Costa is also
one of the companies in the fishing industry that not only offers great products
but is helping protect the water that is vital to our sport. One recent example
includes them stepping up to help rebuild and restore the areas that were so
drastically impacted by Hurricane Ian this past September. Ian caused
devastating damage to Fort Myers, Naples and surrounding areas in Southwest
Florida. After witnessing the devastation to an area that the company calls home Costa stepped in to help raise funds
and contribute to the recovery efforts. The company even donated 100% of
proceeds from their
#OneCoast apparel line directly to the relief efforts.

Costa and Captains for Clean Water recently hired local fishing guides in SW
Florida for trash clean-up trips around Sanibel Island, in the days leading up
to CFCW's Restore Gala (Image provide by Costa)
Then on Nov 8th
Costa followed this up with a $50,000 dollar donation to its longtime
conservation partner Captains for Clean Water. The full donation went directly
towards the orginization's Emergency Disaster Relief Fund to help those impacted
by Ian to get back on their feet. It always
helps when you know the brand that you are supporting is doing their part to
help the environment and victims of natural disasters.

Construction/Quality |
A high
quality
frame
that
feels
solid
and well
built.
The Ferg
feels
higher
end than
the
Untangled
frames
and the
Bio
Resin
resists
impact
and
scratches
very
well.
The
hydrolite
rubber
elements
held up
well to
moisture,

and
whatever
I threw

Performance |
A very
high
performance
frame
that
puts a
priority
on
polarization,
comfort,
light
isolation,
and wind
protection.
This
frame is
very
well
suited
for open
water
fishing
due to
these
features.
The
green

are also
ideal
for
sight
fishing

Price |
Retailing
for $294

the Ferg
is
reasonably
priced
for such
a
high-end
frame.
It comes
with a
Costa
case and
cleaning
cloth
which
are both
useful.
I was
also
able to
find
this
frame
for
cheaper
prices
from
some
retailers
which is
good
news for
anglers |

Features |
I feel
that the
Ferg
puts a
priority
on
performance
over
style
but this
isn't to
say that
the
frames
are not
stylish.
They
blur the
lines
well and
the
thinner
temple
arms
shouldn't
full
you, the
shields
on the
side and
top of
the
frame do
a great
job
isolating
light
and the
adjustable
nose
pads
ensure
an
excellent
fit |

Conclusion:
The Ferg is a great frame for
inshore and offshore anglers, but also has a lineup of features that also enable
it to perform well for bass anglers. When it comes adaptability, these frames
can take on a wide variety of activities and look stylish enough for days when a
rod isn’t in hand.

Though optimized for inshore and
offshore fishing the Ferg offers features and performance that also suits bass
anglers
There really
isn’t much I didn’t like about the Ferg frames. They fit well, provided
excellent visibility to sight fish, and helped protect my eyes from the sun and
wind. The only reason that I don’t wear them all the time is because I find
myself favoring the styling of some of Costa’s more beach-oriented frames, but
when it comes time to fish in a storm, or head offshore, I put a priority on
performance and reach for the Ferg.
