MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- FLW, the
world's largest tournament-fishing organization and no-contract
cell phone leader Straight Talk Wireless, announced today that
Straight Talk Wireless will return as a sponsor for the 2013
season.
The Straight Talk Wireless brand will receive exposure across
all of FLW's platforms, including its tournaments and Expos,
multiple websites, FLW Bass Fishing magazine and the "FLW"
television show on NBC Sports Network. "FLW" is broadcast Sundays
in high-definition (HD) to more than 559 million households
worldwide, making it the most widely distributed weekly
outdoors-sports television show in the world. The sponsorship will
give Straight Talk Wireless the chance to speak to fans on a
grassroots level.
A Straight Talk Wireless spokesperson said: "We understand the
power of FLW and know that our no-contract $45 a month unlimited everything service on the
nation's four leading wireless networks resonates with its huge fan
base. We look forward to another exciting season."
Straight Talk Wireless will again be represented on the Walmart
FLW Tour by two of the most consistent anglers in the sport of
professional bass fishing — Scott
Canterbury of Springville,
Ala., and J.T. Kenney of
Palm Bay, Fla.
Canterbury, entering his sixth year as a pro, has already
accumulated more than $660,000 in
career winnings and has 28 career top-10 finishes, including a
second-place finish at the 2012 Forrest Wood Cup. He'll be looking
to build upon his fantastic 2012 campaign, and with three of the
six FLW Tour events of 2013 within 200 miles of his home, pundits
are looking for big things from him in 2013.
Kenney enjoyed a banner year in 2012, finishing the year ranked
eighth in the Angler of the Year race and becoming only the 24th
angler in FLW history to surpass $1
million in career winnings. He is entering his 12th year
fishing as a professional on the FLW Tour, with 35 top-10 finishes
and three tournament wins, and the former MotoCross racer will be
looking to add to his impressive resume and qualify for his
seventh-straight Forrest Wood Cup.
