The 2013 pro staffs for Abu Garcia and Spiderwire were released today. The combined lists appear below.
“The Abu Garcia pro team is our face to the millions of anglers across North America,” said Abu Garica business manager Andrew Wheeler. “This audience closely follows the tournament triumphs of these tremendous fishermen to learn more about the fishing techniques these pro anglers successfully use. In addition, these anglers provide invaluable information to our engineers as we develop new products.”
Said Spiderwire business manager Ron Kliegl: “Spiderwire adds that edge to fishing that influences the very way we bass-fish. Our Spiderwire pros live up to the brand’s reputation for leadership in recreational and competitive fishing.”
