The Last Blast
DAIWA set to showcase new and award-winning gear at the final Bassmaster Elite event on the Mississippi River, headquartered out of La Crosse, Wisconsin
FOOTHILL RANCH, CA (August 18, 2025) – With big crowds expected for this weekend’s season final Bassmaster Elite Series in La Crosse, Wisconsin, DAIWA’s tournament crew will again be onsite to add to the excitement at the event’s accompanying Expo taking place at Loggers Stadium.
New DAIWA TATULA X TW 100
DAIWA continues its ‘We’ve Got Your Bass Covered’ focus at the Expo, highlighting the introductions of its ICAST award-winning Ballistic MQ LT spinning reels and TATULA Bass Series cork handle bass rods, along with the new LC Concept featured TATULA TW 150 and TW 200 baitcasting reels. Those attending can also look over and buy many of the TATULA Elite AGS and Elite Series rods designed by several DAIWA pro anglers fishing the tournament.

With assistance by Joe’s Sporting Goods staff from the Twin Cities at the event, “we’ll also have a large assortment of our extensive TATULA reel lineup, along with both DAIWA and Evergreen bass lures and other fishing accessories,” said Will Rogers, field marketing specialist for DAIWA. “While it’s always a treat to talk fishing and tackle for the thousands who attend Elite Series weigh-ins, I can tell we all may be a bit distracted as we’ll be watching the weigh-ins with special interest as DAIWA pro Chris Johnston goes for back-to-back ‘Angler of the Year’ honors.
Rogers notes that anyone purchasing a TATULA rod and or reel at the event will receive an exclusive DAIWA/AFTCO co-branded performance shirt – while supplies last. Of special interest will be the Chris Johnston-design TATULA AGS 761MLSF hair jig rod, which he says, “is the absolute best rod out there for when it comes to durability and sensitivity.” The medium-light power hair jig spinning rod with a cork split grip enables anglers to make long casts and offers solid hooksets when using lighter line.
