TULSA, Okla. (April 10, 2013) – Major League Fishing announced today that Livingston Lures – a maker of exceptional, technologically advanced baits – has signed a multi-year contract to sponsor the league’s Cup and Select events.
“This is a strong commitment from a company within the fishing industry, and we couldn’t be more pleased to welcome Livingston Lures to Major League Fishing now and in the future,” said Major League Fishing General Manager Jim Wilburn. “We have a product in Major League Fishing that is growing stronger in the marketplace every day, and Livingston Lures is a growing company with a great future. This is an excellent partnership.”
Major League Fishing, a partnership between Outdoor Channel and 24 of the world’s best anglers, features made-for-television bass fishing events and utilizes what is considered the most innovative format in competitive fishing. Among those 24 Major League Fishing anglers, four are popular and accomplished Livingston Lures anglers: Jeff Kriet, Byron Velvick, Randy Howell and Brent Chapman.
Major League Fishing is featuring two events this year. The first, the General Tire Summit Cup, recently completed is airing on Outdoor Channel, America’s Leader In Outdoor TV. The second event, the Shell Rotella Challenge Cup, is being broadcast throughout the second quarter 2014.

The San Antonio, Texas-based Livingston Lures’ success has stemmed from the development of a proprietary internal sound chamber that emits a combination of sounds designed to attract fish and trigger aggressive, reactionary strikes. When making contact with water, Livingston Lures baits emit the sound of a distressed baitfish.
“Major League Fishing has captured the imagination of fishing fans across the country. The show presents competitive fishing in a creative, fresh way,” said Livingston Lures CEO Fred Battah. “At Livingston Lures, we’re taking an innovative approach to our sector of the fishing world and a partnership with Major League Fishing seems natural.”
Major League Fishing’s made-for-television events utilize a format that allows anglers to weigh all the “scorable bass” that they catch. The bass are immediately weighed after they are caught then released back into the water. Anglers know where they rank in the standings at all times via real-time leader boards in their boats. The competitors are not allowed to practice before events.
