ANGLER’S INSIGHT:
How many times have we seen anglers lean over to scoop a bass, only to feel their sunglasses slip off their face. Sure, we’re pretty much all using some type of straps, cords or bands, but stuff happens. Moreover, kayak anglers that leverage their smaller profile to access hidden backwaters often have to duck and dodge overgrown vegetation to reach the sweet spots. All it takes is one oddball branch to slip free and smack your hat and glasses right off your head. And if you’ve ever held little ones, you know how they love to grab and toss items with rattlesnake quickness. Examples are probably endless, but the bottom line is this: Hobie’s Floating Collection, including the New Eddy Float, will prevent these accidents from becoming costly wallet hits.
