Major League Fishing (MLF) announced today that Mercury Marine signed on as the exclusive engine sponsor of the MLF BIG5 for the 2021 season.
“We are thrilled to take the next step in our relationship with Major League Fishing to establish Mercury Marine as the exclusive engine of the MLF BIG5,” said Gary Lancina, senior director of global brand & influencer marketing strategy at Mercury. “Our relationship with Major League Fishing is rooted in our common passion for the water and the joy of a tight line. We are excited about the future with MLF and the MLF BIG5, as Mercury Pro Team competitors and all anglers powered by Mercury join fans to embrace the thrill of bass angling, from the high school level all the way up to the MLF Bass Pro Tour.”
Said MLF president and CEO Jim Wilburn: “Our relationship with Mercury Marine goes back to 2011, when they signed on as a valued supporter of the very first MLF Challenge Cup, featuring only 24 professional anglers. After 10 years of growing and working together, we are excited to continue to expand the relationship with Mercury across our organization and to now provide an extensive tournament network with access to thousands of anglers who fish the MLF BIG5 circuits. Mercury has been with us every step of the way and has once again stepped up to become the exclusive engine of the MLF BIG5.”
