From the start of my career, I have made a point to only represent companies whose quality products I believe and trust in any tournament situation. That being said, I currently represent some of the top manufactures in the industry.
Triton Boats have always been among the finest bass boats on the market. And their new 2010 line of boats, featuring their industry-leading design and construction methods, have never been better. The TR-21XS Elite is far and away the fastest, driest and smoothest riding boat that I have ever driven. The flawless hull design of the 21XS, combined with the power of a Mercury OptiMax 250 hp Pro XS, affords me a lightning fast hole-shot and extreme fuel-economy, all while providing the best rough water ride that I’ve ever experienced. Whether tournament fishing or guiding, I depend on the superior features and performance built into my TR-21XS Elite to get the job done.
Kaenon Polarized eyewear allows me to be comfortable, safe and effective whenever I’m on the water. Top quality lenses protect my eyes from UV rays and afford me the best eyewear performance no matter what the sky conditions or if I’m sight-fishing. Best of all, I can fish all day without stress to my nose, ears or temples. And it doesn’t hurt that they look awesome too.
Every angler worth their salt knows that the most important link between you and a tournament winning fish is your line. That’s why I spool all my reels exclusively with Hi-SEAS products. Whether I’m flipping mats with 65-pound Grand Slam Braid, shallow cranking with 15-pound Quattro, or FlickShakin’ with their super dependable 8-pound Fluorocarbon, when the money’s on the line, I trust Hi-SEAS.
I can’t describe the level of quality built into Quantum reels. When I’m out there in a tournament with money on the line, I cannot have a reel that does not perform at the level I’m fishing at. My Tour Edition and Energy reels keep up with me from launch to weigh-in and never let me down. That’s why I choose Quantum. I fish Performance Tuned…you?
You’ve got 5 fish in the livewell, but you need a kicker to push you over into the lead. What do you tie on? A Black Dog Bait Company Swimbait. I have supreme confidence that when I start swinging a Shellcracker, Weed Slinger or Go-2 Minnow, I’ve significantly increased my chances of putting a giant in the boat.
When it comes to tournaments, quality and performance are not optional. I need rods that can put my lure right where I want it, get a rock-solid hookset and pull big fish out of the heaviest cover, no questions asked. I trust the H3 Titanium Ultra and MagStrike Series of rods in all of my fishing applications. And when it comes to crankbaits, there is not a rod in the world that will out fish a David Fritts Crankin’ Series rod built entirely 100% E-Glass action. American Rodsmiths...fish with distinction.
This Southern California based company provides me with the coolest, most comfortable clothing that I love to wear both on and off the water. For me, fishing isn’t just a job or a passion, it’s a way of life! And there’s one word for fishing an upwards of 240 days a year…Addicted. So whether I’m walkin’ around on campus or I’m bouncin’ 10-pounders in the boat, Bassaholics always has what I want. Bassaholics - Lifestyle Apparel for Addicted Trophy Hunters…
As a company, Humminbird has taken marine electronics to the next level. As innovators, they have set a new industry standard for graphs and showed us the future of sonar. As a dedicated structure fisherman, I am nearly lost without SideImaging technology. It is the single-greatest innovation in angling history since the trolling motor. The advent of SideImaging has allowed myself and millions of anglers like me the ability to actually have a three-dimensional image of what is on the bottom. Humminbird: Simply. Clearly. Better.
MinnKota provides me with the most durable and effective trolling motors on the water today. The incorporation of their indestructible composite shaft keeps me fishing despite hitting stumps and rocks when I’m up shallow, and I count on their use of Universal Sonar 2 transducers for interference-free readings when I’m out deep. I have supreme confidence that the quiet, errorless operation of my MinnKota Fortrex will help make me the most efficient angler I can possibly be.
As a committed offshore structure fisherman, it goes without saying that I fish a jig...a lot. And when the money is on the line, I can only trust the best jigs on the market. Jewel Bait Company is far and away the finest jig manufacturer in the business and for good reason, their product is top-notch. They have a product line that allows me to tackle any fishing situation head-on. With Jewel jigs, I have supreme confidence that when I set the hook on the fish that could win me the tournament, it’s getting in the boat. Football, flippin’ or finesse, when the situation calls for a jig...I reach for a Jewel.
Where do you find a single tackle box containing 10,000 different spinnerbaits? Only at Secret Weapon Lures. Their revolutionary spinnerbait designs have significantly increased my efficiency on the water and dramatically boosted my catch when conditions call for a blade. Bottom line…Secret Weapon is my one and only choice when it comes to spinnerbaits. Period. When top-quality components meet a radically innovative concept, what you get is a precision engineered weapon of bass destruction.
The jackplate is a crucial aspect of a performance bass boat. That is why I run an 8” Hydraulic Jackplate from Bob’s Machine Shop. The quality of their products is second to none. The hydraulic operation of the unit allows me to adjust the height of the plate and to tune my boats performance on the fly. Whether I’m negotiating giant swells, cruising in shallow water or running wide open on the way to a spot, I trust my Bob’s Machine Shop Jackplate.
As a tournament angler and guide, I demand the best performance available when it comes to my outboard. I need a motor that offers unyielding reliability, top-of-the-line performance and the absolute best fuel economy on the market. Mercury OptiMax provides me with the pinnacle of all these features and does so without compromise. I have supreme confidence in my Mercury Pro XS; I won’t run anything else.
