About ElevatedWaters
About ElevatedWaters™
ElevatedWaters™ is the future of modern bass fishing—a complete ecosystem built around high-performance anglers, world-class lure design, and the relentless pursuit of mastery on the water. Founded by tournament angler and creator Perry Waters III, the ElevatedWaters brand represents dedication, innovation, and the belief that fishing is more than a sport… it’s a lifestyle, a science, and an art.

A Vision Built on Big Baits & Big Dreams
Growing up between San Diego’s culture and the competitive mindset of Las Vegas, Perry developed a passion for chasing giant bass with precision gear, custom-tuned big baits, and a deep understanding of fish behavior. ElevatedWaters was created to share that journey — from lure development to high-stakes tournament days — while building products that give anglers a true edge.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple:
Create elite-level fishing gear and content that elevates every angler’s game.
We focus on:
• Custom glide baits and premium tackle
• Big-bait techniques and seasonal pattern mastery
• Tournament strategy, on-the-water decision-making & mental performance
• Community-driven fishing education and ElevatedWatersTV
Custom Lures Designed to Perform
Every ElevatedWaters lure is built on real data, water time, and a tournament-first mindset. We study the top-selling colorways across the country and blend them with West Coast big-bass DNA—clear water clarity, high pressure, and big forage.
Each bait is crafted with:
• Premium hardware
• Tournament-tested tuning
• Realistic finishes
• Modern hydrodynamics for maximum drawing power
These are not just baits. These are tools engineered for results.
Tournament DNA
Perry’s objective is clear:
Become the first African-American angler to win the Bassmaster Classic.
ElevatedWaters documents that journey—from the small wins to the big heartbreaks—so anglers everywhere can learn, follow, and be inspired.
