Kevin Hawk and Owner hooks have partnered for the 2013 season. Hawk is the 2010 Forrest Wood Cup champion and 2012 Bassmaster Southern Open Division Angler of the Year. "Kevin Hawk has joined the Owner Team to kick off the 2013 season. It's a pleasure to be working closely with Kevin, he's a class act and a great fisherman. We are looking forward to watching him have a successful 2013 season on the Elite Series," said Tony Shitanishi, Owner hooks Vice President Said Hawk, "It's an honor to be working closely with Owner hooks this season. Owner hooks is a highly respected company in the fishing industry and they make premier products that I wouldn't be caught without on the water. What I really like about Owner as a company is they're never satisfied. They're always coming out with new hook designs and products for every technique and presentation anglers use on the water. I'm really looking forward to collaborating with them and help bring some new ideas to the table."
