Angling Technologies announced today that it recently signed Bassmaster Elite Series Rookie of the Year Bradley Roy of Kentucky to an endorsement contract to promote its interactive web-based mapping service as a destination for anglers seeking more information about the lakes they fish.
“Since I started using the site last year, Angling Technologies has proven extremely helpful," Roy said. "I use it as a starting point for researching new lakes and then dive deeper into the application to learn as much as I can.
“It’s very unique and I hope users will continue adding information to the site to make it educational for everyone. It's exciting to think about how we can use this technology to enhance our own fishing experiences and perhaps excite and attract new anglers to our sport.”
Visitors to the Angling Technologies site have access to a variety of features and a continuously growing library of mapping content for lakes, rivers, ponds and coastal waters across the United States. Registered users of the site have the ability to contribute to the map or personalize it.
By sponsoring Roy, Angling Technologies now offers anglers the ability to review content he's added to the map, including his Top 10 fishing sites with notes on their significance in his career. Examples include the locations of his first Elite Series bass, his Junior World Championship spots and favorite fun-fishing holes on his local lakes.
“The internet is only going to scale in terms of its accessibility, speed, and capability across a wide variety of devices," said Angling Technologies president Brian Welde. "As it does, we believe anglers will benefit from having access to a dynamic, interactive and user driven mapping service offering a richer set of location-based content. Our site consolidates fishing-related map information from across the web, while also allowing anglers to share location-based details about their time on the water."
