North Carolina Elite Series pro Marty Stone has had a busy off season and just announced he has signed two more sponorship agreements. One with Ardent Reels, where he will be using the Ardent XS 1000 flagship baitcast reel and CTC Supply, a local heating and cooling company to Stone in North Carolina.
CTC Supply (Cumberland Trading Company) has been proudly serving the residential and commercial heating and air conditioning needs of southern North Carolina for 10 years.
“Hunting and fishing are a way of life here in North Carolina,” said Jimmy Cass, the General Manager of CTC Supply. “A majority of our customers are outdoors people so it’s a perfect fit to have Fayetteville’s own Marty Stone, a well-known name on the national fishing tours, to represent us. Having him promote CTC Supply will provide some great regional recognition and we look forward to some of the activities we have planned with Marty this year.”
Stone, a life-long resident of North Carolina, is a 15-year BASS pro and two-time winner on the BASS Elite Series.
As part of the sponsorship, Stone will do two personal appearance days at the CTC Supply headquarters in Fayetteville and will also host the winner of CTC’s “Day on the lake with Marty Stone” contest.
Ardent Reels, headquartered in Macon, Missouri is the manufacturer of premier quality reels, both baitcasting and spinning, that are all made in the US.
“We are happy to have Marty using our products on tour,” said Ryan Hohl, Marketing Coordinator for Ardent. “Marty is a great fit for our brand and is one of the hardest working promoters in the business.”

“I’m privileged to be with a reel company that does all of its manufacturing right here in America,” Stone said. “Ardent is a young company with a bright future in the fishing business and I’m glad I’m getting in on the ground floor to be a part of its growth.”
Stone is one of the hardest promoters on tour and has recently signed Bandit Lures, TTI Blakemore and Buckeye Lures, as well.
