Fishouflage Releases Predacious Pike Pattern
OutdoorHub 06.12.14
Predator seekers romance sagas of giant pike – not the annoying “snot-rockets,” “snakes,” and “hammer-handles” that snip lures and slime boats, but rather the trophy-class giants that are flashed on smartphones at family functions and seen haunting the walls of taverns and man-caves worldwide.
Fabled angler Lothar Louis was one of them, a bonafide pike hunter. Lothar succumbed the world record northern pike in an abandoned stone quarry in Grefeern, Germany. Tattered photographs show him propping-up the beast while sporting a starched shirt and crisply-ironed slacks. Fishouflage’s fishing-passion patterns were yet to be born, but were his gaudy 25-kg pike bested today, there’s a fighting chance the victor would be donning Fishouflage’s new Pike Pattern – a bold statement that says, “That’s right, I’m the alpha around here.”
Fishouflage, the fisherman’s camo, is jacked (a “jack” is also a pike) about the release of their new Pike Pattern. Finally, trophy pike hunters can wear passion on their sleeves while paying homage to these freshwater legends.
Fishouflage’s Pike Pattern itself captures the moody and mysteriously forested waterscape these predators lurk. Golden shallow weeds and tangles of sunlit tree roots emerge over a craggy rock background. Overall pattern coloration favors brighter greens and tans, soft grays, and the earthy hues of the ominous pike. Pike are woven into the labyrinth of habitat in a myriad of postures, adding more dimension and realism.
The creators of Fishouflage believe the fortune of their Pike Pattern is two-tiered. For one, pike are a global species, their range crossing continents. As well, pike dwell in diverse habitats, from lakes, ponds and reservoirs to raging rivers and modest streams. Secondly, and perhaps most noteworthy, are a pike’s predacious conduct and temperament. Their menacing glare and abrupt attacks can turn a shad to stone and scare the spots off underclassmen pike.
Global demand, says President, Paul Bernegger, sparked the rich and alluring Pike Pattern. “The newest member of the Fishouflage family, our Pike Pattern, was inspired by demand throughout the northern tier U.S. and Canada, as well as the fast-growing predator fishing markets in Europe and abroad. Response has been exciting – very strong.”
Just released, Fishouflage’s Pike Pattern will soon stylize premium apparel ranging from fishing shorts and vented shirts to breathable performance wear and camp-style casual tops and headwear. Fishouflage’s existing lineup of species-specific patterns include European Crap, Redfish, Bass, Walleye, Musky and Crappie.
Beyond its premium casualwear lineup, Fishouflage also boasts solid alliances with legendary brands such as Plano, Frabill and Ardent Reels—resulting in some of the sharpest-looking new tackle and gear in the industry. Anticipate seeing the Pike Pattern soon partnered with other big brands in fishing.
