Fitzgerald Rods Signs Bassmaster Elite Series Pro Cliff Prince
Belleview, FL – Building on a solid year at all levels, Fitzgerald Rods gains another Bassmaster Elite Series Angler, signing Pro Cliff Prince for the 2016 season. “I’m fishing against the best in the world – fishing the Elites”, says Prince, “and I think Fitzgerald has one of the best rods on the market. To fish against these guys (on the Elite Series), you have to be with the best, and putting a Lew’s reel on a Fitzgerald rod – I don’t see how I can get any better”.
The Palatka, FL Pro has been a staple of the Bassmaster Elite Series since 2012, qualifying for the Bassmaster Classic in 2013 and 2015. “I like to catch them however they are biting” Prince explains, “coming from the St. John’s river has made me pretty versatile. I’ve had to fish docks, shell bars, offshore, grass – the river is a versatile fishery, and that’s helped me be able to be as competitive as I have been on the Elites.”
2016 will see Cliff continue to compete on the Elite Series as well as the Bassmaster Southern Opens, where the versatility of the Fitzgerald Rods line will be a major asset. “When Fitzgerald signed Bryan Thrift, Bryan and Trevor (Fitzgerald) got together and designed some rods that fit Bryan, who is strong finesse fisherman” says Prince. “I already knew that Fitzgerald has some of the best Flippin’ sticks out there, and I know Bryan’s rods are some of the most versatile rods out there, so I just couldn’t go wrong”.
Fitzgerald Rods looks forward to Cliff utilizing Fitzgerald Rod’s versatile line up of rods to compete on the Bassmaster Elite Series in 2016.

Chapman Battles Upstate New York Angler in Episode 8
Episode Eight of Pro vs. Joe, presented by Realtree Outdoors, Elite Series pro Brent Chapman takes on Upstate New York angler Greg Bent on Conesus Lake. The glacier created lake is the westernmost of New York’s popular fisheries referred to as the Finger Lakes. The lake is located in Livingston County, 86 miles east of Buffalo and 30 miles south of Rochester, New York. The narrow eight mile long lake runs south to north, and is home to both smallmouth and largemouth bass along with numerous other fish species including panfish. Northern pike, walleye, yellow perch, bluegills, pumpkinseed and brown bullhead.
The 38 year old Bent, a resident of West Webster, New York, was among the first to challenge Chapman via the ProvsJoe.com website last June when the show was originally announced. Chapman, who won his 2012 Angler of the Year Title on Lake Oneida, a few hours east was excited about the challenge, “I love fishing in New York, and I was excited to see what another Finger Lake has to offer. Greg is a good guy and Conesus is a beautiful place. We ran into some tough fishing conditions and heavy boat traffic, but we had a lot of fun out there.”
The duo made the most of the tough fishing conditions and heavy boat traffic and battled to the last cast. Did Bent have what it takes to beat the Elite Series Champion, watch the show and find out now.
