BENTON, Ky. – Major League Fishing (MLF), the world’s largest tournament-fishing organization, announced today that WIX Filters, a global manufacturer and distributor of quality filters designed to exceed performance demands, has signed on as an Official Sponsor of Major League Fishing and been named the Presenting Sponsor of Bass Pro Tour U.S. Air Force Stage Five at the Chowan River Presented by WIX Filters.

Founded in 1939 in an old cotton mill in Gastonia, North Carolina, WIX Filters now has 11 facilities in eight different countries and manufactures more than 210 million filters annually. An industry leader in filtration product line breadth, WIX revolutionized the filtration industry, turning the filter market upside down and quickly becoming the industry standard with the invention and patent of a spin-on oil filter design.

“WIX Filters has a long history of supporting fishing enthusiasts through our extensive lines of filtration products for boats, personal watercraft, off-road vehicles and the trucks that pull them,” said Tina Davis, Senior Marketing Manager for WIX Filters. “Major League Fishing provides an ideal platform for WIX Filters to reach an audience of fiercely self-reliant do-it-yourselfers who value the craftsmanship, quality and performance that we deliver.”

The agreement provides significant brand exposure on the MLFNOW! livestream and across all MLF platforms, including the Bass Pro Tour, Tackle Warehouse Invitationals, Toyota Series Presented by Phoenix Boats, Phoenix Bass Fishing League Presented by T-H Marine, Abu Garcia College Fishing Presented by YETI and MLF High School Fishing Presented by Tackle Warehouse circuits.

For 85 years, WIX Filters has been committed to continued product innovations and development to support its customers. From lawnmowers to locomotives, WIX has the right filter for everyone.

“We are thrilled to welcome WIX Filters into the growing list of Major League Fishing sponsors,” said Chris Bork, MLF Vice President of Sponsorship. “WIX provides the coverage, quality and service anglers need, and its dedication to innovation and performance partners perfectly with the mission and goals of MLF.”
