NEW YAMAMOTO TOUR TOURNAMENT SERIES PRESENTED BY U.S.
ANGLER'S CHOICE

Page, AZ - July 26, 2002 -- Gary Yamamoto has announced the
new Yamamoto Tour Tournament Series presented by U.S.
Angler's Choice.

Gary Yamamoto is an international bass fishing tournament
star, lure inventor and rod designer.

U. S. Angler's Choice is the nation's largest team
tournament trail organization.

The Yamamoto Tour Tournament Series is a series of four open
team events where participants will engage in competition
for cash and prizes.

Yamamoto Tour Tournament Series locations include:

1. Lake Oroville, CA (2002),
2. Lake Guntersville, AL (2003),
3. Florida (2003), and
4. Louisiana or Texas (2003).

The Yamamoto Tour Tournament Series is truly unique since
contestants will only be allowed to use the world's finest
Gary Yamamoto salt-impregnated soft plastic baits.

"The challenge will not be whether bass will bite Yamamoto
soft baits, but which one of over 2,000 models, sizes and
colors to win with," says company spokesperson Russ
Bassdozer. "The diversity of Yamamoto's product line will
truly shine in these tournaments," adds Russ.

Long a staple in Western waters, Yamamoto Custom Baits are
finding their way into angler's tackle boxes all over the
country for their uncanny ability to catch bass under any
condition.

No points will be accrued, so anglers can fish one event,
all four, or as many as they desire. There are no
memberships required to enter, so every angler is encouraged
to participate, especially if they enjoy using Gary Yamamoto
Custom Baits.

"We're excited to be affiliated with U.S. Angler's Choice to
pull these events off. For years, we've had customers from
all over the country express their appreciation of our
products, and the idea of having a national Yamamoto tour
series for anglers has been entertained for years," says Ken
Sasaki, President of GYCB. "Partnering with the new U.S.
Angler's Choice has helped bring this to reality. We're very
excited," concluded Ken.

Tournament Series to be released soon in Gary Yamamoto's

Tournament Series, get press releases on new products, new
