Riot Baits has renewed its partnership with Ramapo College's Fishing Team for the 2016 FLW College Tournament Season.

"We are psyched to be working with Ramapo College again in 2016”, says Matt Stark, owner of Riot Baits. “Its fishing team has consistently been a top performer on the FLW College Fishing Tour and the members are all exemplary ambassadors for the sport of fishing. The wealth of fishing talent within such a small student body is impressive. Members of the team have provided Riot consistent input regarding their needs and feedback on existing products, which has helped us dial in our expanding product line.”

The Ramapo team, which was started in 2010 by two alumni, has grown to 18 members and has amassed an impressive record, with four FLW first-place finishes and 16 top 10 finishes, nine of which were top 5. It has also managed to qualify for the Nationals five times, or every year since it joined the FLW program.

"Having already seen the benefits that its baits brought to the team last year, the Ramapo College Bass Fishing Team is excited to work with Riot Baits again," adds Andrew Annuzzi, Ramapo's fishing team captain. "Riot Baits continues to grow its product line and is becoming a top name in the fishing industry."

This year Riot is releasing several new products including a soft plastic creature bait, coined The Relic. For more information about Riot Baits’ complete line of products, visit www.riotbaits.com
