Trusted Power for the Best Anglers in the Game

At Pro-Guide Batteries, we don’t hand out logos lightly. Every angler who runs our batteries does so because they trust them, day in and day out, tournament after tournament. For 2026, we’re proud to introduce a pro staff built on experience, grit, and real-world performance at the highest level of competitive fishing.

From the Bassmaster Elite Series to the Bass Pro Tour and beyond, these anglers depend on one thing above all else: power that doesn’t quit. When livelihoods, titles, and long days on the water are on the line, there’s no room for guesswork at the ramp.

Built on Trust. Proven on Tour.

Our 2026 Pro-Guide Pro Staff represents decades of combined experience, countless top-ten finishes, Bassmaster Classic wins, and thousands of hours on the water. They push equipment harder than anyone, and they choose Pro-Guide because reliability isn’t optional at this level.

These anglers rely on Pro-Guide Lithium and AGM systems to:

• Run high-draw electronics all day

• Power trolling motors through changing conditions

• Deliver confident starts every single morning

This is power engineered for the real world, backed by real people, and trusted by the best in the sport.

Why the Pros Choose Pro-Guide

Our pro staff isn’t looking for flash, they’re looking for confidence. Pro-Guide Batteries are proudly engineered in the U.S., designed in Missouri, and supported by people who answer the phone when you call. With up to a 10-year warranty on select models, these anglers know their power system is one less thing they have to worry about.

That trust carries from tournament boats to weekend rigs, from sunrise launches to long runs back to weigh-in.

A Glimpse Into What Our Pro Staff Is Running This Year

Many of our 2026 pros are running a complete, purpose-built power system designed for reliability under pressure:

• PGM31AGM — A proven AGM starting battery, trusted for dependable ignition and durability day after day

• (2) PGL36VM60 — Dedicated 36V lithium trolling motor batteries, built to deliver consistent thrust and all-day control

• PGL31M235-DP — High-capacity lithium power for electronics and accessories, keeping graphs, pumps, and onboard systems running strong from launch to weigh-in

This balanced setup ensures every system on the boat does its job, no power drops, no second-guessing, no compromises.

Power that doesn’t quit. Trusted by anglers who can’t afford failure.
