Independent Tackle – Fishing Information

We are pleased to announce that our Pro Staff member: Lee Hillman has qualified for the Bassmaster Weekend Series Southern Regional Championship. This is one step closer to qualifying for the Bassmaster Classic in February of 2011. Lee will be competing against some of the best fishermen from across Alabama, Louisiana, Florida and Georgia. The tournament changed venues from the Tensaw Delta in Mobile, Ala., to Lake Seminole in Bainbridge, Ga. due to the possible problems with the oil disaster in the gulf.

If you haven’t heard of Eye Surrender yet, you should.  Imagine a pair of sunglasses with  TR-90 nylon frames (the same frame material used by Costa Del Mar), super clear and highly scratch resistant Tri-Acetate Polarized (TAC) lense, a 400% UV rating, unlimited lifetime warranty, and if that weren’t enough, each Eye Surrender pair of shades comes with its own hard case with cleaning cloth included.
