Strong FLW Season for Garmin Pro Team Anglers

[Garmin]

<p>Any time you put great talent with great electronics, you should expect great results. Garmin pro team anglers put their Garmin marine electronics with exceptional <a href="http://bit.ly/1ST6gGr" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mapping</a> and sonar to great effect this season, winning 50% of the FLW tournaments in 2017. <a href="http://bit.ly/2m5hazJ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mark Rose took the first two tournaments of the season at Lake Guntersville and Lake Travis</a>. Scott Martin won at Lake Cumberland, Bryan Schmitt won on the Mississippi River and Jason Lambert captured a victory at the Costa Central tournament on Kentucky Lake.</p>

<p><em>âGarmin <a href="http://bit.ly/2gKk8Il" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Panoptix</a> helped me accomplish something this season that has never been done before in FLW history: winning back-to-back FLW Tour events. I donât even like talking about Panoptix because I donât want any of my competition to have it…â</em><br />â Mark Rose</p>

<p>In addition to those impressive victories, Garmin pro team anglers comprised almost a third of the field that qualified for the Forrest Wood Cup. Garmin also made a strong showing in the final tournament at Lake Murray, with Anthony Gagliardi capturing 5^th, Scott Martin taking 8^th, Andrew Upshaw 15^th, Cody Meyer 18^th, Shane Lehew 19^th, Darrel Robertson 22^nd and Bryan Schmitt 25^th.</p>

<p><em>âPanoptix was key for me in several events this year, including the Forrest Wood Cup. Catching suspended fish can be tough sometimes, but seeing individual fish and being able to match the depth of my retrieve to those fish with Panoptix is a game changer. I weighed in numerous fish this year that in years past I have never had a chance to catch.â</em><br />â Anthony Gagliardi</p>

<p>Overall, six Garmin pro team anglers finished in the top ten for Angler of the Year points: Andy Morgan in 2^nd, Anthony Gagliardi in 3^rd, Cody Meyer in 6^th, Shane Lehew in 7^th, Bryan Schmitt in 8^th and Mark Rose in 10^th.</p>

<p><em>âI found every one of my âcane pilesâ with my Panoptix sonar at the Cup. I could literally see the bass in each one and could tell how many were there. It allowed me to be super efficient and deadly with my cast.â</em><br />âScott Martin</p>
