High speeds, tricky weather conditions and early morning risers demand the best LED lighting on the water as well as on the road and their choice has become very clear. Rigid Industries is proud to welcome FLW Tour pros Adrian Avena and Stetson Blaylock to the Rigid Torture Team. Rigid Industries will be Avena’s title sponsor for the 2014 season on the FLW Tour beginning Feb. 6 at Lake Okeechobee in Florida.

“We are very excited to welcome Adrian as part of our Rigid Marine Torture Team,” said Marine Category Manager, Chris Brown. “Having Adrian flying the Rigid flag on the FLW Tour this year is really exciting. He has a bright future ahead of him and we are excited to have him on our team.”

Avena will run a Rigid Industries LED logo’d wrap on his Ford F250 and 2014 Basscat Eyra. Both the truck and boat will feature Rigid Industries lighting front to back including the new Brandon Palaniuk Signature Series Boat Deck Light Kit and new Minn Kota Trolling Motor Mount Light Kit.

Stetson Blaylock took fifth on Lake Eufaula.

Avena has already garnered an impressive record of two wins and eight top 10s in his young career.

“For the past five years, bass fishing has become my passion,” said Avena. “Although I am a relatively young fisherman, I have developed the skills and techniques to compete with the best in bass fishing. While fishing these events, I have learned the hard work and commitment it takes to succeed in this sport.”

In addition to Avena, Rigid is also excited to welcome FLW Tour pro Stetson Blaylock. Blaylock will join Avena in featuring Rigid lights on his Toyota Tundra and his Ranger Boat on the FLW Tour.
