Power Strike Helps Win National Walleye Championship

Thousands of walleye anglers from across North America competed to become one of 250 teams invited to the 2009 Cabela's National Team Walleye Championship. Chris Clemmons & Bob Hausler credit Power Strike for helping them achieve their ultimate goal. "We used Power Strike all season, including the championship. Its thin diameter-to-strength ratio coupled with its low stretch and fishability, gave us the edge we needed to win. Power Strike's increased sensitivity allowed us to detect subtle bites but at the same time provided the extra strength needed to power our winning fish into the net."
