Why We’re Powering Media Day at The Champions: “Before Anyone Makes a
Cast”
Media Day is the one day of a tournament nobody makes a cast. It’s the anglers, the cameras and the stories behind the field.
That’s the day we picked. Media Day at The Champions is Powered by MillerTech. It’s the first time the top pros from the Bassmaster Elite Series and the Major League Fishing Bass Pro Tour share the same water, and before anyone launches, they’ll sit down with the media.
Fifteen of them run our batteries.
Watch the laser lay down the logo in the video above. It’s a small way to say thanks to the anglers and the event team, and a keepsake from a historic first year.
That group includes Jacob Wheeler, Dustin Connell and Brent Chapman. Connell is a three-time REDCREST champion who carries a third 36-volt on a quick connect because he’s lived the alternative. That’s the standard of angler in this field.
“The best anglers in the world will be in one room before anyone makes a cast,” said Lester Miller, founder and owner of MillerTech. “A lot of them already count on our batteries to get through a tournament day. Powering Media Day was an easy decision.”
Our batteries do their work where nobody’s filming: the first crank at takeoff, the trolling motor at 2 p.m. after three hours in the wind. What people see is the angler, and Media Day is where the angler talks. For a lot of this field, it’s the most money they’ve ever fished for. We’d rather put our name on that moment than on a logo in the corner of a leaderboard.
Media representatives leave with a limited-edition MillerTech 3LED Rechargeable Flashlight engraved with The Champions WBE logo. It runs on a high-capacity MillerTech lithium-ion battery, puts out 1,500 lumens on high, runs up to 150 hours on its lowest setting and has a built-in fuel gauge.
Every MillerTech battery carries a 10-year warranty, because power should be the one part of the rig an angler doesn’t think about.
Our in-house team is on site all week with daily features on every MillerTech angler in the field, plus a nightly “MillerTech Hard Chargers” ranking of our top three bags.
Media Day is the one day nobody makes a cast. Starting Thursday, they all do, and 15 of them will have MillerTech in their rigging compartment.
