When I’m out on the tournament trail, I need all my equipment to be 100 percent reliable. In addition to rods, reels and lures, that includes my boat. That is why I use Star Tron Enzyme Fuel Treatment every time I fill the tank. Star Tron does a lot more than just stabilize fuel; the special blend of enzymes also helps improve the fuel, so my engine runs strong. What that means is Star Tron helps improve fuel combustibility; a more complete burn of the fuel charge helps ensure easy starts, maximum power and even better fuel economy. I need to get across the lake fast to get to the best spots and fish all day on one tank of gas. Then I need to get back fast in time for weigh-in. Star Tron makes that happen. There’s no time for a tune-up when I’m competing, so I rely on Star Tron to make sure the engine starts easy and runs strong all season long.

Out on the road we use whatever gas we can find when that low fuel light comes on. I use Star Tron so I don’t have to worry about fuel quality. The enzymes help keep the fuel system and engine clean.

Star Tron is not just for the boat motor; I rely on my truck to get to and from the lake, so I use Star Tron in it too, every time I gas up. I put a lot of miles on the truck every tournament season, and it is just as critical as my rods and reels; if I can’t get to the next lake, I can’t win. Just as it does in the boat motor, Star Tron helps make sure my truck starts easy, run smoothly and gets great fuel economy so I get more miles between gas stops.

While I’m on the tournament trail, my bay boat sits in the garage for months at a time. To make sure the engine starts right up when I finally get a chance to do some saltwater fishing, I use Star Tron. The enzyme formula stabilizes gas for up to 2 years. My ATV, chainsaw and lawn equipment also sits unused for months at a time so I dose the gas with Star Tron. Small carbureted engines are especially sensitive to bad gas, but with Star Tron all my gas-powered gear starts right up – no smoke no fuss, no problem.

If you want to spend more time using your boat, truck and toys, use Star Tron every time you fuel them up.
