Auburn, Calif. January 21, 2014 - Skeet Reese,
Bassmaster Elite Series pro from Auburn, Calif.; the 2007 Bassmaster Angler
of the Year and 2009 Bassmaster Classic Champion announces his new line of
Skeet Reese Sport Optics in partnership with Bimini Bay Outfitters. Over the past several years, Skeet Reese
branded products have become known for their exceptional value. The whole
lineup of products consists of premium quality componentry and features, but
strives to deliver it to end users at price points that allow the average
angler the opportunity to use world class gear. Skeet Reese Sport Optics will
feature six frame styles and carry a retail price of $29.99. The lineup will feature four different
polarized lens options; Smoke, Smoke with Blue Mirror, Copper and Copper with
Green Mirror. All six styles will be available with the Smoke, Smoke Blue
Mirror and Copper Green Mirror lenses while two pair will be available with
the Copper lenses as an option. Other features include durable TR-90 nylon
construction in most frame styles; polarized, multilayer constructed TAC
(triacetate) lenses with a hydrophobic coating and a reusable hard case for
storage. Reese is proud to bring his new brand of
eyewear to market. "I've always said that I would not endorse what I
wouldn't use myself," he said. "I still operate that way, and I've
always known that anglers need the chance to have great equipment that
doesn't break their budgets. My rods and reels have been built on this
premise, as will this eyewear line. They are stylish, but more importantly,
they are high quality and promote great vision on the water." Bob Litt, vice president of Bimini Bay
Outfitters said this project is unique to this industry. "The lineup is
unique to the fishing industry," he said. "From modern, edgier
styles, to two-tone crystal finishes and the Skeet Reese logos, there is
nothing in the industry like these in the under $30 category." He also was impressed at Reese's
involvement and commitment to the project. "Skeet was involved in
everything from the frame styles, to the lenses, to logos and
packaging," said Litt. "I think we really captured his persona in
this brand, and he had a lot to do with that. He is a great guy, a tremendous
angler and businessman, and we are proud to be working with him." Skeet Reese Sport Optics will be available
this spring, at www.skeetreeseinc.com, Bimini Bay Outfitters
and at fishing tackle at retailers everywhere. |
