Reins Fishing Signs Bill Lowen, Ott Defoe & Cliff Crochet


Reins Fishing announced today that it is partnering with Bassmaster Elite Series anglers Bill Lowen, Ott Defoe and Cliff Crochet to promote its line of tungsten products. Reins is Japan’s top tungsten supplier.

“Elite anglers like Bill Lowen, Ott DeFoe and Cliff Crochet demand the highest quality products available.  Anglers in Japan are the same way.  We are very excited to be making Reins Tungsten available in the United States and look forward to hearing about anglers using the weights to catch more fish,” said Mike Clark, Reins Tungsten’s National Sales Manager.

“I fished Reins on the Elite Series last year and felt extremely confident with them. They have custom shapes in the widest available weight range. They have an awesome matte finish that won’t chip and a sleeve insert to eliminate line fray,” said 2011 Bassmaster Classic qualifier Bill Lowen.

Ott DeFoe is excited about using Reins Tungsten for flipping tubes. “The perfect weight for a 4” tube is 5/16 ounce. That weight allows a tube to impart the exact action necessary to trigger strikes. Reins is the only company that I can find that sells that exact size in tungsten,” said DeFoe. “At the Toho Southern Open I was sight fishing using a Berkley Power Hawg and an ‘absolutely tiny’ 3/16 Reins bullet weight. It was the perfect setup for that situation.” Defoe finished in 4th place out of 193 anglers in that event.

“At the recent Southern Open a fisherman saw my flipping stick and asked how I was able to fish mats with a 3/4 ounce weight. It was actually a 1.5 ounce Reins weight,” said Cliff Crochet. “The size of these weights is so much less than old-school weights. They are even smaller than other tungsten weights. People ask me what’s the big deal about the size of the weight. I tell them the smaller the weight the better the hook up.”

Reins Tungsten warns anglers that all tungsten products are not the same. Reins Tungsten weights are constructed of the highest concentration of tungsten on the market, and thus smaller in size.
