Evinrude, a legendary brand that has been America’s leader in innovative outboard engines for more than 100 years, is set to begin its sponsorship of the newest bass fishing tournament trail to hit the state of Texas. With large purses and incredible sponsor bonuses, the new Texas Team Trail is touting the highest team payouts in the state. Set to begin on Sam Rayburn Lake in March 2012, the trail includes a notable and impressive lineup of sponsors.
“The support of Evinrude is extremely important to the Texas Team Trail,” said Mike Hastings, Tournament Director. “Evinrude truly understands the importance of creating a tournament trail that benefits any angler. We’re excited to have them as part of the team and look forward to sharing a world of opportunities for anglers fishing the Texas Team Trail.”
The tournament circuit, designed exclusively for team competition, will begin March 10th, 2012, and will include a total of four qualifying events, plus a year-end Championship. The Texas Team Trail website is already accepting registrations for all events online. The website offers plenty of detail on the circuit, including official rules, tournament structure, payout and incentives.
“This is a tremendous chance for anglers to test their merit against some of the best fishing waters in Texas,” said, Chris Berg, Director of Marketing for BRP’s Evinrude Outboard Engine Division. “It’s just the kind of environment that helps showcase the power and performance of Evinrude E-TEC, and why nothing enhances your experience on the water like an Evinrude E-TEC. We’re excited to help host such a significant series of events.”
The new circuit also includes unprecedented television and overall media coverage, not only within the Lone Star State but across the country as well allowing a national audience to watch the action unfold from each event throughout the season. Airing on multiple networks, the Texas Team Trail will be seen on The Texas Channel, World Fishing Network, Pursuit Channel, as well as the new NBC Sports Network.
Evinrude has been pushing the boundaries of what boat and marine engines can do for more than 100 years. From manufacturing the first detachable row boat engine to setting speed records and building engines and parts for the U.S. military, Evinrude has been among the most trusted names in boating. Today, Evinrude has set its sights on helping consumers to experience more performance, power, and time on the water. BRP’s Evinrude engine line-up now includes engine models from 3.5- to 300 horsepower. All engines are available at Evinrude dealerships worldwide.
