Texas Team Trail had the best schedule this year, the schedule next year looks absolutely amazing, and with the chance to win a boat at every event, and for [Progressive] Team of the Year you just can’t beat it for guys like us. Just want to thank you parents, friends, family, and everyone that kept us on the water all year”.

“This week was all about the deep diving crankbaits and a prototype jig that Tim is working on that will be available in a few weeks. We primarily caught our fish on Strike King 6XDs, 10XDs, a 6th Sense 300DD, and then we never left a spot without tossing the jig in there. It really made a difference on a few bites that anchored our bags both days” .
