LOS ANGELES, June 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- According to a
recent report released by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, more
than 90 million Americans go fishing each year; however, a common
saying states, "10 percent of fishermen catch 90 percent of the
fish." This summer, premier specialty sporting goods retailer Sport
Chalet has everything from gear and equipment to professionally led
seminars for both the seasoned sportsmen looking to keep schooling
fish and the amateur anglers ready to join the top 10 percent.
"Fishing is a great pastime, especially during the summer
months, but everybody knows that it's more fun when you are
catching more fish," said Sport Chalet Expert Chris Burston. "To
help customers make the most of their time on the water this
summer, Sport Chalet provides a wide range of fishing gear and
equipment, as well as informative seminars with tips from the
pros."
Burston recommends the following gear to reel in the prized
catch:
- Try a lightweight set up. For freshwater fishermen, the
Abu Garcia Revo S30 Spin Reel is a lightweight reel that is strong
enough for hours of fishing. A unique design ensures even line lay
with mono, fluorocarbon or braided lines, making things super
smooth and reliable. Pair the reel with a lightweight rod like the
Shakespeare Micro Series Spin Rod for an ultra-lightweight set up
that gives the enhanced sensitivity needed to detect small
bites.
- Look for durable materials. Sportsmen who prefer
saltwater should try the Avet MXL 6/4 Reel, which is constructed
from marine-grade aluminum and stainless-steel components for
superior corrosion resistance. The Abu Garcia Volatile Casting Rod
is equally equipped to face the elements with a thickened rod blank
wall for added backbone, strength and durability.
- Check out kits for great values. Those who favor fly
fishing should check out the Redington Crosswater 890-4 Fly Fishing
Outfit, a complete kit that offers impressive performance without
an imposing price. The medium-fast action 8-weight Crosswater rod
is easy to cast and powerful enough to handle big fish while the
matching Crosswater reel has a proven and reliable drag to help
land a trophy.
- Stay organized. Keep tackle ready and easy to access
with the Plano Hydro Flo Flex N Go Satchel. The flexible strap
system makes the satchel easier to customize and organize than
traditional tackle boxes.
- Get rid of glare. Sunglasses do more than just shading
eyes from the sun. Polarized lenses help reduce reflections and
glares off the water making it easier to spot fish. Typhoon Cancun
Sunglasses are a top selling classic that never go out of style and
feature polarized AquaView advanced hydrophobic lenses that repel
water, cancel dust-attracting static charges and resist oily
smudges.
In addition to its products, Sport Chalet offers free Catch More
Fish seminars at several stores. These seminars are led by leading
professional and tournament anglers who share their insider
knowledge and answer questions from participants. Free prize
drawings will also take place during the classes. Consumers can
