O2 Marine Technologies

O2 Marine Technologies offers a wide range of products designed for tournament anglers in order to preserve the livewell environment for perfect water balance. This allows the angler to focus on fishing and instead of checking on their livewell to see how their fish are doing. I use their products and endorse the use of them.


The OXYGENATOR™ will keep fish alive because it produces the necessary component for an optimum living environment: Oxygen. Unlike aeration systems that pump ambient air (at 20.9% oxygen) through a diffuser into the water, THE OXYGENATOR uses a patented process to create 100% pure oxygen from the water itself.


U2 formulation was developed from over 15 years of research spent in the bait fish, fish hauling, and sport fishing industries. U2 is a convenient, liquid, single phase full functional water conditioner for use in fresh water and salt water. U2 formulation should be used when conditioning water entering the livewell, bait storage tank, and in fish transport situations.

Ford Excursion Bass Boat Tow Vehicle

I have to admit that I am a Ford fan. I have a Ford F350 and love that truck although it will pull water from the lake, it really doesn't pull as fast an Excursion will. They don't make the Excursion anymore, but If you can find one that is gas burner with V10, I suggest it. Some people use pickup trucks, to pull their bass boat. I like using an SUV because you can store fishing gear in there and still have enough room to haul people without having to unload everything.

Stay'N Charge

The Stayncharge battery charger was originally designed as an added means to help cut down charge time from the onboard chargers that most bass boats have. The StaynCharge All Charge works off of a 12 volt power supply, either through the outboard motor alternator or the tow vehicles power supply through trailer lights.
The All Charge can fully charge trolling motor batteries within a 10 minute boat ride. As a Pro-Staff member I rely on my All Charge to fully charge my boats batteries when I need them.

Nitro Bass Boats

For more than 20 years, NITRO bass boats have provided professional anglers like Darren Chaney the means to reeling in tournament wins. When you look at a NITRO boat, you'll find style perfectly combined with function and durability in every feature and component. Consoles are sleek and provide plentiful legroom and all the instrumentation you need. Compartments are deep, and keep your gear conveniently organized and secure. And, every NITRO boat comes with a custom-fit and color-matched boat trailer. Nitro boats can be found on most lakes throughout the us and the world. As a Pro-Staff member I am proud to use a Nitro boat, although my boat is the perfect place to test and promote my Fishin Tool Bag products.

Fish Harder Companies

As a Pro-Staff member of the Fish Harder Companies, I am proud to use  Tru-Tungsten Tru-Life Swimbaits. They feature a four segment body design and adjustable weight chamber technology to make these huge swimbaits more like three baits in one! These Tru-Life Swimbaits come with four tungsten balls: add one and it’s a floater/wakebait; add two and it’s a slow sinker; add three–four and it’s a fast sinker. Lifelike scales, eyes, and paint schemes. VMC X-Strong hooks. This product along with other great products are from the family of Fish Harder Companies. 

Bass Pro Shops

As a Bass Pro Shops Pro-Staff member out of the Memphis, Tn store. In 1971 young Johnny Morris, frustrated by the lack of tackle in local stores, rented a U-Haul trailer and took off across the country filling it with the newest premium fishing tackle he could find.

When he returned home to Springfield, Missouri, Johnny started in the fishing business with eight feet of space in his dad’s liquor store which became a popular stopping-off place for local and out-of-state fishermen on the way to the Ozark’s famous bass lakes.

A number of these anglers started calling when they got back home wanting Johnny to send them some of his specialized Bass Pro Shops tackle. In 1974, in response to this demand, he printed and mailed his first Bass Pro Shops catalog. Today, outdoor enthusiasts around the world look forward to opening the mail and getting their favorite Bass Pro Shops catalog, while many enjoy visiting and shopping basspro.com.

In 1978, Johnny introduced the first professionally rigged boat, motor and trailer fish-ready package. The Bass Tracker boat “package” revolutionized the marine industry. Huge boat showrooms are featured in every Bass Pro Shops store.

Bass Pro Shops today isn’t just fishing. It is an outdoor retail leader in hunting, camping, nature gifts, outdoor cooking, and much more.

From that simple beginning, Bass Pro Shops has become one of America’s premier outdoor retailers with destination outdoor retail stores across America and Canada, serving over 75 million sportsmen a year. Each store is unique and offers a truly unforgettable shopping experience - as close to the Great Outdoors as you can get indoors!

Additionally, its outstanding power-to-weight ratio results in increased speed and holeshot, making OptiMax a superior engine for any type of boat. OptiMax provides exactly what I need – from best-in-class fuel economy to unbeatable performance and leading corrosion resistance.

About Darren

Young Fisherman - Growing up in the south, fishing and spending time on the lake was a favorite past time. Refining my bass fishing skills with my longtime friend and fishing buddy. I learned what it took to catch large bass on Lay Lake, home of the 2010 Bass Master Classic. Fishing on lakes throughout the south I learned the fishing patterns of southern large mouth bass.

Fishing Travels - Throughout the years I have had the chance to fish at some places that most only read about. Fishing across the midwest, and extreme north, I have had the chance to experience bass fishing in many different environments. Throughout these experiences, I have learned that all these lakes have one thing in common, bass love to be caught.

Today - Living outside of Memphis, Tennessee there are some awesome fishing lakes within an hours drive from my home. To the west is Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri and to the South is Mississippi and Alabama, and of course Tennessee has some of the best bass fishing in the country.

With fishing being my sport, I started Fishin Tool Bag visit Fishin Tool Bag manufactures fishing seat tool bags for bass boats and other fishing boats. Fishin Tool Bags can be purchased at Amazon.com or at your local fishing supply tackle retailer.


As an avid bass fisherman, today I am focused on my fishing career to ensure that my sponsors get the most visibility that I can offer through my fishing. Since the beginning Bass Pro Shops had the vision to add me to their prostaff. Along with Bass Pro Shops my other sponsors are: Nitro Boats, Mercury Marine, Fish Harder Company their product lines are "Tru-Tungsten, Picasso, Mittatchii, Live Eyewear, Stay'n Charge, Power-Pole, 02 Marine Technolgies, and Averagefisherman.com.

On most days I can be found fishing on Kentucky Lake with my Nitro bass boat. Remember to always wear an approved coast guard approved personal floatation vest when the main engine is under power.
