The upcoming FLW Tour events will be the first in the organization’s history with no co-angler division. FLW Tour pros will now be accompanied each competition day by a FLW Tour Marshal.

Marshals can watch, listen and learn, but are not allowed to fish. The same program was implemented on the Bassmaster Elite Series.

FLW recently announced there are still several marshal spots open for the ’Rayburn tournament.

It costs $100 to participate. Marshals will be paired with a different pro each day and be eligible to win as much as $2,500 per event based on their pro’s cumulative weight from the first two days. Marshals also will receive exclusive FLW clothing and be entered in a drawing for a new Ranger bass boat to be given away at the end of the season. To apply for any remaining spots, call 270-252-1000 or contact Ryan.Kirkpatrick@flwfishing.com.
