Oklahoma pro and Bassmaster Classic favorite will contribute
heavily to product development
Megabass of America hereby announces that it will sponsor veteran
Bassmaster Elite Series pro Edwin Evers for the 2013 season. He’ll join Aaron
Martens, Luke Clausen and Shin Fukae on the Megabass
tour-level pro-staff.
The announcement comes just weeks before the start of the 2013
Bassmaster Classic, to be held on Oklahoma’s Grand Lake, where Sooner State
resident Evers will be among the early favorites. The partnership could not
have come at a better time for both parties.
“The Vision 110 has been in my arsenal for years,” Evers said.
“It’s the premier jerkbait out there and all the pros use it. It’ll more than
likely win the Classic.”
Over the course of his professional career, the 38 year-old
Evers has won seven B.A.S.S. tournaments, including three in the past four
years. He’s a perpetual contender for the Angler of the Year trophy and has
fished 11 Bassmaster Classics, finishing in the top ten on three occasions.
“Edwin is not only one of the premier anglers in our sport
today, but he also embodies the core values, work ethic and competitive spirit
at the heart of the Megabass organization,”said
Yuskei Murayama, Vice President of Megabass of America. “Edwin has exhibited a tireless drive
to perfect his craft, and I know his input will be invaluable to our
development efforts. We couldn’t be more excited to welcome him to the Megabass family.”
The agreement between Megabass and
Evers represents an additional step towards the company’s goal of expanding its
US presence and creating products specifically tailored to USfisheries.
“That’s
the part that’s most exciting for me,” Evers said. “They want my direct input
on anything and everything. The two things they care about are winning
tournaments and product development and that’s a situation I’ve always wanted
to be in.”
Please stay tuned for upcoming releases from Megabass
of America
