Birge Teams up with Tightlines UV
Tightlines UV has signed a long-term sponsorship contract with Walmart FLW Tour pro Zack Birge. The 2014 Rayovac FLW Series champion and a rookie on the Tour, the Oklahoma pro joins team members Richard Peek and Jeff Sprague on the “UV” team.
Tightlines UV (TightlinesUV.com) manufacturers UV soft-plastic fishing lures and is the world leader in products that take into account the vision of fish.
“I’m always looking for tools that give me an edge on the water, and after fishing these soft baits with the patented UV technology, I realized that Tightlines UV has definitely raised the bar,” Birge says. “As with all of my sponsorship deals, I want to build long-term relationships with brands I believe in and associate my name with, so I’m excited to have Tightlines UV on board for the long haul, and I appreciate their support of my career.”
“Tightlines UV is ultra-excited to formally announce that Zack is on our team,” says Brett Ware, president of Tightlines UV. “Zack is no doubt one of the best young professional anglers on the tour, and with his excitement about our vision technology, we truly feel that it’s the chemistry for success on the ever-competitive Walmart FLW Tour. His tournament wins in the past few years are hard to ignore, and we love being a part of providing him the ‘UV’ ammunition in his boat – an edge over other tournament anglers focusing on old scent technology.
“The fishing industry is about to fully understand how our patented ‘UV’ technology is already playing a part of many top tackle brands. While U.S. companies tend to be slow in product development, it’s the Japanese premium brands that have migrated over here that truly understand our vision technology. Many touring anglers are followers to a few select leaders on the Tour. Zack’s non-follower, untraditional approach – and his youthful desire to be the best – is 100 percent what Tightlines UV is all about.”
