Star Brite's Reggae Mitt & Reggae Sponge

If you’ve ever wondered how anyone could possibly improve the chore of washing your boat, Star brite has two answers - the Microfiber Reggae Sponge and the Reggae Mitt. Used dry, they remove dust from gelcoat, glass, countertops, painted areas or virtually any other surface on your boat. Dunk them in a bucket of boat wash, and they are the best way to quickly clean the boat after a day on the water. The Reggae Mitt fits over your hand; the Reggae Sponge features a scrubbing side that makes short work of crusted grime. Both are machine-washable and made to deliver years of service. MSRP $11.50. For more information contact Star brite at 800-327-8583. www.starbrite.com

That will undoubtedly become a favorite with the more demanding saltwater fishermen. Available in sizes 4/0 thru 11/0 and comes in the popular corrosion resistant NS Black finish. Suggested Retail; $13.60 pk. See your tackle shop. www.gamakatsu.com
