Notes:
The mission of the MLF Fisheries Management Division (FMD) is to improve the quality of life for bass through research, education, fisheries enhancement and fish care. Minn Kota has extended its Habitat Restoration Projects into the third year with the MLF FMD as habitat restoration continues to be a major priority of fishery agencies across the country.
The products used in this project were selected specifically for their durability and long-term effectiveness as well as their sustainable manufacturing.
