Tabu Tackle today announced the addition of Alabama pro Randall Tharp as a partner in the company. Tharp, an FLW Tour pro with a 2011 Forrest Wood Cup berth already in hand (via the Eastern FLW Series), also won this year's Bassmaster Southern Open points and is headed to the Bassmaster Classic in February.
"I've had a pretty solid tournament year, and now I'm part of a growing tackle company – it's all exciting for sure," Tharp said. "Tabu Tackle's much more than a sponsor, and I'm real eager to become a partner and start working with them on new-product ideas going forward. I've been using the Tabu Open Water Series jig for a while now, and will be involved in the development of the new Heavy Cover series, which will possess the same superior features."
Tharp joins fellow Tabu partners Ott DeFoe, Kelly Jordon, Dave Lefebre, Michael Murphy and Anthony Gagliardi.
Tabu, founded by several tour pros, stands for Tackle Approved By Us. It expanded this summer when it added marketing manager Joe Balog and sales manager Lee Duer.
