The General Tire Team Invitational features nine MLF Cup anglers, including REDCREST 2022 Champion Bobby Lane, competing as three, three-man teams.
Team Ferguson:

The anglers on each team wear headsets that have them in constant communication with their teammates. This concept allows each team to work together and strategize in real-time on the water; shifting baits, techniques, patterns or areas as needed and creating a new type of excitement and drama.
