep a keen edge on your filleting knife when needed the most. The EDC Pivot Pro is equipped with multiple sharpening and honing systems. Its exclusive convex carbide sharpener quickly creates a convex edge, noted for superior edge retention. The carbide sharpeners use a technology called the Pivot Response – unlocked, the carbides follow the curve of the blade to quickly restore a dull edge; or locked in place, it removes less steel for a quick touch-up. A few finishing passes through its ceramic rods restores a blade to factory sharpness. In addition to knives, the EDC Pivot Pro sharpens scissors, axes, pruners and more.

Power Pole CHARGE
The Power Pole CHARGE is an advanced power management system that does the work of three devices – a traditional battery charger, a charge-on-the-run and an emergency start system – all in one compact unit. CHARGE monitors power use and puts power where it’s needed most. It’s the first bi-directional power management system that automatically moves power from battery to battery to maintain cranking and trolling motor batteries. The ability to monitor trolling motor power levels is key to spending more time on the water. CHARGE displays battery voltage and status data on a smart phone, or SIMRAD or Lowrance MFD (with CM2 Gateway). At home, CHARGE uses float mode to keep batteries topped up. On the water, it charges from the alternator while the motor is running. CHARGE works with all battery types and includes a built-in emergency power transfer feature.
