Jay Striker Barnett is a professional bass angler and a member of the LiTime Pro Team. Throughout the 2025 season, LiTime powered his boat through multiple professional tournaments, delivering the reliable and consistent energy needed to compete at the highest level. From long tournament runs to full days on the trolling motor, Jay’s season became a real-world proving ground for the LiTime power system.
Powering My Tournament Setup
Professional bass fishing is demanding—mentally, physically, and technically. There are no shortcuts. You’re asking a lot from your body, your boat, and your equipment every single day. That’s why having the right support matters so much.
My boat runs a full tournament electronics setup, including five Lowrance HDS Pro units that require clean, stable power throughout the day. Between sonar, mapping, forward-facing sonar, and multiple active systems running simultaneously, dependable power is critical.
During the 2025 season, LiTime wasn’t just a sponsor on my jersey — it was a key part of my tournament setup. My entire boat is powered by the LiTime system, giving me the reliability I need to compete at the highest level.
My setup includes:
- Two LiTime 12V 140Ah Batteries — powering both the outboard engine and onboard electronics
- Two LiTime 36V 50Ah Marine Trolling Motor Lithium Batteries — driving the trolling motor system
- A LiTime 12V + 36V Waterproof Charger — keeping the entire system efficiently charged
Reliable Power When It Matters Most
Throughout 2025, LiTime batteries consistently performed under the toughest conditions. Whether I was running long distances, operating multiple systems at once, or fishing from daylight to check-in, I never had to second-guess my power. That reliability allowed me to compete at my peak.
Tournament after tournament, my electronics stayed strong from launch to load-out. No flickering. No drop-offs. Just consistent performance when it mattered most. That same dependability carried over to my outboard engine. Starts were immediate, power was consistent, and hesitation was never an issue.
Confidence to Fish Until the Final Cast
One moment that truly stands out was at Lake Seminole, Georgia. I made nearly an hour-long run to my fishing area and then spent the entire day on the trolling motor. Not once did I question my batteries. That confidence allowed me to fish aggressively until the final cast.
Being a professional angler means demanding the most from your equipment. Reliability and dependability aren’t optional. Throughout the 2025 season, LiTime proved to be the anchor of my entire system.
This sport is tough. It tests your discipline, preparation, and resilience. Having the right partners makes all the difference. I’m grateful that LiTime has supported me every step of the way, and I’m proud to have them as part of my journey.
