Major League Fishing announced schedules for the 2022 Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit and the 2022 Toyota Series at a live press event held Thursday at the International Convention of Allied Sportfishing Trades (ICAST).

The 2022 season will culminate with the Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit Title, in which 50 anglers will qualify - the top 48 finishers in the Pro Circuit Angler of the Year standings along with the reigning 2021 TITLE Champion and the 2021 Angler of the Year.

"Our team has put together a pair of great schedules that I know will have our fans and anglers excited - a nice mix of some of our historic venues along with a few fisheries that we haven't visited in a while. Our MLF anglers are the best in the world, and we look forward to providing our world-class tournaments to them again in 2022."

"The Town of Massena is excited and proud to be selected for the 2022 Tackle Warehouse Pro Circuit TITLE Championship," said Don Meissner, Massena Tourism Promoter.

Twelve pros and 12 co-anglers will qualify for the 2022 Toyota Series Championship based on Wild Card division points.

Further details for both circuits will be announced later this year. The full schedule for the 2022 MLF Bass Pro Tour and the dates and location for the 2022 Toyota Series Championship will be announced in the coming weeks.
