Introduction:
We come to our final coverage from the BassJam 2010 and take a
closer look at some terminal tackle and maintenance products as well as a
complete assortment of apparel options for anglers that want to showcase their
love for the sport.
Team Davies introduces new
products based on Tungsten
Team Davies: With all the talk about lead
going away companies have to find ways to make weights that meet government
specifications. Team Davies is moving quickly and introducing a series of new
tungsten based weights for punching. Will there be a tungsten version of their
popular drop shot weights in the future? You bet.
Eye Surrender introduces a new
wrap...
Eye Surrender: Eye Surrender makes
solutions for anglers that are both innovative and cost effective, how often can
you say that? The company already made a number of bait wraps that were great
for swimbaits and now they add a 12 pocket wrap that can be folded flat for
spinnerbaits. The new wrap keeps spinnerbaits organized and allow anglers to
carry a vast assortment in a single easy to deploy wrap that fits in just about
any tackle box or backpack.
...and it is designed to organize
all your spinnerbaits for quick and easy deployment
Peregrine 250: Peregrine 250 products are
designed to help keep your boat clean, shiny, protected and looking good. One of
their most popular products is called "Water Dog" which is a hard water spot
eliminator. It also has an added benefit of killing aquatic hitchhikers
including Quagga and Zebra Mussels. The company's signature Peregrine 250
advanced boat spray wax and cleaner not only cleans your boat but also adds a
SPF 35 protection to the surface of your boat.
Peregrine 250 Water Dog and
Advanced Boat Spray Wax are designed to keep your boat in tip top shape
It isn't just boat cleaners for the company as
they also have a product called "Eagle Eye" which is a screen and lens cleaner.
This easy to use cleaner comes in a portable 4oz. spray bottle and a microfiber
cloth. Each Eagle Eye screen cleaner and microfiber cloth retails for only
$5.50.
Zander tried the cleaner on his
camera and it removed all smudges and particles in seconds
Costa Del Mar: Costa recently introduces a
new polycarbonate lens called the 580P which features their 580 technology,
which deliver exceptional polarization and clarity, yet remains extremely
lightweight, impact resistant and is coated for extra durability. Just like the
popular 580 glass lenses the new 580P sunglasses block yellow light, boost red
and green light, and increase polarizing efficiency. They are designed to be the
clearest polycarbonate lenses on the market.

Bassaholics:
If you’re a big bass hunter then there is a good chance you
already own a garment from Bassaholics. This is the brand that pretty much
started it all when it came to Bass lifestyle apparel and features a unique
“street” style that looks just as good on the water as it does on a day out with
friends. Bassaholics has upped the ante when it comes to their styles but also
their quality.
The company that really started
the Bass apparel craze... Bassaholics
The brand now offers new premium shirts that
feature higher grade cotton and are softer and even more comfortable. It isn’t
just about T-Shirts for Bassaholics you can also now get hats, shorts, beanies
and windbreakers with the aggressively styled Bassaholics graphics on them. The
company has also been among the most girl friendly as well and offers a range of
baby doll shirts as well. Still looking to further accessorize? For those that
are truly “Addicted” the brand will soon be coming out with lanyards, boat wraps
and even iPhone wraps!
Get your limit? a new shirt
designed by the Bass Brigade
Bass Brigade: Meet the Bass Brigade, this
crew take's the sport seriously and for them fishing is "not just a sport, it is
a CULT(ure)." The team at Bass Brigade started out in Bass Ponds in Modesto, CA
and have designed a series of shirts that are designed to inspire anglers to go
out and fish. They draw influences from culture around them as well as play
homage to the enthusiast tackle scene.
Lloyd Gomez and Anthony Luna from
the Bass Brigade sport their latest gear
All of their shirts are printed on "American
Apparel" which is a very high quality shirt that is extremely comfortable,
definitely the type of shirt that you would want to fish in.
The team at Phenix have added
jackets to the mix
Phenix:
Phenix addresses just about every application with their rods from ultralight
trout fishing to big game saltwater so it is no surprise that they also have a
line of windbreakers and jackets that are designed to keep anglers fishing even
in nasty weather.
Zander tries one on for size
We checked out some of these new jackets and found
them to be comfortable and quiet to move in, no loud shuffling sounds when
making casting motions, and best of all they pack down to a compact size.
Available in a wide range of colors the new Phenix waterproof jacket retails for
$169.
