I have fished out of many different bass boats but in my opinion Skeeter builds the finest in the industry. The past few years their attention to detail has been second to none. Being a tournament angler I need to maximize every second I spend on the water. I need a boat with sufficient storage space and one that will get me to my destination quickly yet safely. With the design of the new iClass I don't have to compromise a great ride for great speed. My 20i gives me both!

Falcon Rods have attributed to my tournament success since day one. Falcon makes an unbelievable series of rods for a multitude of different applications. From throwing swimbaits to dropshotting and everything in between, Falcon has a rod to cover the situation. The new "Cara T7" rods are outfitted with Fuji Alconite guides and all new Fuji ACS exposed blank reel seats which increases casting accuracy, lure control and provides greater sensitivity to the angler. The newly redesigned "Expert" series are extremely lightweight and sensitive, weighing less than 4 ounces. Other highlights include, CrossMatch graphite construction, Fuji Alconite guides, and ACS exposed blank reel seats. Each rod in the new Expert series features split-grip handles and the finest in lightweight materials and superior construction. Top to bottom Falcon makes the best and most complete variety of rods I have ever fished.

In tournament fishing you need to have supreme confidence in your boats motor. When I go to fire up my Yamaha VMAX HPDI I never have to worry about whether or not it will start when I need it to. Whether it's heading to my first spot in the morning or making it back in time for weigh in, my Yamaha powers me where I need to go... on time... every time.

Tough, Durable, Easy Casting and extremely Low Memory. In the past I had to use several different types of line to cover all these qualities...Until Now! The new Sufix "Siege" and "Elite" lines combine all the qualities I could want in one awesome line. Never again will I have to sacrifice smooth casting for abrasion resistance and durability. Sufix Elite and Sufix Siege provides me with a line that casts effortlessly and at the same time is extremely strong and durable. The new G2 precision winding process allows for less memory which translates to me changing my line less often. I am also a big fan of the new "Performance Braid." Whether flipping into extremely heavy cover or making long casts onto the mats with frog baits, I depend on the new performance braid to get me through the thickest of cover.

Studio Productions has been there for me since I began tournament fishing. Not only are they the best and most well known design and fabrication company in the country, they have been one of my biggest supporters for 7 years now.
