The new Zephyr Travel System designed especially for professional bass anglers, and headquartered in Ringgold, Ga., will be unveiled at the Bassmaster Classic in Florida on Feb. 24.
A Ringgold, Georgia business will be making big waves in the professional fishing business this week.
Gary Bean and Taylor Barnes, the owners of Zephyr Travel Systems are headed for the Bassmaster Classic in Kissimmee, Fla. for the grand unveiling of their product.
Their product is a one-of-kind travel system specially designed for professional anglers. It is a Motor Coach and Trailer System built to allow the traveling Pro Angler to have all the conveniences of home in their Zephyr Motor Coach and an enclosed Trailer that stores a Tow Vehicle, Boat, Trailer and a complete Tackle Shop.
The idea of a Motor Coach and Trailer System built for the Pro Angler started one spring afternoon in 2004 when Bean was looking at the new Motor Coach and Trailer that long time friend and World of Outlaws driver Dale McDowell had just purchased for his race team.
Later that same afternoon Mr. Bean was meeting with his friend, Taylor Barnes, and during that meeting Mr. Bean shared his idea of building that same type Motor Coach and Trailer System for the Pro Angler. Mr. Barnes loved the idea and felt that any Pro Angler that traveled to different lakes around the country would see the value of having such a system. After hundreds of hours traveling to meet with builders and Pro Anglers around the country, Mr. Bean and Mr. Barnes made the decision to open a new company called Zephyr Travel Systems, LLC to build the worlds first and only self contained traveling system for Pro Anglers.
BASS anglers Tim Horton and Randy Howell are already signed on as member of their pro staff. Of course the hope is that after their grand unveiling and showing at the Bassmaster Classic, those ranks will grow.
Howell is sponsored by Purolator and his Zephyr Travel System will be a rolling Purolator billboard.
Shannon Gibson with Purolator, said, "the Zephyr Travel System simply gives professional bass fishing the look of a big time sport. Fans and sponsors will see this new product as a must have for the top pro anglers in the future."
That's exactly what Gary Bean and Taylor Barnes are hoping.
