2012 AOY champ joins Livingston lineup

Livingston Lures picks up another angler- and this time it's the 2012 AOY winner Brent Chapman.

Lake Quivira, Kan. – 2012 Elite Series Angler of the Year, Brent Chapman, has joined his good friend and competitor, Randy Howell, on the Livingston Lures pro staff. In addition to winning two Bassmaster events in 2012, Chapman has earned over $1.5 million during his eight year Bassmaster career. 

Chapman spent several days at the Livingston Lures headquarters in Texas last week.  He returned to Kansas with a very positive outlook on Livingston as a company, and is excited about the direction they are headed. Chapman stated, “Livingston Lures is an impressive company. It’s obvious that they know how to run a business and they do everything 110% without exception. I had no idea how fantastic the company and the people at Livingston were until I got down there and saw their business in action. Once I had the chance to sit down and see and hear what they are all about, it was an easy decision to join the Livingston Team.”

Fred Battah, CEO of Livingston Lures, is pleased to have Chapman join the Livingston team. Battah said, “We’ve kept a close eye on the tournament scene for a while and Chapman stood out to us. Not only is he an exceptional angler, he’s also a class act and that’s important to us here at Livingston.  He’s also passionate about fishing, just like we are.  We know as the 2012 Angler of the Year Brent had a lot of opportunities with hard bait companies, and for him to decide to join the Livingston team means a lot. We know that working with Brent, and our other Elite Series pros, we are going to add products to our lineup that will improve any angler’s fishing.”

Livingston Lures offers a full line up of hard baits that have extensive proprietary vibration and sound technology built into them. Vibration and sound are tools many pros have started using as tools to help catch more fish. Livingston’s sound and vibration technology are beyond what any other lure company is offering today.  What I’m excited about is taking this cutting edge technology and building premium tour level baits around it.  It’s something that I am sure will give me a competitive advantage in the near future.”

Livingston Lures is a Supporting Sponsor of the 2013 Bassmaster tournament trail. You can see their full line of products and learn more about their cutting edge technology at the Bassmaster Classic expo as well as events within all the Bassmaster circuits: Bassmaster Elite Series, Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Opens, B.A.S.S.
