“We are also excited to announce that Fuel Me is developing an MLF-branded fuel card that will help support the league, while giving 1.5% cash back to each fan with every purchase – a win-win for all involved. We are eager to kick off the 2022 season and can’t wait to see where this new relationship with MLF takes us.”

The sponsorship includes commercials and graphic billboards in Bass Pro Tour and Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit programming on Discovery Channel, CBS Sports Network and the Sportsman Channel, as well as a strong brand presence within both professional tours’ in-show and on-site opportunities. The agreement also provides significant brand exposure on the MLF NOW! livestream for both tours and prominent logo placement on angler jerseys, competition official jerseys and boats during the General Tire Heavy Hitters All-Star Event in Tyler, Texas, Apr. 9-14.
