It has been a good year for Lowrance Anglers.
Edwin Evers won the Bassmaster Classic Championship – the fifth consecutive Lowrance angler to win bass fishing’s biggest prize – John Cox won the FLW Forrest Wood Cup and Drew Benton took home Bassmaster Elite Rookie of the Year honors.
The common denominator? HDS Gen3 multifunction displays.
HDS Anglers won eight of a combined 15 tournaments on the Bassmaster Elite and FLW Tours in 2016 and – based only on earnings of the Elite Top 12 and FLW Top 10 finishers – racked up nearly three times the winnings of users of the next marine electronics brand. HDS users have won 10 of the last 17 Bassmaster Elite tournaments.
