Welcome to the official website of tournament angler MJ Deroche. A career Firefighter/EMT and Safety Instructor, MJ competes on the Alabama Bass Trail Tournament Series, an officially sanctioned B.A.S.S. team trail. He has also competed as a co-angler on both the Bassmaster Opens Series and the FLW's BFL circuit.
Looking ahead to the 2021 season, MJ will have the support of long-time sponsors The Rod Glove fishing rod covers, Man vs Bass clothing, and Gator Grip, maker of the original Golden Rule measuring board.
He also will have the continued support of V&M Baits, HI-SEAS fishing line, frogg toggs foul weather gear, WOO! Tungsten weights, Costa Del Mar sunglasses and ConnectScale digital scale.
MJ is also a long time user of Plano Tackle Systems, and Bill Lewis Lures. A new addition to MJ's tackle for the 2021 tournament season is Lazyman Hooks, the weedless balanced weighted underspin hook that makes your swimbait swim. Although he is currently not sponsored by these companies, he believes in promoting the products he uses.
