Dry Case

The DryCASE is a flexible, crystal clear waterproof bag that allows complete use of your phone or camera while keeping it dry and clean. Simply pump out all the air with the easy to use hand pump and the bag will vacuum seal around the contents and become completely waterproof. The air tight seal guarantees that the contents of the bag will stay dry even when submerged underwater. Every DryCASE comes with the extreme activity arm band for water sports, and is crystal clear so pictures can be taken through it while using the other side.

"DryCASE is awesome! I use it to stay connected with my iPhone and to take underwater pictures with my digital camera. I live at the beach and DryCASE gives me the freedom to get calls, messages and even listen to music. Each day I get up and paddle around the sound, and don't miss an important email or phone call. If it wasn't for DryCASE I wouldn't be able to enjoy my favorite water sports and still stay connected. I don't know what I would do without it!" -Corey from Wrightsville Beach, NC.

Costa Del Mar Sunglasses


What attracted us to carrying Costa Del Mar was their complete focus on sunglasses for use around the water. Because of the popularity of kayaking and especially Kayak Fishing, we wanted to offer a fishing sunglass that was second to none. After trying a pair out in the Biloxi Marsh last weekend, I think we made the right pick.
My initial impressions of my new Costa 580's were two: First off, they were incredibly light for a glass lens sunglass. I like glass lenses for their durability and optical clarity. However, glass lenses usually end up so heavy that they are not great for active sports. The 580's felt as light as non-glass lenses. The second impression what the amazing contrast the 580's gave me on the water. Everything looked cleaner, clearer and crisper.
As I worked back deep into the marsh I started noticing redfish everywhere. I think I had gotten used to not seeing them with my old glasses - so it took a little while to realize how easy they were to spot with my new Costa's. When I got back to a shallow pond, I saw a dozen or so fish tailing with their backs out of the water. As the tide rose, the fish were below the surface so I had to depend on my sunglasses to let me see through the glare of the water's surface. The 580's were nothing short of incredible for sight fishing. I would go as far as to say that it was a whole new game compared to my old polarized glasses.
If you are looking for the best performance on the water or off, come by and take a look at our huge selection of Costa Del Mar sunglasses.

Cablz Eyewear Retainer


Why wear other eyewear retainers that hang on your neck, soak up sweat, get dirty, stink and fray? Cablz® are unique in the way they do not lay on your neck, distract you or irritate your skin. Whether you are fishing, boating, golfing, hunting, running, biking, hiking, rock climbing, snow skiing, snowmobiling or just enjoying the great outdoors Cablz are the ideal eyewear retention system that will keep your eyewear secure and stylish.


Not to be confused with Croakies, Chums or other eyewear straps or eyeglass cords on the market today, Cablz are made of surgical grade steel cable, industrial strength rubber and other proprietary components. Cablz are the next generation in eyewear retention and are designed to handle hard work and active lifestyles.

How Cablz Were Invented
Necessity sparked invention for Ron Williams, an avid outdoorsman and inventor of Cablz® Eyewear. Williams, who has sold medical devices for more than two decades, was in a hurry when leaving a hospital parking deck one morning. When he turned his head to check for oncoming traffic, his fabric eyewear retainer snagged, knocking his sunglasses across his face. Frustrated, Ron snatched off his sunglasses, retainer and all, and tossed them to the floorboard. They landed in a duffle bag next to a surgical steel cable used to repair complex fractures, then Ron got a bright idea.

When he got home, Ron took the cable and some electrical tape and fashioned the first Cablz® prototype. He took some ribbing when he wore them to the office, but co-workers liked the idea. When he replaced the electrical tape with rubber, friends and colleagues began requesting Cablz® for themselves.

Buff UV Protection Mask


Buff UV Protection Sun Masks should be on your wish list because it:
1) let's you skip sun screen

2) lets you see more fish

3) feels comfortable even when worn all day

If you spend all everyday out on the water you have to protect even your face from getting burned. By covering the last remaining skin you can also skip sun screen lotion. No smelly stuff on your wonderful bait any more. (we assume that you already wear sun-protection clothing and only have the face left to cover)

How can you see more fish with a face mask?
You need polarized sunnies to see what's in the water. Our white skin destroys a chunk of this effect by reflecting the sun to the back of the sunnies. By closing the gap between sunnies and skin you experience the true potential of polarization.

The Buff as a tube fits snug over your glasses and covers this gap.
What a Catch!Wind protection is not that obvious but probably the most important bit. Ever wondered why you feel so drained at the end of a great fishing day? It's the wind that puts a strain on your entire body and virtually sucks your energy away.
Buff as a face mask and a cap prevent this energy drain. You don't have to hide in the wind shade. You can stand tall on the bow or on the cliff and return home with lot's more energy left. For a pro being more focused for a longer time simply results in better catch.
For you it offers a nice advantage over your mates. Guess who has the last laugh at the end of the day. The drained, tyred one or the smiling energetic fisho that has more than one great story to talk and laugh about. I hope this gives you a bit of the drift.

I don't need comfort - I'm tough
Sure. That's why you don't mind something in your face that itches, smells and makes you sweat.

The textile engineer behind Buff realised two decades ago that it is comfort that makes our day. No matter how tough we are: Nothing beats feeling good while doing what we love most.

A Buff is guaranteed itch free for the lifetime of the fabric and almost always feels good in any weather.

Because it is the only tube only the market that comes with a guaranteed UV blockage of 95%.

100% Money Back - Guaranteed
The feedback is so overwhelming positive from fishing professionals that we are happy to give you a 100% money back guarantee if not satisfied. We even provide you with a paid return envelope to make it as easy as possible (just ask for it). In 7 years of trading 6 came back. 5 looked as if the dog had chewed on it.
