Off of back-to-back second-place finishes on the Bassmaster Elite Series, Jeff Kriet, attributed much of his success to having good quality line in his arsenal. Kriet fished an extremely solid tournament over the three days in some of the toughest conditions ever in Bassmaster Classic history. With a slim lead after the second day of competition, Kriet finished the event in second place with 46 pounds, 6 ounces. A big part of Kriet’s success on Lay Lake was his line choice. Kriet was using HI-SEAS brand new four-color camouflage Quattro 100% Fluorocarbon line and HI-SEAS original 100% Fluorocarbon line.

“At Lay Lake, a big part of my deal was being able to make really long throws on pressured fish,” said Kriet. “When I hooked a fish, the thought of breaking off never crossed my mind. When I hooked up, I knew that fish was mine. Both 15-pound HI-SEAS 100% Fluorocarbon line and the new Quattro 100% Fluorocarbon line paved my way to a second place finish on lay lake.”

“Jeff is a first rate angler," said Mike Shields, HI-SEAS Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "His professionalism and experience as an angler are commendable. We are excited for Jeff and his accomplishment at the 2010 Bassmaster Classic and are proud to have Jeff as a member of the HI-SEAS team.”

HI-SEAS released the new, four- color camouflage Quattro 100% Fluorocarbon line as an addition to their extremely high quality family of lines in September of 2009.

“The biggest part of competing against the highest caliber anglers is having confidence in your tools. One of my key tools is HI-SEAS line. With it, I know I have the best line available. My line is probably the most critical tool I have, since it’s the direct connection with the fish. I can tell it’s the best line available.”
