When Jeff Gustafson hoisted the Ray Scott Trophy on Sunday in Thompson-Boiling arena he made history in the process. Gustafson not only became the first Canadian Bassmaster Classic champion, he also joined Takahiro Omori as the second international Classic champion. Gustafson's 12 fish creel weighing 42 pounds, 7 ounces also consisted of all smallmouth bass, making him only the second angler to win a Classic weighing in exclusively smallmouth. Woo Daves accomplished that feat in 2000 on Lake Michigan weighing in 14 bass weighing 27 pounds, 13 ounces.

Packing tremendous thump into a finesse profile, the Booyah Covert Finesse Double Colorado Spinnerbait was crafted to help anglers find a bite in challenging pressured conditions. Modeled after the original and wildly productive Covert series, the Covert Finesse Spinnerbait utilizes downsized versions of the same hardware and head design that was perfected with the help of spinnerbait master and Bassmaster Classic champ Jason Christie. That head features extended gill plates that are molded to offset the blade’s torque and provide a redistributed weight arrangement that moves more of the weight to the hook’s shaft to maintain a compact profile without sacrificing castability.
Topping the Booyah Covert Finesse Double Colorado Spinnerbait is a pair of premier Hildebrandt Colorado blades that fill the water column with a thumping presence bass simply can’t ignore. The blades hang on to a durable wire arm that combines the strength to turn a bass away from cover with the flexibility to enhance the thump and vibration generated by the industry-leading blades. A chip-resistant head, flowing silicone skirt, and reliably sharp hook come together to complete this irresistible bladed package. The ideal weapon to employ on pressured bodies of water, the Booyah Covert Finesse Double Colorado Spinnerbait will help turn a challenging day on the water into a smashing success! Check out the full lineup here.

Costa expands PRO series with launch of Corbina PRO |
|
Costa Sunglasses, manufacturer of the first color-enhancing all-polarized glass sunglass lens, brings next-level performance to its legacy frame Corbina for spring 2023. The enhanced Corbina PRO features new performance upgrades that keep your frames locked in place and vision clear so you can stay focused on what's most important - finding fish. For the past 40 years, Costa has supplied anglers with the best sunglasses on the market for long days on the water. In 2021, the brand debuted its PRO Series with the award-winning Blackfin PRO and Fantail PRO. Today, the collection has grown to a family of six with its latest addition, Corbina PRO. The best-selling frame now features an updated style and six added features to help anglers better manage sweat, reduce fogging and keep their frames in place, even when the water gets rough.
Corbina has been a legacy favorite and sport staple among bass anglers for years. The new PRO frame takes it up a notch with eyewire drains and sweat management channels to move sweat away from your eyes, improved Hydrolite™ grip on the nose and earpiece to keep your frames locked in place, a fully-adjustable and ventilated nose pad for a custom fit and to reduce fogging, hooding and side shields to maximize coverage and metal keeper slots to keep your frames from going overboard. “Corbina has been my go-to frame for a while now. I always joke that even if I didn’t have them on, you could tell they’re my favorites just by my Costa tan," says Justin Lucas, Costa PRO and two time MLF Champion. “I was stoked when the team reached out to me to test the Corbina PRO. The PRO Series has been a game changer. Having the added features to my favorite frames has been the best of both worlds.”
“Bass is one of our largest communities of anglers. With Corbina being so beloved in the bass community, it was a no-brainer to add it to our PRO collection and launch it right before the tour season,” says John Acosta, Costa Sunglasses Vice President of Marketing NA. “We’re always looking at ways to support the bass community - from making the best performance sunglasses for the water to conserving the resources within. That is the motivation behind our super successful Costa Compete + Conserve program - rewarding anglers for wearing Costa and raising money for freshwater conservation efforts. When anglers win, they get to choose one of five conservation partners for Costa to donate to. We hope to see more Costa anglers wearing the PRO Series on the podium this year!” The Corbina PRO is equipped with Costa's cutting-edge polarized 580® glass lens technology, providing exceptional clarity and color enhancement. These scratch-resistant lenses effectively reduce haze and blur, while boosting essential colors for superior definition. Built with Bio-Resin, Costa's PRO Series frames are lightweight and maintain the durability necessary for any watery adventure. Starting at $284, Corbina PRO is currently available at local dealers or Costasunglasses.com.
