A Whole Lotta Cool News From Power Tack
Brian Clark joins Power Tackle Pro Staff
Power Tackle has signed on Bassmaster Elite Pro Brian Clark to our team. Brian’s rookie year was last year in 2008 and he ended up in 3rd place for Rookie of the Year. Brian, his wife Heather, and their 2 sons, Ryder and Brodie live in Haltom City, near Ft. Worth. Before Brian started his career fishing, he was a professional bull rider and member of the PRCA and PBR, so he is no stranger to stiff competition. Brian is bringing his love of competition and desire to win to the BASSMASTER Elite Group and making a name for himself already. Brian quoted, “I am proud of all of my sponsors that I have now, but I am especially excited about joining Power Tackle.
Brian states, "It’s my desire to get involved with a company whose goal is to grow and succeed with me, and I believe that co owners Tim Reneau and Chris Jaynes’ commitment to producing the highest quality rod you can buy and their dedication to their Pro Staff is just the kind of company that I want to be involved with.” We here at Power Tackle could not be more excited.
Mark Menendez and Brian Clark both will be fishing exclusively with our lineup of Power Tackle rods in all of the Elite tournaments this year, so we are looking for big results and the first stop on the tour is right here at our home on Lake Amistad…The Battle On The Border, March 12-15.

2008 Braggin' Board Winner!
Remember we said to send your “braggin” pics in each month with your big fish and a Power Tackle Rod…and we would pick a winner each month and send them a free t-shirt…and at the end of the year, we would randomly select an overall winner that will receive a free Power Tackle rod of their choice??? Well, that time has come and we have selected a fishing couple to receive the free rod…Lawrence and Suzanne Hiller from Eagle Pass. Lawrence was featured in our April braggin board and Suzanne was in our May issue. They are already Power Tackle rod owners so they will be adding a new model to their collection. Congrats! And don’t forget to send us your “braggin” photos!
