New Technical Tools for Advanced Anglers by Berkley (continued)
EraseTM Odor
Killer:
Berkley spends millions of dollars studying fish senses to produce the right
scent for their baits as we have witnessed with PowerBait and Gulp!, and the scientists
there know how to eliminate it as well, and we're not talking about removing
those scents that fish like but of those that are on our hands that repel fish.
Introducing the Berkeley TEC Erase Odor Killer.
“A fish’s nose is highly
acute to its surroundings, and eliminating foreign odors is key to catching more
fish,” said John Prochnow, Berkley scientist. “The new Berkley TEC Erase Odor
Killer gets rid of chemicals that are transferred to lures. The main goal is to
catch more fish, and eliminating offensive odors is one step that shouldn’t be
missed.”
Introducing
the scent remover... Berkley's Erase Odor Killer
Handling fish can be a
messy venture, but TEC Erase Odor Killer also cleans as well as eliminates the
fish odor that builds up when handling fish. TEC Erase Odor Killer is safe on
hands, tackle and line. Packaged in a convenient dispensing squeeze bottle, TEC
Erase Odor Killer stores easily and reduces the need for multiple cleaning
agents. A 6-oz bottle of the Erase Order Killer can be bought for only $9.95.
TEC Multi-Pliers:
Whether it is cleaning
out jig eyes, pinching split shots or cutting wire and line, it is difficult to
find one pair of pliers that is great for all these tasks. Berkley has it
covered with Berkley® TEC™ MultiPliers available in Long Nose or Split Ring
options.

Pure Fishing shows us all the new TEC tools
Conclusion: The TEC tools are designed to
be extremely high quality and above all truly functional. These are not just any tools but
ones that go one step beyond to add value through improved ergonomics or
ingenious features. For instance the new Multi-Pliers, not just another me-too
design, but a multi-tool in it's own right. And
there's the Magnum Xpress line stripper, the fastest line stripper on the market
that can remove 300 yards of line in a lightning fast 40 seconds. Berkley has
once again impressed us with their new TEC series, which are much more than simple tools, but
rather technically advanced solutions for the skilled angler.
