With the recent addition of Cabela’s, the World’s Foremost Outfitter of hunting, fishing and outdoor gear, as title sponsor of the Texas Team Trail, excitement is growing over the newest bass tournament trail in a state well known for exceptional fishing.
Cabela’s joins an ever-widening list of supporters with a multiyear commitment as title sponsor. With large purses and incredible sponsor bonuses, the new Texas Team Trail presented by Cabela’s touts the highest team payouts in Texas. The first event is set to begin on Sam Rayburn Lake in March 2012.
“Cabela’s is a great addition to our list of sponsors,” said Mike Hastings, Tournament Director. “They are a well-respected leader in the fishing industry with a long and storied history of furthering the growth of our sport. We’re thrilled to have them as title sponsor of the Texas Team Trail.”
