“Chris is a full-time bass fishing guide and aspiring professional angler. He is setting his sights on the Bassmaster Weekend Series as well as the Bassmaster Opens. It will be great to watch these two this year and see how they progress through the year,” Hagood said.
“It’s a great company to work with,” said Jackson. “Federated Auto Parts knows what they want and this is evident with more than 4,400 outlets across the country. I’m really proud to represent such a company in the sport of bass fishing.”
“I am just amazed how fast Federated Auto Parts has grown and it is exciting to start working with them now,” said West. “Representing a company like Federated Auto Parts not only will be a pleasure, but a lot of fun as well. As a weekend angler it is exciting to be on a team with a company that sponsors the likes of NASCAR drivers Kenny Schrader and Kenny Wallace. Now if spring would just get here -- I’m so ready to get on the water.”
