The pros will represent Abu Garcia throughout the 2019 season on various tournament trails including the Bassmaster Elite Series®, Fishing League Worldwide® Tour (FLW), and the Major League Fishing® (MLF) Bass Pro Tour.

The anglers on the team’s roster include some of the top names in bass fishing today.
