FLW Outdoors today announced the 2012 EverStart Series schedule. Five divisions – Central, Northern, Southeast, Texas and Western – will again be offered, with four qualifying events per division culminating in the no-entry-fee EverStart Series Championship Nov. 1-4 at the Ouachita River in Monroe, La.
Pros will compete for $35,000 and co-anglers will vie for a new Ranger 177TR with a 90-horsepower outboard in every qualifier. If the angler is Ranger Cup-qualified, the winning pro will also receive a new Ranger Z518 with a 200-horsepower outboard and the co-angler will receive an additional $5,000 in each regular-season tournament.
The championship will pay $50,000 to the winning pro, plus a Ranger boat package if that angler is Ranger Cup-qualified. The Angler of the Year in each division will receive $5,000.
