FLW Outdoors announced today that Z-Man has extended its sponsorship agreement with the organization.
“Z-Man has established itself as a reputable brand within our industry, and thus we’re thrilled to keep them in our sponsor lineup, said FLW Marketing Division president Trish Blake. "Z-Man lures played a pivotal role at a number of our Walmart FLW Tour events, including Chevy pro Luke Clausen’s win on the Potomac River.”
Clausen makes up one part of the Z-Man pro staff, also known as “The Z-Man Squad.” The Spokane, Wash., native is one of only five pros to have won both the Bassmaster Classic and the Forrest Wood Cup. Clausen largely credited his most recent win to the new Z-Man ElaZtech Flappin’ CrawZ.
“I mainly fished for spawning bass in that tournament, and the ElazTech material on that Flappin’ CrawZ makes it appear so lifelike,” he said. “It’s also naturally buoyant, which separated it from a lot of other baits. It really got those spawning fish fired up.”
Said Z-Man GM and executive VP Daniel Nussbaum: “We are thrilled to be onboard with FLW for the 2012 tournament season. Our ongoing relationship – not only with FLW, but with specific anglers like Luke Clausen – has been critical to our continued growth and success."
