HI-SEAS® CONGRATULATES JEFF KRIET ON 2ND PLACE FINISH AT 2010 BASSMASTER
CLASSIC
COATESVILLE, PA (March 8, 2010) –HI-SEAS® would
like to congratulate B.A.S.S. Elite Series angler Jeff Kriet
on his recent 2nd place finish in the 2010 Bassmaster
Classic on Lay Lake in Birmingham, AL. Kriet fished an
extremely solid tournament over the 3 days in some of
the toughest conditions ever in Bassmaster Classic
history. With a slim lead after the 2nd day of competition,
Kriet finished the event in 2nd place with 46lbs – 6oz. A
big part of Kriet’s success on Lay Lake was his line
choice. Kriet was using HI-SEAS brand new 4 color
camouflage Quattro 100% Fluorocarbon line and HISEAS
original 100% Fluorocarbon line.
“At Lay Lake, a big part of my deal was being able to make really long throws on pressured fish” Kriet
said. “When I hooked a fish, the thought of breaking off was never a thought that crossed my mind.
When I hooked up, I knew that fish was mine. Both 15lb HI-SEAS 100% Fluorocarbon line and the new
Quattro 100% Fluorocarbon line paved my way to a 2nd place finish on lay lake.” HI-SEAS Vice
President of Sales and Marketing, Mike Shields says “Jeff is a first rate angler. His professionalism and
experience as a professional angler is 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, 4 color camouflage Quattro 100% Fluorocarbon line as an addition to their
extremely high quality family of lines in September of 2009. It is producing numerous top finishes for
many anglers around the world. Kriet says, “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 HI-SEAS lines, I
know I have the best line available. My line is probably the main tool I have since it’s your direct
connection with the fish, and I can tell it’s the best line I can use.”
