Costa Sunglasses and the Association of Collegiate Anglers (ACA) have renewed their partnership for the 2016 Cabela’s Collegiate Bass Fishing Series. Through their continued partnership, Costa Sunglasses will enjoy national exposure among collegiate anglers throughout the televised Cabela’s Collegiate Bass Fishing Series.
Costa Sunglasses is dedicated to protect and help the competition angler’s vision on the water. All Costa sunglasses are 100-percent polarized, and protect against harmful UVA and UVB rays. Its patented 580 lens technology offers unparalleled polarization and razor-sharp clarity by selectively filtering out harsh yellow and harmful high-energy ultraviolet blue light. Filtering yellow light enhances reds, blues and greens, and produces better contrast and definition while reducing glare and eye fatigue. Absorbing high-energy blue light cuts haze, producing greater visual clarity and sharpness.
Costa’s 580 lenses are available in optically ground glass (580G) or super lightweight, impact-resistant polycarbonate (580P). Lens colors include gray, copper, amber, sunrise, blue, green, and silver mirror, giving the angler the perfect color choice for the weather conditions. Costa also offers customized Rx lenses.
“These anglers are leaders in the next generation of bass fishing, and we’re proud to continue our partnership with the ACA and the Cabela’s Collegiate Bass Fishing Series,” said Al Perkinson, vice president of marketing for Costa.
Collegiate anglers have come to know Costa through the ACA Discounts and Incentives Program, including the Costa Big Bass bonuses, which will continue throughout the 2016 Cabela’s Collegiate Bass Fishing Series.
“Costa has long been an anchor in our collegiate program since the very first college event we held on Lake Lewisville. Due to this commitment Costa has developed a loyal following of collegiate anglers nationwide thanks to both a quality product and their generous support directly to college anglers. Their continued support of the Cabela’s Collegiate Bass Fishing Series illustrates their commitment to the young men and women who make up the ACA,” said Wade Middleton, tournament director of the Cabela’s Collegiate Bass Fishing Series and President of CarecoTV.
Anglers wearing Costa sunglasses throughout any of the four Cabela’s Collegiate Bass Fishing Series events are eligible for a Costa Big Bass Bonus of $500, which will be paid out to the highest finishing team that is wearing Costa sunglasses at each event. In addition, if at least one team member also wears a Costa hat or displays a Costa logo on their jersey, they can pick up an additional $500 bonus for winning the BoatUS Collegiate Bass Fishing Championship or the Collegiate Bass Fishing Open. Complete details can be found in the ACA Discounts and Incentives Program.
About Costa™
As the leading manufacturer of the world’s clearest polarized performance sunglasses, Costa offers superior lens technology and unparalleled fit and durability. Still handcrafted today in Florida, Costa has created the highest quality, best performing sunglasses for outdoor enthusiasts since 1983.
For Costa, conservation is all about sustainable fishing. Many fisheries that should be vibrant and healthy are all but devoid of native fish because they have fallen victim to poor fishing practices, unregulated development, lack of watershed protection or all of the above. Costa works with partners around the world to help increase awareness and influence policy so that both the fish and fishermen of tomorrow will have healthy waters to enjoy. Costa encourages others to help in any way they can.
