of 70 professional bass, walleye, and crappie fishermen who will be
representing Garmin in tournament circuits across North America,
including the B.A.S.S. Elite Series and FLW Tour.
“For the past several years, Garmin has continued to attract
elite anglers from across the country,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin
vice president of global consumer sales. “They’ve taken notice of
the quality of our products, our innovative technology, and the
reliability of our service in the field, and they’ve made the
decision to switch to Garmin because of that proven track record.
We couldn’t be prouder of the team representing Garmin in the
inland fishing industry and we look forward to celebrating their
many successes this year.”

Dunkin (FLW); Paul Elias (B.A.S.S.); Anthony Gagliardi (FLW); Jeff
