Havasu, AZ - Elite Series pro, Dean Rojas, will be sporting some new raingear when the Bassmaster Classic kicks off next week on Lay Lake. The Arizona pro announced that he has added Gill raingear as a sponsor for the 2010 Elite Series season.
Already a top company in professional sailing, Rojas said that the crossover to the professional bass fishing market is a perfect fit. “Sailors are constantly running around the boat so it’s important that their gear is very easy to move in. It’s a great crossover to what we do as professional anglers because of the mobility that we need when we are casting , flipping or just moving in the boat,” he said.
“We’ve always worn a lot of the big, heavy suits on the market and you feel like the Pillsbury Dough Boy because they are so bulky,” explained Rojas. “Gill’s fabric is breathable, water resistant, water proof and built on a layering system where you wear two or three layers to keep the body warm and the moisture out.”
During the 2010 season, Gill will have a presence on Rojas’ boat, truck, and jersey.
“It’s exciting to have a new company come into the fishing arena. They’re a successful company in the sailing market so for them to want to be involved with professional bass fishing is a huge step,” concluded Rojas.
