BASS announced today that BOOYAH Bait Company has become an official sponsor. BOOYAH Bait Company, a longtime advertiser in BASS publications, will make their BOOYAH brand the official wire bait of BASS and its prestigious tournament structures and events.
The agreement includes sponsorship of the Bassmaster Classic, Bassmaster Elite Series, the BASS Federation Nation, the Bassmaster Opens and the Academy Sports + Outdoors Women's Bassmaster Tour.
"BOOYAH Bait Company has long been a supporter of BASS and we are proud to become the official wire bait of BASS," said Andy Carroll, BOOYAH Sales and Marketing Manager. "With 2008 Bassmaster Classic Champion Alton Jones winning the most prestigious tournament in the world by fishing BOOYAH jigs last year, it's a natural step for us."
As part of the agreement, BOOYAH will receive significant exposure across all of BASS' multimedia properties including Bassmaster magazine and Bassmaster.com. Additionally, BOOYAH will receive on-site exhibit space at all BASS events to display their product lines.
