FLW Tour pro Clent Davis adds Mister Twister® as his title sponsor for 2015. The fourth-year pro, and 2012 Rookie of the Year said, “I’m looking forward to great things with Mister Twister®. They have been a big part of my success in years past and will
continue to be for years to come.”

Mister Twister®, the original manufacturer of the Curly Tail® Grub, is committed to producing baits that catch more fish, more often. “Utilizing the experience and dedication of Clent will go a long way to helping Mister Twister® live up to its promise,” says Mister Twister® Communications Director, Kurt Mazurek. “Plus, Clent’s style of fishing is a perfect match for us. This guy really knows how to catch bass on soft plastic baits.”

A couple of Davis’ favorite Mister Twister® baits include the The Flip’n OUT and the brand new Magnum SinSation. “Those two have become go-to baits for me on tournament days. That Magnum SinSation works whether you’re flippin’ heavy cover in six-inches of water or dragging it on a football jig off channel ledges 20-feet deep. The Flip’n OUT is hard to beat for punching mats. The little Twister Curly Tails® on the sides really set it apart from other baits in that category. I’m also really excited about a new lure I’ve been working on with Mister Twister®, that will be out in early Spring 2015. I can’t wait to show everyone. It’s going to be big!”

Mister Twister® is enthusiastic about the future with Clent Davis. “We really like what Clent adds to the Mister Twister® team. He’s a good communicator and a team player who shares our passion for bass fishing. We’re proud and excited to have him on board,” said Mazurek.

Follow Davis as he begins his fourth season with the FLW Tour on Lake Toho in March. In addition, he’ll compete in the B.A.S.S. Southern Opens starting in early January at Lake Toho and the FLW Rayovac Series on Lake Okeechobee. For more information on Clent Davis, please visithttp://www.facebook.com/Clent.Davis

GRASS VALLEY, Calif. (Jan. 3, 2015) – Top This (Premier Accessory Outfitters) today announced  a sponsorship agreement for 2015 with FLW Tour Pro Kevin Stewart of Elk Grove, California.  This is the 4th consecutive year these two have combined forces.  Top This (Premier Accessory Outfitters) will remain Kevin’s title sponsor.

Kevin Stewart has been fishing competitively on the west coast for years in a quest to become one of the nation’s best anglers.  In 2013 Kevin made the move towards his longtime dream to compete on a national level with the FLW Tour.  Two years of planning to compete across the country was crucial to the success of such a venture.  “I made every effort to develop a plan that would take me into my first 2 years of competition” says Kevin.  As a small business owner he realized making a business plan for competitive fishing would prove to be as important as developing one for any business.

“I could not take on such an endeavor without the complete support of  my family and my sponsors. I  wish I could express into words how thankful I am of all the great people that surround and support me”, says Kevin. His heartfelt appreciation for all his supporters could not go unnoticed.

The company supporting Kevin, Top This (Premier Accessory Outfitters) is a retail store in Grass Valley, California. specializing in outfitting vehicles .  With such a wide variety of products available, Top This equips everything from Trucks, SUV’s, Jeeps, Cars, Boats and Recreational Vehicles.  “We have something for everyone from the best manufacturers in the industry.” says Chuck Kavros,  President of Danisti Inc., the parent company of Top This.

Gary Yamamoto Custom Baits, a legendary manufacturer of high performance fishing tackle, announced today that they have added Ohio pro Fletcher Shryock to an already loaded pro staff. Shryock qualified for the Elite Series in his first attempt and 2015 will be his fourth year on the senior B.A.S.S. circuit.

“Fletcher brings an ‘X Games’ edge combined with a down to earth personality,” said GYCB VP of Operations Ron Colby. “In just a few years on tour, he’s proven that he can catch fish across the country and work closely with both sponsors and fans.”

Shryock won the second Bassmaster event he competed in, the 2011 Southern Open on North Carolina’s Lake Norman, thereby qualifying for the 2012 Bassmaster Classic on the Red River. He’s generally considered to be a northern smallmouth expert, as evidenced by his 2^nd place finish at the final 2014 Bassmaster Northern Open, held on Lake St. Clair, but he has also notched top finishes on southern impoundments and rivers and loves to flip and throw a frog.

“I don’t think there’s an angler out there who doesn’t have Yamamoto soft plastics in his boat,” Shryock said. “Everyone knows that the Senko is a game changer. What I’m really excited about is the new hard bait line. It’s cool to be in on the ground floor of something like that with a company that is known for its quality.”

Although Shryock, who will turn 30 later this year, is relatively new to professional bass fishing, he’s a seasoned athlete who previously competed in the AMA motocross and supercross nationals before a shoulder injury ended that career. He is a prime example of the new breed of bass pro, savvy with social media and personal branding, and a fast learner.

Gary Yamamoto Custom Baits, based in Page, Arizona, makes tournament-tested fishing tackle that can be used effectively by novices and champion anglers alike. The company produces a wide range of products, most notably soft plastics baits such as the Hula Grub and the Senko, two first-of-their-kind lures which remain the standard-bearers for their categories today.

Gary Yamamoto Custom Baits, a legendary manufacturer of high performance fishing tackle, announced today that they have added veteran South Carolina bass pro Davy Hite to an already loaded pro staff. Hite currently fishes the Bassmaster Elite Series tour, but he is one of the handful of pros who have won both the Bassmaster Classic and the FLW Tour Championship.

“I’m proud to add Davy to the list of champions on my team,” said company founder Gary Yamamoto. “I’ve known him for a couple of decades and I know that his skills and insights into product design are consistent with the vision that I have for my company.”

Hite won the FLW Tour Championship (since renamed the Forrest Wood Cup) on the Mississippi River in 1998 and the following year he won the Bassmaster Classic on the Red River, one of eight B.A.S.S. victories in his storied career. Bassmaster Angler of the Year titles in 1997 and 2002 sandwiched those championships.

“In my opinion, the Senko is the best soft plastic ever created,” Hite said. “I’m known as a power fisherman and the Yamamoto lineup plays a role in my continued success. In my 22 year career, I’ve seen a lot of good products, but I still have some ideas about how to make them better and I expect to have the opportunity to do some product development with Yamamoto.”
