LYT “N” BUGG started from the mutual love of the outdoors that Ken Kennamer and Tracy Bingham shared. We are both veterans, Ken Vietnam Army and Tracy Cold War Navy Submarine Force.
As our friendship grew, we spent more time fishing and hunting together. Our first thoughts centered on improving night fishing, especially when using a sensitive ultra light fishing rod. We realized that no matter how much light we tried, we couldn’t eliminate the problems: insects, eye fatigue, and, most critically, missing the subtle bite that defines ultra light fishing. (Did we mention insects?!)
We tried all the existing rod tip lights, but none solved the combined problems of fitting any ultra light fishing rod, interfering with casting, poor durability, backlight glare, and eye fatigue. Determined to create the ultimate solution for seeing those subtle takes, we worked on a breakthrough for three years. Then it happened… LYT “N” BUGG was born, perfecting the ultra light fishing rod experience after dark!
