Ranger Boats Signs Multi-Year Deal With FLW (http://www.greatlakesbass.com/tournaments/index.php/2011/12/13/ranger-boats-flw-sign-multi-year-deal)
MINNEAPOLIS (Nov. 9, 2011) – FLW, the world's leading tournament fishing organization, announced today that Ranger Boats, one of America's most iconic brands, has signed a multi-year contract extension as the exclusive boat sponsor of FLW and their premier tournament trails, which include 191 events in 2011.
The tournament-fishing landscape changed dramatically on July 24, 1996, when Jacobs purchased a little-known bass-tournament organization in the small town of Gilbertsville, Ky., renamed it FLW Outdoors after the legendary founder of Ranger Boats, Forrest L. Wood, and signed major corporations as sponsors for the world's most lucrative bass-tournament circuit — the FLW Tour. Ranger Boats, a longtime partner and supporter of tournament fishing, has supported FLW since its inception, making this their 16th year as the official boat of FLW.
