BENTON, Ky. (Oct. 28, 2025) – With bigger payouts, an updated format and a growing list of talented pros, the 2026 Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit Presented by MillerTech is shaping up to be one of the most exciting seasons in the trail’s storied history. Already, 100 anglers have registered for the upcoming campaign – and registration remains open for those eager to fish for six-figure prizes, national television exposure and potential REDCREST qualification.

The enhanced Pro Circuit, which features $100,000 to first place and at least $10,000 to the top 33% of the field, continues to attract both new and returning competitors from across the country. The 2026 season will again consist of six regular-season events, culminating in the Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit Championship on Florida’s Kissimmee Chain of Lakes. The full schedule, announced earlier this year, is available at MajorLeagueFishing.com.

In addition to the largest per-event payouts of any circuit outside the Bass Pro Tour, the 2026 format includes forward-facing sonar limited to a single three-hour period per day, with live MLFNOW! coverage and television broadcasts providing anglers incredible exposure for themselves and their sponsors. Each event winner will automatically qualify for REDCREST 2027, where they’ll compete for the sport’s most prestigious title and a $300,000 top prize.

“The energy and excitement that we’re seeing for the 2026 season is tremendous,” said Kevin Hunt, Senior MLF Tournament Director. “From the veterans returning to chase another title to the young anglers moving up from the Toyota Series, the 2026 field is full of talent and hunger. With the improved payouts and format changes, we are closing in on the 124 angler mark at which time the field will be restricted to pros fishing all six stops, plus Bass Pro Tour anglers. This is shaping up to be an incredible year.”
