"The NABC is part of a rich history of successful tournament trail operations from North American Media Group, attracting ‘top notch' anglers-and we're excited to continue our partnership heading into the bass circuit's second season," said Barret Dickinson, MarineTech National Sales Manager.

"This is the perfect medium to showcase our Angler's Pal line of precision machined-aluminum and stainless steel electronics mounts, trolling motor stabilizers and rod holders," he continued. "Angler's Pal parent company, MarineTech Products Inc., is located in White Bear Lake, Minnesota, which means many of the participating anglers are our neighbors, and we're ‘all about' supporting our local friends."

Founded in 2000 with a single proven product line, NAVIGATOR engine-mounted electric trolling motors, MarineTech has grown to six well-established marine product brands including Panther, Detwiler, EZ-Steer, Angler's Pal and TrollMaster, offering boaters hundreds of quality, innovative products.
