Yeti 20oz Rambler Custom FRG Logo

Any tumbler that’s coming along for the ride needs to be tough enough to keep up. Our fan-favorite Rambler® 20 oz. Tumbler is made from durable stainless steel with double-wall vacuum insulation to protect the temp of your beverage at all costs. Like the entire Rambler® Drinkware Family, the 20 oz. Tumbler and MagSlider™ Lid are dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning. While the magnet on the included MagSlider™ Lid adds an additional barrier of protection for keeping drinks contained and preventing heat or cold from escaping, please note- this magnet component is not leakproof and will not prevent spills.

18/8 STAINLESS STEEL – Made with kitchen-grade stainless steel, so they’re puncture- and rust-resistant

DOUBLE-WALL VACUUM INSULATION – Keeps cold drinks cold and hot drinks hot until the last sip

DISHWASHER SAFE – Because no one needs more work to do

MAGNETS – Makes for easy opening and closing.

Z-Man Texas Eye Jig heads

Melding a weedless Texas rig with a free-pivoting jighead and the prominent strike target of oversized 3D eyes, the Texas Eye Jighead gives anglers an unbeatable one-two punch. Designed to easily shed grass and prevent fouling or snagging on wood, rock, or shell, the flat sided head and upturned line tie eyelet creates a stable jighead with a spoon-like swimming quality when paired with either paddle-tail swimbaits or straight-tail baits. The Texas Eye Jighead features beefy construction that makes it ideal for a variety of applications that require a snag-resistant presentation in fresh- or saltwater, from pitching baits to laydowns for trophy largemouth to plying the Louisiana marsh for bull redfish.

Swinging hook design allows for maximum bait action and easy weedless rigging

Vivid, oversized 3D eyes present a prominent target for gamefish

Molded bait keeper prevents baits from sliding down hook shank

Built with heavy-duty 3/0 VMC wide gap hooks

Sized to pair perfectly with popular MinnowZ™, DieZel MinnowZ™, and PaddlerZ™ soft plastics for a variety of fresh- and saltwater gamefish
