Cole Huskins Sees His Way to Victory at the Bassmaster Open on Lake Norman

This past weekend on Lake Norman, Hobie Eyewear ambassador Cole Huskins delivered a standout performance to claim victory at the Bassmaster Open. In a tournament where every detail matters, Huskins leaned on one of the most important tools in his arsenal: his vision.

“Throughout the tournament a huge role in winning was being able to see the fish sunning under docks and cruising down the banks with my Hobie sunglasses.” His ability to visually track fish in changing conditions gave him a clear edge, allowing him to make precise casts and capitalize on opportunities others simply could not see.

For Huskins, this win adds to a growing list of successes with a familiar favorite. “The Mojo Floats have been my lucky pair for the past few years, and I’ve won about 4 to 5 tournaments wearing them.” Designed for performance on the water, Mojo Float has become a trusted go to thanks to its lightweight feel, secure fit, and polarized clarity that cuts through glare. Plus, they float, so Huskins never has to worry about losing them when it matters most.

Now, Huskins is looking ahead with even more confidence. With the introduction of the upgraded Mojo Float 2.0, he is ready to build on that momentum. Featuring enhanced comfort, improved grip, and advanced ventilation to help reduce fogging in hot conditions, Mojo Float 2.0 is built to perform when it matters most. For anglers who spend long days on the water, that level of reliability can make all the difference.

Lens selection also played a key role throughout the tournament. Huskins relied on Hobie Eyewear’s specialized tints to adapt to shifting light conditions. “Hobie Eyewear’s Sightmaster Plus lens is the absolute best for cloudy days out on the water. I’ve also really been enjoying the Grey with Silver Flash Mirror lenses in my Cove Floats for bright days where there isn’t a cloud in the sky.” From low light mornings to bright midday sun, having the right lens ensures consistent clarity and contrast.

Huskins’ win on Lake Norman is a testament to preparation, skill, and the ability to see what others miss. That is exactly what Hobie Eyewear designs for. Whether you are chasing your next tournament win or simply enjoying a day on the water, the right pair of sunglasses is more than just gear. It is your advantage.
