Cheap Gear Doesn't Make It Through Tournament Day
A season of practice and travel tournaments wrecks weak hardware fast. Here's what that costs a team, and how Ebb N Flow gear is built to avoid it.
Gear That Can't Keep Up
- Budget jig heads chip, roll, or lose their action after a handful of practice casts
- Borrowed or shared tackle nobody really knows how to rig
- Soft plastics that tear apart before the first tournament cast
- No consistent setup from the practice pond to the tournament lake
Money and Practice Time, Lost
- Re-buying the same cheap jig heads every few weeks
- Practice time lost re-rigging instead of running patterns
- Parents and coaches covering replacement gear all season
- Walking into a weigh-in under-prepared
Gear Built to Last the Season
- HexFusion-stabilized jig heads built to survive a full season
- True fresh & salt crossover — one box for every lake on the schedule
- 10X Tough ElaZtech® baits that hold up cast after cast
- Team ordering made simple through your coach's discount code
Built for Tournament Anglers, From the Hooks Up
Every piece in the lineup is designed around one idea: gear that keeps working after practice, travel, and tournament day have had their say.
Forward-Facing Sonar Ready
The Upgrade Hover runs horizontally in the strike zone — built for forward-facing sonar and umbrella rigs.
Weedless A.T.V Design
Punch docks, grass, and laydowns without hanging up — built to plow through cover other jig heads avoid.
True Fresh & Salt Crossover
The same jig heads that work the home lake also work an inshore trip — no separate box needed.
Patent-Pending HexFusion Tech
A stabilization keel and internal belly weight keep baits swimming true instead of rolling over.

After 15 years working with major outdoor brands, founder Dave Erdly kept running into the same problem: cheap hooks, inconsistent balance, and jig heads with eyes that just didn't hold up. So in 2023, he engineered The Upgrade™ jig head from scratch — patent-pending HexFusion Technology, a 60-degree line tie, a stabilization keel, and an internal belly weight system.
Ebb N Flow Outdoors is still a small team based in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina — built to design fishing gear that actually works, and stand behind every piece we sell.
Answers, Not Guesswork
The things youth, high school, and college anglers ask us most.
Is this gear good for beginners, or just experienced tournament anglers?
Both. The Upgrade is a true all-in-one jig head, so newer anglers get a proven, no-guesswork setup while experienced anglers get the weight and color options to dial in a specific pattern.
Does the same jig head really work in both practice ponds and travel-ball lakes?
Yes. It's a true fresh & salt crossover design, so the same head and baits that work your home lake also cover an out-of-state tournament stop — no separate gear needed.
My team has a discount code from our coach — where do I use it?
Enter it in the discount code box at checkout. Each team's code is distributed by the coach (often via a QR code) and applies to individual player and family orders. If your team doesn't have one yet, have your coach reach out to us to get set up.
How fast does it ship, and where from?
Orders ship from Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina. You'll get a tracking number as soon as it's on its way, and orders over $50 ship free.
What's your return policy?
Easy returns on unused gear. If something isn't right, contact us and we'll make it right — we stand behind every piece we sell.
Where are Upgrade jigheads made?
Made in USA with imported hooks. Every Upgrade jighead is poured and finished by Ebb N Flow Outdoors in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina, on a premium Mustad hook.

Tips & Tricks: Build Your Following
You don’t need a big following to get noticed — you need consistency and a few smart habits. Here’s how to start building your presence as an angler on social media.
- ✓ Post 2–4 times a week — enough to stay visible without burning out your audience (or yourself).
- ✓ Best times to post are early morning (6–8am) and evening (6–9pm), when most anglers are off work or school and scrolling.
- ✓ Write real captions that tell the story behind the catch, and add music or sound that matches the vibe — never silence.
- ✓ Tag the brands, sponsors, and people in every post (like tagging @ebbnflowoutdoors) — it’s the easiest way to get noticed, shared, and reposted.
4 Things to Post About — Every Time
Stuck on what to post? Rotate through these four topics and you’ll never run out of content other anglers actually want to watch.
How-To
Teach something you know — a knot, a retrieve, how you rigged up for the day. Simple tips are the most-shared content there is.
What’s Working
Show the bait, color, or spot producing right now. Anglers follow accounts that keep them in the know.
Something You Struggled With
Post the tough day, the missed hookset, or the pattern you couldn’t crack — and ask your followers for help. It builds real community.
B-Roll
Casting, sunrise on the water, boat rides, tying on a new lure — everyday moments that make your feed feel real, not just highlight reels.
