When it comes to purchasing a product off of the shelf, many of us do not give much thought to what really goes into getting it onto the shelf in the first place. We at KayakFishingClassicS recently had the chance to be involved in the process of testing prototype paddles for Bending Branches.  I suggested that we also have some of the top kayak anglers on the Gulf Coast take a look. The good people at Bending Branches liked that idea, and we moved forward.

The 2012 Kayak Fishing ClassicS Tournament Series (presented by Diablo Paddlesports) is a 10-event “open to the public” run. Contestants earn points throughout the series based on their catch. The “Southern Redfish Classic” is the series championship, and the series point’s leader at the conclusion of this tournament wins a Diablo Paddlesports kayak. High point scorers qualify for the National Championship invitational tournament in November.

Bob Bramblet wins the Tarpon Fever Classic Kayak Fishing Tournament in Sarasota Florida.
