SAN ANTONIO, TX -
Livingston Lures is proud to announce the addition of Tennessee native Clay
Dyer to the Team Livingston roster of national bass pros and fishing
personalities. Dyer, a veteran of various levels of competition on the FLW and
B.A.S.S. circuits, will wear the Livingston colors at the 2015 Southern and
Central Opens, and possibly some select Northern Opens as he pursues his goals
of qualifying for the Bassmaster Elite Series and Bassmaster Classic.
"My dream from childhood has been to fish as a professional angler, and
with the abilities of all the anglers who compete as professionals, we as
tournament anglers are all trying to find ways to put ourselves ahead of the
competition," Dyer said. "The technology that Livingston is applying
to baits with Electronic Baitfish Sounds: EBS Technology™ is making the baits
just as real as whatever the fish are feeding on. It's going to give me an edge
moving forward in my career. I appreciate a company that has the same
standards, beliefs and qualities as my own family, and I'm very proud to be a
member of the Livingston Lures family."
Dyer competed in the FLW Series from 2004 to 2008, the FLW Bass Fishing League
(BFL) in 2005, the Professional Anglers Association (P.A.A.) in 2008, and as a
professional on the FLW Tour from 2006 to 2009. In 2012, Dyer fished his first
B.A.S.S. Southern Open on the Harris Chain of Lakes in Tavares, Fl., and he's
stayed in the Opens ever since, fishing the Southerns
and select Central Opens in 2013 and 2014.
"I'm a shallow-water power fisherman, but I think my versatility is one of
my strengths," Dyer said. "To be competitive at this level, you have
to be able to catch fish in all conditions, and the advanced EBS Technology™
will allow me to be at the top of my game."
In addition to his tournament career, Dyer is recognized as one of the most
inspirational speakers in the country. He routinely spends 200 days a year on
the road, travelling to charity events, churches, schools and outreach groups
throughout the South, speaking about "how to be a champion in life"
and dealing with diversity.
"I'm very excited to have Clay on Team Livingston," said Livingston
Pro & 2014 Classic champion Randy Howell. "He and I have been great
friends for 15 years now, and Clay never ceases to amaze me with his
determination and positive way of life! He'll be a huge asset to Livingston,
and I am thankful to call him a friend and teammate. Clay touches many people's
hearts across the country every year, and anyone who follows Clay will be
motivated to live a more grateful life."
Notes: Dyer has been featured on multiple national media outlets, including
ESPN, Fox, CNN, CBS, Newsweek, USA Today and the 700 Club. Dyer grew up in
Hamilton, Ala., and considers the Tennessee River chain his home waters.
