Whitewater Fishing Catches Two Rising Stars |
|
Bassmaster Elite anglers, Wesley Gore and Alex Redwine, come aboard to represent best-in-class fishing apparel brand |
|
MUSKEGON, Mich. (May 13, 2025) – Whitewater Fishing is proud to add two new ambassadors to a growing list of bass fishing pros, anchored by Bassmaster Elite tournament ace, Jay Przekurat. “We’ve been looking for the right level of attitude, aspiration, performance, and social engagement to expand the Whitewater Fishing pro bass fishing team,” said Steve Allie, Director of Marketing at Whitewater Fishing. “And what we’ve found in both Wesley and Alex is exactly that mixture – with a whole lot of passion for the sport and our brand. They are both up-and-comers everyone has their eye on, and we expect them to keep climbing leaderboards in the coming years.” 24-year-old, Alabama-based Wesley Gore is currently fishing the Bassmaster Elite Series and has competed in nearly 50 events with a 2025 Bassmaster Classic appearance, eight top 10 finishes, and been in the money 23 times. Whitewater now joins Gore’s other premium sponsors: DAIWA, Sunline, Mt. Dew, Xcite Baits, and others. |

“Jay Przekurat and I are best buddies, so it’s an honor to share a sponsor like Whitewater,” said Gore. “I’ve been alternating between the Whitewater Great Lakes Pro Insulated and regular uninsulated Great Lakes Pro suits for a lot of the early season. Both keep you dry – and the insulated is the absolute best extreme weather outerwear I’ve ever worn.” Gore continued: “For all seasons, I’m a huge fan of the new Luswea joggers. They’re the best pair of pants I’ve ever put on for all-around use. And I really like how super stretchy the Lightweight Tech Hoodie and Prevail Pants are for on the water – they have a huge range of movement for how actively I fish.” Likewise, 25-year-old Ohio-based Alex Redwine is fishing the Bassmaster Elite Series and has finished in the money 26 times. Redwine joined the Elite Series after finishing third in the 2021 Bassmaster Northern Open Standings. He also competed in the 2025 Bassmaster Classic and is currently on his 4th season on the Bassmaster Elite Series, racking up 7 top 20 finishes. |

From the banks of the Ohio River region, Redwine grew up fishing bass in the Ohio River and nearby Brookville Lake, but really loves brown bass factories, Lake St. Clair and Erie. Whitewater Fishing joins an impressive roster of Redwine sponsors including Humminbird, Minn Kota, Yamaha, Phoenix Boats, and others. “So far this year, Whitewater gear has given me the ability to fish comfortably no matter the conditions,” said Redwine. “Whitewater’s lineup has the best of both worlds – everything from the Great Lakes Pro Insulated suit for really cold days early in the season to the Lightweight Tech Hoodie and Rays Performance Hoodie to keep my skin protected when the sun’s out. And the Prevail Pants are the most comfortable I’ve ever worn. The pants are my favorite for both on- and off-the-water.” “It’s a huge honor to be on the same team as Jay Przekurat and Wesley Gore – plus, the company is laid-back and easy to work with. They really listen to our feedback and what we’re looking for in premium fishing apparel,” concluded Redwine. |

Warmth Through Loft ScentLok’s new BE:1 Puffy Jacket and Pant bring quality and field performance to a popular style MUSKEGON, Mich. (June 24, 2026) – Some things just look warm. Regrettably, a percentage of those things fail to live up to their appearances. Such is often the case with outerwear. More specifically, outerwear for hunting. Consider the puffy jacket. You can literally slide into one online for under $40. The Photoshopped Ai model sure looks svelte and comfy, but that unrecognizable brand is a little wonky. Unpronounceable, really. Never seen it before. And why is it only available from international ecommerce juggernauts? Because it’s crap. The polar opposite is true when new hunting outerwear drops from a legacy manufacturer, like ScentLok. And so it is with their new BE:1 Puffy Jacket and Pant. Dark Slate NEW Realtree XT-3 Delivering on-demand warmth, the BE:1 Jacket and Pant are extraordinarily comfortable and sporty looking to boot. Typically, ScentLok product descriptions open with the company’s “fabric-first” promise, but in this case, we’re diving into the insulation first. The outerwear duo’s Sorona® Aura insulation delivers higher fill power than similar weight polyester insulations, providing a lighter, warmer garment with less filling, which allows for greater packability. Made from the Sorona polymer, a performance fiber that is about 37% plant‑based rather than fully petroleum‑derived, Sorona Aura traps air while remaining thin and flexible and less bulky than traditional synthetic fills. It’s also breathable, designed to let moisture vapor easily escape, helping regulate body temperature and reduce that awful clammy feeling during active use. Sorona Aura also maintains its loft wash after wash. ScentLok takes another step by thermal-mapping the insulation into particular zones. In the BE:1 Puffy Jacket, for example, the chest area – the body’s furnace – contains 80g of Sorona Aura, while the arm insulation is throttled back to 60g to advance mobility. The BE:1 Puffy Pant features 60g of insulation throughout. The final insulation related trait is the baffling. Those sewn seams with individual insulation pockets aren’t for style-points only – they hold the insulation in place, defying gravity and time. Additionally, baffling promotes lofting, which means more warm air is captured. Despite the luscious and lofty insulation, the BE:1 Jacket and Pant are surprisingly packable. “They easily store in a field bag or daypack, so you can carry them into the field for a sit or take them off if the weather heats up,” said Allie. To thwart the olfactory senses of big game, the BE:1 Puffy Jacket and Pant include ScentLok’s Carbon Alloy® scent control technology. Carbon Alloy combines treated carbon, activated carbon, and zeolite to absorb odors emitted by your body. Carbon Alloy utilizes natural coconut shell carbon, as it has the largest internal surface area of any carbon on earth. This massive surface area promotes the adsorption of the broadest scent molecule range. It innately secures these molecules and holds them until you reactivate your gear in a household dryer. The BE:1 Puffy Jacket and Pant are structured of a durable, ripstop nylon outer fabric with soft peached lining – the lining feels easy on the skin and welcomes layering like butter. The shell is also DWR treated to help shed moisture and resist staining. The elbows are articulated for improved fit and mobility. Articulation, or pre-curvature, is a design feature where the fabric at the elbow is shaped and seamed to match the natural bend of the arm. The jacket also features a high-neck for added wind protection and an intelligently designed hood. The hood is constructed of three unique fabric patterns for better sculpting and hold, even while turning from side to side. Moreover, the hood is purposely cut to position behind your eye for better peripheral vision. The BE:1 Puffy Jacket also offers five strategically placed pockets for securing essentials and an adjustable waist to lock in heat and customize fit. The matching pants include specialty features as well, like invisible zippers on the center front fly and pair of front waist pockets. An internal drawcord can be tied on the outside or inside of the waistband. And 18-inch side seam zippers yield easy donning and doffing in the field, boots on.
