American Baitworks announced that it's added Bass Pro Tour competitor Bryan Thrift and Bassmaster Elite Series anglers Chris Zaldain and Matty Wong to its pro staff.
Thrift will support the company's new BaitFuel Fish Attactant, which launches this spring.
“BaitFuel is by far one of the coolest new products on the market and I can’t say enough incredible things about it,” said Thrift. “I first had the opportunity to use it during a Toyota Series on the St. Lawrence and hands down, BaitFuel got me more bites – catching 40-50 smallmouth a day.
"Bottom line, BaitFuel Fish Attractant works, and I am excited to put it to work this season.”
Zaldain will also represent BaitFuel.
“There’s no doubt that BaitFuel is a game-changer for fishing," Zaldain said. "It’s very effective on both largemouth and smallmouth bass. It consistently gets more bites and has definitively made a difference for me putting more fish in the boat.
BaitFuel was developed based on the science of how fish smell, not humans – it’s water-based and designed to work specifically with fish scent receptors. It works because the science is solid."
Wong, an Elite Series rookie and the 2021 B.A.S.S. Nation National Champion, Wong will employ Freedom Tackle products as well as BaitFuel.
“I’m excited to partner with American Baitworks for my rookie season on the Bassmaster Elite Series," Wong said. “I’m a fishing geek and the technical design of fishing products really matters to me. Having Freedom Tackle products and BaitFuel tied on this season are going be major tools to help me compete at the highest level in the sport.”
