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, both of which had certain aspects of concern for safety and opportunity for innovation. Our first thoughts were how to improve night fishing. No matter how much light, placement of light, glowing fishing rod tips we could not eliminate several big problems that made night fishing a nightmare, insects, eye fatigue and missing the subtle bite…did I mention insects!!!
We have tried all the off the shelf products for lighting rod tips and none of them satisfied the problem of fitting any rod tip, interference with casting maintenance, durability, backlight elimination and eye fatigue in one product. We worked on a solution for about three years and then it happened…LYT “N”BUGG!!!
