Alabama pro Russ Lane has joined the Phoenix Boats pro staff – he'll run a Phoenix 721 ProXP powered by a Yamaha 250 SHO in the 2011 Bassmaster Classic and on next year's Elite Series.
"Phoenix boats are designed and built by great folks in Tennessee who truly have a passion for the sport of bass fishing," said Lane, who was formerly with Bass Cat. “They recognize there is more to a tournament-ready bass boat than just going fast in a straight line. The 721 ProXP has a Diamond Vee hull design that will hold true in the tightest turns and provides the softest ride I've ever experienced.”
Said Phoenix founder Gary Clouse: "After seeing Russ in the Bassmaster Opens this year and visiting with him at our headquarters, it was obvious he is the type person who we want representing us. Russ is a great person and angler. We are excited to have him fishing from a Phoenix in the 2011 Bassmaster Classic in New Orleans and in future tournaments."
Lane joins Greg Hackney on the Phoenix pro staff.
