Veteran Bassmaster Elite Series angler Tim Horton of Alabama has joined the Duckett Fishing pro staff. The Demopolis, Ala.-based rod company is owned by fellow Elite pro Boyd Duckett.
“Timmy is obviously a great angler," Duckett said. "He engraved his name forever in our sport by winning Angler of the Year (in 2000), something every angler covets. But what’s even more important to us, Timmy’s a professional on and off the water.
“Another thing that’s truly important about Timmy is that he’s a hands-on guy when it comes to product development. He’s like our other pro staff guys in the fact that he will help us develop leading products in the future.”
Said Horton: “I’ve known Boyd Duckett for years, and I have tremendous respect for him as an angler and a businessman. He’s a leader that you can trust. He’s also savvy. What has really impressed me is that he takes no shortcuts when it comes to developing rods."
He joins a staff that includes Kelly Jordon, Terry Scroggins, Byron Velvick, Jason Williamson and Pete Ponds.
