BCS III Prize Donations

Nitta Fishing Innovations sent a Nitta Bait Harness and Front Rig for the event. He has also sent a sample of their Live Bait Zips. The kayak fishing guys are killing the pelagics as well as inshore game with Nitta gear in Hawaii and around the world. I plan on trying the Live Zips on greenling and rockfish this year for monster lings.

Big Hammer sent a ton of Mini Hammer Swimbaits for the captains bags. This size works for crappie and panfish and are a great finesse bait for bass when they get picky. The larger version does really well in the Ocean for rocks, lings, and cabbies. I also had success with the Ring Hammer Swimbaits for walleye last year. Great action on these plastics. Thanks again for the donation Pete. Find their complete line of lures at www.swimbait.com and stay up to date at www.facebook.com/bighammerlures/

Happy to have Fillet Away Fish Mats send two Fish Mats to the Brownlee Crappie Shootout III. Fillet Away is a local company that makes fish cleaning easy and a lot safer. The rubber pegs keep your catch in place while you're working and clean up is a quick wash down with the hose. These mats are very durable and can be rolled up to save space which is always a plus on a kayak. Thanks for the donation Conan. Make your life a little easier at www.filletaway.com
