Major League Fishing, FLW Announce 2021 Toyota Series Schedule
BENTON, Ky. (Sept. 1, 2020) – Major League Fishing (MLF) and FLW announced today the 2021 Toyota Series schedule, highlighted by a smaller Championship field while continuing to offer a $200,000 first-place payout and $10,000 bonuses to the highest-finishing pro from each division.
Anglers who finish in the top 25 in each division’s Angler of the Year (AOY) standings will qualify for the no-entry-fee Toyota Series Championship for a shot at winning $200,000 cash, plus lucrative contingency bonuses like the $35,000 FLW Phoenix bonus offered this season. The winning co-angler at the championship earns a $33,500 Phoenix 518 Pro bass boat (or comparable model) with a 115-horsepower Mercury outboard. The win-and-you’re-in format guarantees that anglers are never out of contention to qualify for the Championship – if they win a Toyota Series tournament, they will be on their way to the Championship along with the top 25 pros and co-anglers from each division.
“We’re really excited about the schedule for our Toyota Series anglers. We truly feel we’ve offered an exceptional lineup of fisheries at optimal times for competitive events with big fish,” said Kathy Fennel, FLW Executive Vice President and General Manager.
The 2021 Toyota Series will feature six divisions, which is down from eight in 2020 but up from five in 2019.
“Last year we aggressively expanded the Toyota Series from five divisions to eight based on demand from anglers and sponsors,” Fennel commented. “Coming off a difficult 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we will run six divisions in 2021 to ensure substantial and sustainable opportunities for anglers nationwide.”
The 2021 Toyota Series Championship field will be smaller due to the reduction in divisions, but the event will still feature $10,000 bonuses for the highest-finishing pro from each of the six U.S. Toyota Series divisions and the International division.
Toyota Series entry fees will remain the same at $1,700 pro and $550 co-angler per tournament and top payouts in each event remain $75,000 for pros, including a $35,000 FLW Phoenix Bonus, and a $33,500 Phoenix 518 Pro bass boat (or comparable model) with a 115-horsepower Mercury outboard for co-anglers. As field sizes increase, so do payouts, with top awards reaching $100,000, including a $35,000 FLW Phoenix Bonus, for pros and $33,500 Phoenix 518 Pro bass boat (or comparable model) with a 115-horsepower Mercury outboard plus $5,000 for co-anglers at 260 boats, with awards extending through 65th place. The Strike King Angler of the Year in each division receives $5,000 and the Co-angler of the Year in each division earns $2,000. Complete payout details are listed below.
Registration for the 2021 Toyota Series will open in early November. Rules and registration dates will be announced soon.

Flat Worms, Smallmouth Hair, and Toyota Bonus Bucks for John Cox
In a sport filled with ever-changing variables, John Cox, whose current momentum is hotter than Friday night fish fry grease, knows two things for certain – smallmouth bass eat Berkley PowerBait Maxscent worms, and it absolutely pays to register for Toyota Bonus Bucks.
In fact, his wife Melissa will tell you about the goodness of Bonus Bucks too. “It’s a great program, it’s my job to make sure we get the registration paperwork filled-out, and track whether we won the Bonus Bucks following each event,” she said with a grateful smile, despite their disappointing third place finish after her husband lead the Bassmaster Elite Series’ first three competition days at Lake St. Clair.
For a family that had just missed-out on the $100,000 top prize, you could not have asked for a more pleasant and appreciative family than Cox’s crew immediately following St. Clair’s conclusion. John was even cool enough to take off his hat for the family photo and have a little fun with what Bassmaster emcee Dave Mercer calls “Smallmouth hair don’t care!”
“Not only did owning a Tundra pay us the Bonus Bucks at St. Clair, but the awesome power of this Tundra was appreciated big-time this week when towing my Crestliner in and out of all the aggressive Detroit area traffic,” said Cox. “I’ve got 102,000 miles on this Tundra and I absolutely love it. The Bonus Bucks program definitely helps make a ton of truck payments.”
And with that conclusive statement of appreciation, the young family from DeBary, Florida climbed back in the Tundra and headed nine hours to the next tournament in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin – where in continued red hot fashion – you guessed it — Cox took the early tournament lead using a Berkley PowerBait Maxscent Flat Worm before finishing third, and collecting yet another Bonus Bucks check.
Much like the Cox family, you too can cash-in on Toyota Bonus Bucks. You just have to own or lease a 2016 or newer Toyota Truck, sign up free for Bonus Bucks, and be the highest finishing registered participant in one of the hundreds of tournaments supported by the Program.
