Wednesday, February 10, 2021
Already the choice of anglers everywhere who just want to have fun regardless of whats biting, Ugly Stik is taking its legacy for durability and accessibility to the 2021 Bassmaster Elite Series with the addition of Matt Robertson as the brands first pro-staff member.
The self-proclaimed working man said he feels right at home being the first pro to represent the brand known for being tough as nails and ideal for any angler.
Im a regular guy working my way from the bottom to the top, and I did it using the working mans gear. To be the first Ugly Stik Pro, to represent all the working people out there and be on the Bassmaster Elite Series using the working mans rod, its an honor, Robertson said. After the excitement that Ugly Stik has brought me and millions of anglers, Im here to prove that an Ugly Stik can not only be your first rod, it can be your last, too.
