Although unconfirmed, it looks like Roland Martin will be switching from Triton to Nitro and Mako for the 2008 season. Rumors are rampant about the deal, which would bring Martin more fully under the Bass Pro Shops umbrella. Bass Pro this year became the title sponsor of his Fishing with Roland Martin TV show, and since Bass Pro owns Tracker Marine (and Tracker's Nitro and Mako brands), the move probably made sense.
Both Walt Reynolds, who's marketing director of Roland Martin Productions, and Triton pro-staff manager Jeff Rashid, declined to confirm or comment on the rumored switch, but did state that Martin is under contract with Triton through the 2007 calendar year.
Tracker Marine could not be reached for comment before this Dock Talk item was published.
