Have you got a keen little fish-o that loves spending time at the wharf? For many Kiwis, this is our first memory of fishing as a kid. If you're taking a little one out over the next two long weekends, remove some of the worry and get them in a life jacket.

If you're looking for a new one, our Splash Ratz are perfect! With a softshell and large arm holes, they make moving around and reeling in those first fish easy.

Even better, you can get them 15% off if you buy through the website this weekend! Use code KWS15 at checkout.

Another one of our Splash Ratz life jackets. With the compact design of these vests (and cool themed graphics), these jackets were comfortable for this wee one to wear when on the deck as fish were being brought in, and when playing in the cabin between bites.

*** PRODUCT SAFETY RECALL REMEDY ***

Halkey Roberts is conducting a recall of its 3F Single Point Manual Inflator (Model No. V96000) contained in some life jackets and personal flotation devices.

The affected Response Lifejacket models are:

* Manual Inflatable Adult 150N lifejacket (various colours)
* Stormrider Softshell Inflatable Jacket (150 rating)

The product is being recalled because the indicator status on the inflator may show the life jacket is ready for use (green or partially green) even when the gas cylinder is empty, removed, or not connected properly. The life jacket cannot inflate if the gas cylinder is not connected properly, resulting in a risk of drowning.

Affected inflators are marked on the inflator’s grey body with a “V96000” and have a laser marked manufacture date between 4 June 2021 and 15 April 2024.

Please visit www.kilwell.co.nz/response-recall to find out what to do with your lifejacket.

A couple of great snapper caught by Rob and his son this weekend, the fishing has really picked up across the country now!

The holidays are only a week away for many of us, and the boating and fishing scene is about to hit its busiest period for most. Now is a great time to give your lifejackets a once over, check for wear and tear, and service them if they are due.

Our inflatable jackets are self-serviceable and should be done once a year. Get yourself prepped now, and enjoy your time on the water knowing your lifejackets are ready to go if you need them.
