Josh Polfer, a B.A.S.S. Federation Nation qualifier from Nampa, Idaho, wrapped both his vehicle and boat. His primary wrap sponsors are his employer in Idaho, Hayden Homes, and Skeeter, Yamaha Pro Fishing and Dry Creek Outfitters. He has several secondary sponsors.

“It’s exciting to have a wrap on both my truck and boat,” Polfer said. “Each one of my sponsors has stepped up to help me this past year through all the B.A.S.S. Federation Nation events that led to the Classic.”

Brandon Palaniuk’s new boat wrap is “a mix,” he said. Yamaha Pro Fishing and Skeeter are his main wrap sponsors, followed by Abu-Garcia and Rapala in terms of prominence on the design. Palaniuk, a Bassmaster Elite Series pro from Rathdrum, Idaho, also plans to debut a new truck wrap at the Classic.

Elite pro John Crews of Salem, Va., has a new design that showcases his new company, Missile Baits. He also retained SPRO as a major wrap sponsor.

Fletcher Shryock, a Classic and Elite Series rookie from Newcomerstown, Ohio, has joined the Berkley team, along with fellow Elite rookies Brandon Card of Caryville, Tenn., and Michael Simonton of Fremont, Ohio.
