Former National Guard FLW College Fishing angler Andrew Upshaw recently announced a sponsorship with Wave plastics. Upshaw, a 2012 Bassmaster Classic qualifier, is competing on the Walmart FLW Tour this season.
Fishing for Stephen F. Austin, Upshaw and partner Ryan Watkins won the 2011 College Fishing Southern Conference Championship on Lake Somerville. That qualified him to fish the upcoming National Guard FLW College Fishing National Championship on Lake Murray.
Upshaw called his deal with Wave a real opportunity.
“I’m proud to be with Wave,” said Upshaw, a native of Hemphill, Texas. “They’re one of the most innovative lure companies in the country. Their Super Soft Series of baits are first-class to begin with and they’re working with us (their pros) to make them even better. I’m looking forward to a long and successful relationship with them.”
