The most recognized name in competitive fishing and built with performance, innovation, and reliability in mind.  Once you take a ride in a Ranger… you won’t be able to settle for anything less… it’s the ultimate fishing machine.  Schedule a sea-test at your local Ranger Boats dealer and find out why they’re the only choice for Flats Class.  Ranger Boats builds legends one at a time!

Absolutely the best choice for inshore anglers… E-tec has more torque, less weight, and better fuel economy. Spend more time on the water… make Evinrude E-tec your next outboard engine! I spend over 200 days a year on the water between my guide business and filming Flats Class TV… I can’t afford down time that’s why I choose Evinrude.

I never worry about boat control… big winds, strong current or hard bottom, no problem. Power Pole securely holds my boat in position to maximize my fishing efforts… it’s a “must have” tool on all inshore boats!  The Power Pole is probably the single most important innovation to inshore boats that helps the angler catch more fish!

“Every one of my personal best records have been caught on a Daiwa… from my 10lb. speckled trout in Texas to my 185lb. giant tarpon in Boca Grande” – C.A. Richardson.  Daiwa reels are the most reliable in the industry and more importantly in the field.  Come visit me this year on the Daiwa Fishing Tour… check for the schedule of events at Flats Class.

“Mirro-lures have always been in my tackle bag. They are truly the only hard baits designed to target saltwater species and almost every baitfish profile & color is represented in the Mirro-lure line up.”- C.A. Richardson.  Next time your out on the water tie on a Mirro-lure for more action, more strikes!

With radar and satellite overlays and the best HD fish finder in the business, it’s no wonder I can concentrate on just fishing!  Raymarine the leader in marine electronics!  I would never attack the Louisiana Marsh or the 10K Islands without my C-Series from Raymarine it’s theonly tool I turn to get me there and back.

Strike King Lures have been catching bass for years and now they are finding their way into the hearts of coastal anglers… catching everything from redfish to giant tarpon! If your tired of useless plastic baits littering the deck of your boat, then try an Elaztech Strike King bait… you just need one!

Fishing artificial lures without scent attractant is like eating a hot dog without the chili & onions.  Pro-Cure super gel formula will adhere to even your hard baits and spoons… increase your catch rate use Pro-Cure Scents.  Using Pro-Cure is like cheating… I’ve caught redfish with spoons that just lay motionless on the bottom when they have Pro-Cure scent applied! 

“MyBMS jack plate enhances the performance of my boat… allowing me to have access to sensitive areas without impacting the environment.  Better hole shots and improved fuel economy are just a bonus” – C.A. Richardson

Minn-Kota trolling motors maybe the best fish finding piece of equipment ever made… and definitely looked upon as the standard in the industry!  I’m able to spend ten hours a day power fishing areas in competition because of my power saving Minn-Kota… the other guys are back at the ramp early now you know why!

“Aqua Dream Spoons are the only spoons that give you the advantage of color… I consider the AD spoons one of my go-to baits on the tour!”- C.A. Richardson. Mike Hakala has done it again… he’s made the best damn spoon even better!

“Owner Hooks are the strongest, sharpest hooks I’ve ever used… when money is on the line I have an Owner hook tied on!”- C.A. Richardson. Owner hooks is what we consider the critical link between us and the fish at Flats Class… it will be the only hook you need too.

Navionics charts are a must whether your the traveling angler or the weekend warrior.  They simply help you get to and from your destination safely with pinpoint accuracy not to mention they help you catch more fish!
