• Bobby Garland Crappie TV brings species expertise to new YouTube channel


    Well-known crappie angler Kevin Rogers announced the launch of Bobby Garland Crappie TV on YouTube this week via Facebook Live during his visit to the manufacturing facility in Tulsa, Okla., where the popular Bobby Garland crappie baits are made. Rogers hosts the new channel focused on crappie fishing.


    TULSA, Okla. (March 7, 2018) - Bobby Garland Crappie Baits has just launched a new YouTube channel that further broadens the brand's ongoing commitment to help anglers catch more crappie with expert knowledge, tips and techniques coming from across the country.

    Called "Bobby Garland Crappie TV," the channel is hosted by Kevin Rogers, a well-known crappie angler who earned his recognition through shared passion for the species on social media and from years of success along the national crappie tournament trails.

    New YouTube channel Bobby Garland Crappie TV features Kevin Rogers as host and brings expertise on how to catch the popular panfish with frequent "how to" videos by Rogers and other anglers from across the country.




    Rogers will manage the channel, found at Bobby Garland Crappie TV or by searching Bobby Garland TV on YouTube, where 4 - 6 new how-to videos will be uploaded each month featuring Rogers and other Garland pro staffers and crappie experts during their 2018 outings.

    Rogers, 45, frequently hones his crappie skills on home-lake Truman Reservoir in Missouri. However, his tournament schedule and fondness for other great fishing holes take him to crappie spots throughout the country, often traveling with his dad and tournament partner, Charlie.

    "I grew up fishing with family and it's still my favorite thing to do, whether with my dad, kids or others," Rogers said. "Dad taught me early-on about the thrill of finding and catching crappie, and he's truly one of the best on the species ... that's why you'll hear many call him 'The Professor.'


    "The crappie-fishing community is such a great group and we're all constantly sharing what we know. Talking crappie fishing is almost as fun as the catching and that's why I'm pumped about Bobby Garland TV. We'll be providing information in an entertaining and meaningful manner that will benefit anybody, anywhere who wants to learn more about catching this awesome fish."


    Kevin Rogers (front) acquired his passion and skills for catching crappie from his dad, Charlie. The two are a formidable team along the national crappie tournament trails.


    Chris Lindenberg, owner of Bobby Garland Crappie Baits under the Gene Larew Lures company name, said Rogers was an easy choice.

    "Kevin and Charlie Rogers were really the first pro staffers for the brand beyond Mr. Garland himself and his closest friends, so his knowledge of Garland and his fishing skills make him a great pick as host. His focus for the channel is to provide information that will benefit every age and skill level of crappie angler, from beginner to avid," Lindenberg said.

    Ever since acquiring the Garland crappie brand in 2006, Lindenberg has promised that Garland will always be committed to helping anglers catch more fish through product innovation, quality and education.

    In the young 2018 season to date, Garland pros have already made dozens of instructional presentations at major crappie fishing venues across the country, including the Grizzly Jig Spring Tackle Show, Let's Go Fishing Show, Bass Pro Shops' Crappie Madness events and Crappie University.

    Garland is also running a brand new TV spot for 2018 that is airing on the Major League Fishing "All Angles" television show on Outdoor Channel, and on Barry Stokes' "Fox Sports Outdoors."
