Cliff Pace
Cliff Pace of Petal, Miss., will again be running a brand new HI-SEAS Wrapped boat on the trail for 2011, and debuted this with his 12th place finish at the 2011 Bassmaster Classic.

Cliff is coming off back to back seasons with top 12 finishes in the B.A.S.S. Angler of the Year race, has two wins and 29 top 20 finishes in his B.A.S.S. tournament career. Cliff attributes his success to HI-SEAS lines, “I was at a point in my professional career in finding a line I was comfortable with, and that would help take my success to the next level. I purchased the HI-SEAS 100% Fluorocarbon Line and was instantly hooked on its extremely high quality and ease of use. This is one of the greatest factors to my success over the past three seasons.”
Jeff Kriet
Jeff Kriet of Ardmore, Okla., is back for his third season on the HI-SEAS Pro-staff Team. Jeff first came on board the HI-SEAS team at the beginning of the 2009 season.

Jeff’s loyalty to HI-SEAS lines is unsurpassed. “The biggest part of competing against the highest caliber anglers is having confidence in your tools. One of my key tools is HI-SEAS line. With HI-SEAS lines, I know I have the best line available. My line is probably the main tool I have since it’s your direct connection with the fish, and I can tell it’s the best line I can use.”
Terry Scroggins
B.A.S.S. Elite Series angler Terry “Big Show” Scroggins of Palatka, Fla., is back for his second year on the HI-SEAS Pro-staff Team.
