MINNEAPOLIS, - FLW announced today
that Strike King Lure Company has re-signed as an associate sponsor of FLW for
the 2013 season. Financial terms of the deal were not released. Strike King has
been in business for more than 40 years with a wide selection of fresh and
saltwater baits as well as polarized sunglasses and will receive exposure
across all of FLW's platforms, including its tournaments and Expos, multiple
websites, FLW Bass Fishing magazine and the "FLW" television
show on NBC Sports Network. "FLW" is broadcast Sundays in
high-definition (HD) to more than 559 million households worldwide, making it
the most widely distributed weekly outdoors-sports television show in the

Strike King will also serve as title sponsor of the Angler of the

in each division after four events win the Strike King Angler of the Year and
