Missile Baits announced today the addition of Chad Morgenthaler to its pro staff. The veteran touring pro from Illinois joins Ish Monroe and John Crews.
Morgenthaler will fish the FLW Tour, the PAA Series, and all three divisions of the Bassmaster Opens in 2013.
“I’m really excited about the opportunity to work with such an accomplished pro staff and a new aggressive company," Morgenthaler said. "I’ve known John for years and he is definitely an out-of-the-box thinker, which is reflective in the research, development and marketing of Missile Baits. Simply put – Missile Baits catch fish and will definitely provide bass anglers with an added competitive edge.”
Said Crews, the founder and owner of Missile Baits, “I have known Chad for a long time. He certainly understands the business and promotional end of this business very well. Chad is also a very talented angler. We look forward to working with him and having him help grow Missile Baits.”
