Synergy Sports Marketing, a division of Synergy, has announced the inclusion of Hobie Polarized back into the professional bass fishing arena. Hobie Polarized, a leading manufacturer of high quality polarized eyewear with the help of Synergy Sports Marketing has put together its 1st professional bass fishing pro-staff team since 2002.

   Hobie Polarized claims they have raised the bar within the industry this year not only with its pro-staff, but with the introduction of their new Hydroreflective Lens that actually sheds water while maintaining all the glare blocking capabilities you need on the water.

   Anchoring the Hobie Polarized pro-staff team is BASS and FLW Angler of the Year and Bassmaster Classic champion Jay Yelas. "We are so excited about our relationship with a bass fishing legend and champion like Jay. He has worn Hobie Polarized exclusively for many years but it is only now we are publicly endorsing the relationship through this channel. Jay is not only a great fisherman but he is also a solid role model off the water for our company", says Paul Tyner head of Hobie Polarized Marketing and Promotions.

   Also at the top of the Hobie line-up is past FLW tournament winner and Bassmaster Classic qualifier Wesley Strader. "Wesley is such a good fit for Hobie Polarized. He is a strong up and coming professional angler who has experienced a great deal of tournament success and really ready for a breakout year", states Doug Goddard of Synergy Sports Marketing.

   Rounding out the Hobie regional pro-staff are Shawn Strader of Tennessee, Wesley Burnett from Arkansas, Rob Jasper & David Meeks of Texas, Bill Schaefer & Art Bailey from California, Mark Hooker of Illinois, Michael McCoy from Florida and Scott Curl of Washington.

   In honor of Jay Yelas' long time and successful professional bass fishing career Hobie Polarized has developed and produced a tournament fishing line of polarized sunglasses called the Yelas Series.
