With fans already gearing up for another exciting season, Major League Fishing (MLF), the world’s largest tournament-fishing organization, announced today a new partnership with the OFF!® brand, America’s #1 best-selling mosquito repellent brand.* Beginning in 2026, the OFF!® brand becomes the Official Mosquito & Tick Repellent of Major League Fishing, helping anglers and attendees stay protected from mosquitoes and ticks during long days outdoors.
A pioneer in personal insect repellents for over 65 years, the OFF!® brand is partnering with MLF to support anglers, families and fans who count on reliable gear – and protection against mosquitoes and ticks – every time they hit the water. The partnership with OFF!® repellents will include a presence at key 2026 MLF events, including REDCREST 2026 – MLF’s premier championship – and a branded angler team in each of the four 2026 MLF Team Series events. OFF!® repellents will also come to life through fan events, on-site signage, televised and livestream coverage, and features across MLF’s digital and social media platforms.
“OFF!® is an iconic outdoor brand that people trust, and we’re excited to welcome them into the MLF family for 2026,” said Boyd Duckett, President and CEO of Major League Fishing. “Our anglers spend countless hours outdoors and on the water in all conditions, and protection from mosquitoes and ticks is essential. This partnership allows us to highlight a product that truly makes a difference in the outdoor experience while encouraging education on best outdoor practices and delivering reliable protection all season long.”
To kick off the partnership, OFF!® repellents is introducing a new product: OFF!® Deep Woods® MAX aerosol, a picaridin-based repellent designed for extended outdoor use. For long days on the water, the formula repels mosquitoes and ticks for up to 10 hours and is fragrance-free, non-greasy and comfortable to wear. It also won’t damage gear, including fishing lines, gun stocks, sporting equipment, active wear or painted surfaces, making it a great option for anglers and fans alike. OFF!® Deep Woods® MAX aerosol is available online and at select retailers, offering outdoor enthusiasts long-lasting protection with the trusted performance of the Deep Woods® line.
“Long days on the water and in the woods demand gear we can depend on, and OFF!® Deep Woods® MAX aerosol is now an essential part of that toolkit,” said Ott Defoe, professional MLF angler and 2024 Team Series Champion. “It gives me hours of protection without distracting smells or residue, and it doesn’t affect my equipment. Knowing that OFF! ® is taking care of the bugs lets me focus on catching bass anywhere I have to catch them!"
The partnership marks another step in MLF’s continued growth as it aligns with leading brands across the outdoor, lifestyle and consumer-product categories. With the mosquito and tick protection expertise of OFF!® repellents, the 2026 season will offer competitive bass fishing anglers and fans a more comfortable and enjoyable experience both on the water and at MLF events nationwide.
