Chapman will exclusively use KastKing fishing rods, fishing reels, KastKing braid fishing line, and other products while competing on the Major League Fishing Bass Pro Tour in 2019.

“I am so excited to have KastKing in the boat with me for competition,” said Chapman. “The Speed Demon rods and reels are incredible. They have already proven themselves to me. When you compete against the best bass anglers in the world, it is critical to have the best equipment.

It feels good to work with a brand that can deliver on their slogans; KastKing Keeps Fishing Fun and Affordable Innovation by making great fishing tackle affordable and easily available to anglers everywhere at almost any fishing budget level. I look forward to working with KastKing to develop additional pro-level fishing gear and more products that recreational anglers and tournament anglers can enjoy and benefit from.”

“We are delighted that Brent Chapman chose KastKing as his fishing rod, fishing reel and fishing line sponsor. It speaks volumes for the advancements that KastKing has made in a very short time to provide exceptional quality and value,” says Tom Gahan Chief Marketing Officer at KastKing. “Given Brent’s long list of major accomplishments that includes 14 trips to the Bassmaster Classic and an AOY title, it’s fair to say he can be selective in deciding what brand or brands to sign with. We are honored that Brent quickly saw the ability of KastKing fishing tackle to perform at the demanding levels of pro tournament fishing.”

In 2019 Chapman will compete in the Major League Fishing Bass Pro Tour with 80 other top-ranked professional anglers that brings a strong schedule of television programming across six networks.

Altogether, Major League Fishing will air more than 850 hours of television programming in addition to the more than 350 hours of live coverage that will be streamed on majorleaguefishing.com…”

Chapman has already qualified for the B.A.S.S. 2019 Bassmaster Classic taking place in Knoxville, Tennessee in March. He joins 2018 Kayak Bass Fishing National Champion Dwayne Taff on the KastKing team.
