Falcon Bass Boats has added Brandon Cobb to its pro staff in advance of his first season competing as a Bassmaster Elite Series. Cobb will pilot a Falcon F205 equipped with a new Mercury 250PROXS Four Stroke.
Cobb is coming off a successful five-year stint with the FLW Tour, during which he notched four straight top-10s in the Forrest Wood Cups.
He said that there were several factors that led him to make the decision to join the Falcon team.
“One reason is that they are a local company, and I can have more direct contact with the company,” said Cobb. “But the performance of the boat, the storage layout, the size and design of the deck are amazing. I also felt very comfortable with Stephen (Waller) and Tim (DePriest) from the moment I set foot in the building. Those are the reasons I chose to run a Falcon, and I am glad I did.”
Waller said that Cobb had been on the company’s radar for a while.
“We have been following Brandon for quite some time because he is from South Carolina, and it’s great to add another local angler to our team,” said Waller. “Brandon is an accomplished angler and it doesn’t take long to figure out how passionate he is about fishing. We were really impressed with his level of passion for the sport. We are excited to have him on our team.”
Cobb joins a Falcon Bass Boats team that already includes Bass Pro Tour anglers Anthony Gagliardi and Justin Atkins, FLW Tour pros Tim Frederick, Brian Latimer and John Hunter Jr., as well as Bassmaster Elite Series pros Patrick Walters, Brett Preuett, Rick Morris and Bassmaster Opens pro Michael Murphy.
