Dobyns Rods joins the FPT’s family of premier sponsors

SACRAMENTO Ca, - Serious golfers never compromise on the quality of the clubs they use for distance driving or for in-close play as they approach the “greens”. And it is for sure that baseball players feel the same about the quality and balance of the bats they use to deliver punishing swings to a staunch field of defenders.

And serious bass anglers are no different.

Owning a quality rod is arguably the most important tool in a competitive bass angler’s arsenal, and more often than not, can make the difference between you smiling in the winner’s circle, or you suffering in silence as you make the long drive back home.

And congruent with its current family of five-star sponsors, the Future Pro Tour Tournament Trails is pleased to announce that Dobyns Rods will join its family of premium sponsors as an official sponsor of the 2010 Future Pro Tour.

Celebrating its third year on the market, Dobyns Rods has made a significant impact on the sports fishing industry, “raising the bar” for overall quality and value, and offering today’s discriminating angler a series of rods that give no compromise to quality, and provide the best in engineering dynamics and fish catching performance.

“We are proud to be part of the Future Pro Tour Tournament Trails organization, as we find quality and value in the events they host. The fact that a wide range of skill levels is represented in the group of anglers that participate, represents a natural fit for our products and our goals as a company”, stated Gary Dobyns, the company’s president and founder.

As a presenting sponsor of the Future Pro Tour – Dobyns Rods will present the BIG BASS Award - in both the central and northern regions, and provide a premium Dobyns Rod for the overall all BIG Fish of the event in that region. Winners will also receive a Dobyns Rods hat and custom shirt for their achievement – and have their BIG Fish option paid for at the next FPT event they fish!

At the end of the year, the angler with the biggest over all weight (both regions combined) will receive the Dobyns Rods - “When Fishing is More than A Hobby” trophy, along with a new Humminbird Fish Finder!
