FLW tour pro Matt Herren has been fishing professionally for the last four years.

Kelly is a big stick, big fish fanatic learning the ropes on Texas’s big fish lakes. Kelly has more big bass titles than any touring pro and is a great lure innovator. Kelly knows what the big fish eat and will be developing those baits for TABU Tackle.
Dave Lefebre

FLW Tour pro Dave Lefebre is a one of the hottest anglers on Tour the last few years. Dave has been a full-time touring pro for four years and has notched 21 top-ten finishes, 3 wins, and a 2006 FLW Series angler of the year title.

Michael has been on the forefront of developing some ICAST best-of-category winners over the past four years and brings a wealth of knowledge, not only on product design, but manufacturing and sales also.
Fred Roumbanis
Auburn, California
Fred Roumbanis is the latest addition to the Tabu Tackle team. Fred is a native Californian where he spent many of his 29 years fishing the West Coast big bass factories like the California Delta. Fred just completed his sophomore season on the Bassmaster Elite series, where he finished 12th in angler-of-the-year standings, won the Toyota Moving Forward Award, and won the Bassmaster American Major at High Rock Lake. Outside of his fishing abilities, Fred brings a wealth of knowledge of the fishing industry, where he was employed with some of the biggest names in the sport before he became a full-time pro. Fred’s knowledge of the industry, along with his big-fish catching abilities, make him a perfect fit with the Tabu Tackle Team.
