Bassmaster Elite Series rookie and 2012 Bassmaster qualifier Jamie Horton of Centreville, Ala., has been spending the past several weeks designing his new boat and vehicle wraps.

The wraps will feature six main sponsors: Consolidated Pipe and Supply, Birmingham, Ala.; Airport Marine, Calera, Ala.; Atlas Welding and Supply Co., Tuscaloosa, Ala.; Scott Crump Toyota of Jasper, Ala.; Gone Fishing Sunglasses; and his present employer, Burkes Mechanical in Brent, Ala.

Horton said those six major sponsors will be featured on the outer graphics of the boat and truck wraps. He also has a nice-sized list of sponsors that will appear on his jersey and on other spots of his wrap: NetBait, Carrot Stix, Abu Garcia, Rod Gloves, Dirty Jigs Tackle, Triton, Mercury and Power-Pole.

He’s happy with the strong lineup, noted Horton, who qualified for the Elite Series and Classic by winning the 2011 B.A.S.S. Federation Nation Championship presented by Yamaha and Skeeter Boats.

“I’m very excited to have so much support in my first year,” he said.
