DORAL, Fla. — When Edwin Evers hits the water in the Bassmaster Elite Series this year, he will be fishing as a member of Team Mustad.
Heading into his 16th professional season, Evers is one of the most successful and popular anglers in the Bassmaster Elite Series. Evers’ ability to quickly adapt to different fishing conditions and master different species of bass has brought him eight Elite Series titles and 57 Top 10 finishes. His skill, consistency and competitiveness have made him a 14 time Bassmaster Classic qualifier; finishing inside the Top 10 in the Toyota Bassmaster Angler of the Year race four of the past five years.
Aside from his Elite Series accomplishments, Evers was the 2013 Challenge Cup Winner in the Major League Fishing Series, and is also a co-host on “The Bass Pros” television show and video series.
“We are extremely excited to have Edwin join our team,” said Steve Tagami, Mustad sales manager.
“He has built a great career and following with a record of accomplishments that speaks for itself. His personal reputation is top notch, and there is a tremendous amount of mutual respect and appreciation between Edwin and his fan base. He loves to educate, and it really shows in the quality of his seminars, articles and videos. Edwin just gets it done!”
“Fishing against a high level of competition like I do, it is absolutely critical that I am confident in everything I use,” said Evers.
“I have always fished Mustad because I totally believe in the product. The hook is one of the most important parts, if not the most important, of anyone’s fishing equipment, and you can depend on Mustad UltraPoint Hooks to be super strong and stay sharp. It makes a big difference in your day and your season when you don’t have to constantly sharpen or change your hooks.”
To match his versatility, Evers is fishing a wide variety of Mustad UltraPoint Series Hooks featuring 4.3 Stay Sharp Technology, including Mustad UltraPoint Elite Series Treble Hooks and Mustad UltraPoint Grip-Pin Series Soft Plastics Hooks, featuring the Super Strong Grip-Pin Keeper System.
Mustad was founded in 1877, and it is now sold in more than 160 countries.
