DECKED Welcomes Professional Angler Corey Stranley to the Proteam
OutdoorHub 04.17.14
DECKED, manufacturers of full-sized pickup truck bed storage systems, today announced the addition of Corey Stanley, professional angler and tournament fishermen from Orange, Texas to the DECKED ProTeam. Stanley was selected by DECKED because of his professional fishing background, and his ability to represent the DECKED brand on the FLW Bass Tournament circuit. Stanley’s DECKED system is mounted in his 2012 Ford F250 King Ranch pickup truck, and he credits the system with making him a more efficient angler on the tour.
“There’s no doubt that DECKED has helped me elevate my focus on tour. I’ve put a lot of hard work into becoming a successful professional bass angler, and part of that success is based in how well my truck supports me both getting to tournaments, and getting set up for competition” said Stanley. “DECKED gives me the ability to neatly arrange my core gear and other equipment I need to keep me well-organized on tour so that I can focus on being the best angler week in and week out.”
Stanley has always kept his tackle organized his boat but admits to needing a good system for his vehicle. When he learned about DECKED, he was very excited to get a system and put it to use. “It only made sense to me when it became available,” he said. He stores extra tackle, electrical tools, a floor jack, lug wrench and boat equipment in his DECKED system on tour.
Stanley’s professional fishing career started in 2008. His father introduced him to fishing when he was just 2-years-old and he began fishing competitively in tournaments at age 8. “Going to the lake has always been a big part of what my family does and has always kept us close. My competitive nature has led me to higher-level tournament series.”
“The crew at DECKED is stoked to have Corey on our ProTeam” said Lee Roquet, VP of Marketing. “After a few conversations, I knew that Corey was the kind of person we wanted to represent our growing brand.” Stanley will be attending the following events with his DECKED system:
- April 24-27: Sealy Outdoors Big Bass Splash – Lake Sam Rayburn
- May 10: American Bass Anglers Weekend Series – Lake Sam Rayburn
- May 15-18: Sealy Outdoors Big Bass Splash – Lake Toledo Bend
