Niggemeyer started his competition year with his fourth BASS Victory at the season opening Bassmaster Central Open at Toledo Bend in March in a four hour tie breaking fish off. Niggemeyer followed up his win with a 15th at the season opening Elite Series Battle on the Border at Lake Amistad in south Texas, a 13th at the Diamond Drive at Lake Dardanelle in Arkansas, and a 7th place, Elite 12 performance at Smith Mountain Lake in Virginia.
He rounded out his season with paychecks at Guntersville, the Mississippi River in Iowa and the season finale at Oneida Lake in Syracuse, New York. All told, the 38-year-old pro collected a paycheck in six of eight events in his Elite Series campaign en route to a 26th place finish in the Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year Points Standings. His steady excellence earned Niggemeyer his second trip to the Bassmaster Classic at Alabama’s Lay Lake in February, 2010.
“BioEdge attractants offer me a completely new way to “match the hatch” by giving me the actual scent of the forage the fish are feeding on.
Competing on the ESPN Bassmaster Elite Series requires me use the finest equipment available. The only way to take my baits to the next level is to give the fish the very scent of the prey the fish are feeding on. BioEdge products enable me to do that.”
With career winnings already exceeding $429,000 James is looking forward even better things to come with BioEdge.“BioEdge has produced products that can elevate an angler’s effectiveness. The exact potential of BioEdge scent is yet to be realized.”
