Professional angler Ken Brodeur is among the top 100 professional BASS anglers in the nation in the exclusive 2007 Bassmaster® Elite Series Tour presented by ESPN and the Bass Anglers Sportsman Society (BASS). During his seven month competitive fishing tour, Loctite® and QuickTite® adhesives from Henkel Corporation will support Brodeur in his efforts to win each tournament. Henkel Corporation first sponsored Brodeur during the 2006 season, and congratulates him for earning two top-10 finishes.

"Within the fishing community, products like Loctite® and QuickTite® instant adhesives are a common sight in the tackle boxes of professional and recreational anglers," explained Brodeur. "They are used as a quick fix for all kinds of unexpected problems. That's why this sponsorship is such a natural fit."

For more than 35 years, Ken Brodeur has fished salt and fresh waters both recreationally and professionally. In December of 2003, he easily captured the amateur title at the 2003 Bassmaster Open Championship held at the Toledo Bend Reservoir in Many, Louisiana. In 2004, Brodeur received his Pro Card from BASS. Brodeur is a native of Niantic, Connecticut.

Brodeur will compete for $11 million in prizes in the Bassmaster Elite Series tournaments held in locations from Texas to California to New York between March and September 2007. All tournaments will air on ESPN2.
