Pelagic Gear has been working with the IGFA over the past decade to help promote fishing conservation and marine research, so when the opportunity arose to be a part of The Great Marlin Race, Pelagic gladly hopped onboard. Pelagic sponsored one of the fifty pop-up archival tags (PAT) that have been deployed all over the world in hopes to gather new data that will help marine scientists understand more about these amazing fish.
