Team Strike King Introduces Debra Hengst to its National Staff

October 28, 2005 – Collierville, TN – Strike King Lure Company announces the promotion of Debra Hengst from its Regional Pro-Staff to its National team for 2006. Debra Hengst of San Antonio Texas has been a member of Strike King Lure Company’s Regional Pro-Staff for 7 years. In that time she has shown the willingness and determination to make a move to our National Staff. Chris Brown, Pro-Staff Director for Strike King says, “I met Debra 4 years ago at the Classic in Birmingham when she was working the booth for Strike King during the outdoor show. She had willingness to learn and move up the ladder not only in her fishing ability but also in her promotions for Strike King. With the addition of the new Women’s Bass Master Tour in 2006, and with Debra’s desire to be competitive there, we felt like it was a natural fit to move her up to that next level. She has worked very hard for Strike King over the past 7 years both in her fishing and her promotion of Strike King products and we look forward to watching her career grow on the WBT.”

Debra joins the National Team along side 2 other well-known lady Pro’s, Emily Shaffer of Mt. Juliet, TN and Lucy Mize of Ben Lomond, AR.
