FORT SMITH, Ark. - PRADCO Outdoor Brands, the world's leading manufacturer and marketer of fishing and hunting brands and products, has acquired Bandit Lures of Sardis, Mississippi.
Bandit was founded in 1976 by Jim Winter, who launched a series of spinnerbaits at that time. In 1980, Bandit exploded onto the crankbait scene with the 200 Series, which has evolved into one of the workhorse crankbaits in competitive and recreational bass fishing. Bandit eventually launched other famous models such as the 100, 300 and Footloose series.
Forsyth, MO Vicious Vision Premium Polarized Sunglasses now offer two new lens options, Yellow Moss and Blaze Orange. These new colors were developed to enhance vision and depth perception during low light times such as early mornings, late evenings or overcast days.
The Yellow Moss lens brings many of the benefits of a traditional yellow lens, but that hint of green keeps from blowing out images when things begin to brighten up.
It doesnt matter whether you fish tournaments seriously or casually, keeping your fish healthy is critical to competitive success.
Most anglers know to add a livewell treatment chemical periodically, especially on a hot day or when the livewell is brimming with big bass. Many of these chemical additives restore the slime that protects the bass and keeps them lively.
