BassFan LLC, a division of OutdoorsFan Media, today announced that Tru-Tungsten has become the presenting sponsor of the BassFan World Rankings.

The BassFan World Rankings are the only statistical, multiyear, comprehensive rankings of the world's best professional bass anglers, and are the official World Rankings of the sport.

Tru-Tungsten chairman Tim Gregory said: "Tru-Tungsten has signed some of the dominant anglers in the sport, like Greg Hackney, Mike Iaconelli, Denny Brauer, Marty Stone and others. The World Rankings help affirm the strength of our fishing team – the quality of the anglers and the products they help us design – because they are the only true, time-tested, multiple-year measure of performance in this sport. We also consider an angler's world rank as we look at potential additions to our team.

"BassFan.com is the premier destination for bass fishermen and bass-fishing fans," Gregory added. "Every day, hundreds of thousands of fishermen visit BassFan.com, where they see the World Rankings right on the homepage. I feel the exposure we'll receive through this presenting sponsorship is a tremendous coup for our company, and will deliver strong returns for years to come."

BassFan CEO Jay Kumar said: "We're happy that Tru-Tungsten recognizes what the anglers and fans have known for years, which is that the BassFan World Rankings are pro bass fishing's most important statistic. They show how the pros really measure up against each other, and give fans a meaningful way to keep up with their favorite pros.

"Tru-Tungsten is a great company with great products and a unique business model. We're excited to work with them at a higher level into the future."
