Dec. 1, 2011—Minnetonka, MN—Premier tacklemaker Berkley has pledged to continue its historic partnership with the Cabela’s Masters Walleye Circuit, renewing sponsorship packages for both Berkley Baits and Berkley Trilene for the 2012 tournament season.
“We’re genuinely honored to continue our support of the MWC and its fine anglers, and look forward to a bright future,” said Berkley’s Cody Roswick.
“Likewise, MWC staff and anglers are proud to continue a partnership that began back in 1984, when Berkley signed on as one of the MWC’s founding fathers,” added Cabela’s MWC Executive Director Dan Johnson. “The Circuit trenches continue to be the perfect proving ground for Berkley’s industry-leading products such as Gulp!, PowerBait, Flicker Shad hardbaits and the company’s many great lines. As a testament to Berkley’s product performance, their baits were instrumental in victories at all 10 Cabela’s MWC tournaments this season, including the recent MWC World Walleye Championship.”
Since 1945, Berkley has been at the forefront of the development of premium fishing tackle including revolutionary lines, soft- and hardbaits, leaders, rods and accessories. For details on Berkley products, visit http://www.berkley-fishing.com.
