NPFL Partners with Work Sharp on League’s Most Prestigious Title
WILKESVILLE, Ohio—The National Professional Fishing League (NPFL) is proud to announce a partnership with Work Sharp, a leader and innovator in the cutlery and sharpening industry. The relationship includes extensive branding and content opportunities, including the naming of the NPFL’s Angler of the Year award.
“We’re extremely proud to have Work Sharp as the sponsor of our Angler of the Year program,” says NPFL President Brad Fuller. “AOY is our most coveted title, and it’s earned over the course of an entire season. To earn the gold shield that goes with it, an angler has to stay sharp all season long, and that ties in perfectly with the products and mission that Work Sharp offers and lives by. It’s a terrific fit for us, and we’re looking forward to working with this great American company and to presenting the Work Sharp Angler of the Year award to our sharpest angler in 2026.”
Matt Elliott, Chief Commercial Officer at Work Sharp, adds “We’re thrilled to sponsor the National Professional Fishing League’s Angler of the Year race. As the world’s leader in high-performance knife sharpeners and now also a manufacturer of high-performance knives, we equip dedicated hunters and anglers with the tools they need to stay sharp. This partnership perfectly aligns with our commitment to precision, performance, and preparedness, and with the fans of the sport and their approach to the outdoors.”
