Matt Herren
Trussville, Alabama
FLW tour pro Matt Herren has been fishing professionally for the last four years. Matt has been one of the most consistent anglers on tour over this time, with 4 top-ten finishes, one win, and over $400,000 in career earnings. Matt is also the first of many to win a tour level event using a TABU Tackle product. Matt’s ability to catch fish anywhere, anytime, and in any conditions make his knowledge of lure design and modifications invaluable to TABU Tackle. Matt is also the only angler running a TABU Tackle wrapped boat for the 2007 season.
