Minn Kota, a manufacturer of electric trolling motors, has renewed its longstanding partnership with FLW Outdoors, the world's largest tournament-fishing organization. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.


“Minn Kota continues to be a key partner of FLW Outdoors. Their commitment to innovation and quality is widely recognized by tournament anglers,” said Kathy Fennel, president, FLW Outdoors Operations Division.


The Minn Kota Fortrex motor will continue to be an integral part of FLW Outdoors tournament equipment in 2011, including the Walmart FLW Tour, according to a release.


Minn Kota, entering its 10th year as a sponsor, will be promoted through a variety of FLW Outdoors media formats, including the weekly “FLW Outdoors” television program on VERSUS, multiple websites, and bass and walleye magazines.


“As the preferred trolling motor of tournament anglers, it is a perfect fit for Minn Kota to continue its longstanding partnership with FLW,” said Judy Douglas, Senior Business Director for Minn Kota. “We are proud to support the FLW community and contribute to the growth of competitive fishing.”
