TULSA, Okla. – Jack Link’s Major League Fishing announced today that Lucky Craft has become a 2013 league sponsor.

Lucky Craft manufactures premium hard plastic baits. Its American operations are based in Costa Mesa, California.

Four Major League Fishing anglers – Skeet Reese, Brent Ehrler, Takahiro Omori and Kelly Jordon – are members of Lucky Craft’s professional staff. Ehrler was the champion of Major League Fishing’s inaugural event, which took place on Lake Amistad and was broadcast earlier this year on Outdoor Channel.

“Major League Fishing has been forging partnerships with some of the top companies in the fishing industry. And when you discuss companies that make top-shelf fishing products, Lucky Craft is a name that serious anglers consider. We are delighted to welcome Lucky Craft to Major League Fishing,” said League General Manager Jim Wilburn.

Major League Fishing, a partnership between Outdoor Channel and 24 of the world’s best anglers, features original made-for-television bass fishing events designed to bring high-level challenges to participants and entertainment and insight, to audiences. The league’s next event – The General Tire Summit Cup – was filmed August 27 through September 1 on Chautauqua Lake in Western New York and will begin airing on Outdoor Channel on Thursday, January 3, 2013 at 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT.

“Major League Fishing is one the most entertaining and exciting ventures we have ever seen in pro fishing. Lucky Craft is pleased that members of our pro staff are also Major League Fishing anglers. And now we are delighted that our company has become a Major League Fishing sponsor. We look forward to growing with the league,” said Lucky Craft President Minoru Segawa.

The Summit Cup will air six times per week during the first quarter of 2013 on Outdoor Channel, America’s Leader In Outdoor TV. The Championship Round also will air on February 9 at 1 p.m. ET/Noon CT on the NBC network. Subsequent to its airing on NBC, the championship round will re-air on Outdoor Channel the following week.

Major League Fishing’s made-for-television events utilize a format that allows anglers to weigh all the score-able bass that they catch. The bass are immediately weighed after they are caught, then released back into the water. Anglers know where they rank in the standings at all times via real-time leader boards in their boats. The competitors are not allowed to practice before events.

21.Dec.2012
GUNTERSVILLE, Ala. – FLW Tour pro Justin Lucas is excited to announce his partnership with ‘Never Slip’ Bait Tape. Lucas has won over $425,000 in his young career and is confident ‘Never Slip’ Bait Tape will be a great tool to help him build on his success.“Never Slip Bait Tape is a really unique product,” said Lucas. “It has really caught on quickly in Japan, and I think it will do then same here. I am looking forward to using it this year on the FLW Tour. There are quite a few uses for it. It can be used for wacky rigging stick baits like the UVenko, and using it to hold swimbaits onto an umbrella rig. With Never Slip Bait Tape, I will spend less time fixing soft plastics rigging and more time fishing. An added benefit is that I save money on used and torn plastics.”

Les Butters, president of Never Slip Bait Tape, is excited about Lucas spreading the word about their product.

“Justin is one of the top anglers on Tour and in social media,” said Butters. “He’s a perfect fit for us because he is so involved in educating the public through social media and with his Top Secret Tips videos. The thing about our product is that until you see it and try it, you really don’t know how much it can help. Having Justin help us show the everyday angler about Never Slip Bait Tape will be instrumental in the overall success of our product.”

Berkley renews premier sponsorship with B.A.S.S. – Bassmaster.com

Berkley renews premier sponsorship with B.A.S.S. – Bassmaster.com

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. —Berkley, maker of Trilene, PowerBait and Havoc, has entered into a multiyear agreement with B.A.S.S. LLC to continue with a top-tier sponsorship of the Bassmaster Tournament Trail.

Berkley will be the official Premier Sponsor in the categories of fishing line and soft baits for the Bassmaster Classic, Bassmaster Elite Series, Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Opens Series and B.A.S.S. Nation. In addition, Berkley will be the Premier Sponsor/soft baits for the Carhartt Bassmaster College Series.

“Our association with B.A.S.S. and its Bassmaster events over the years has helped us achieve new highs of awareness for our brands with B.A.S.S. members and fans,” said John Bartow, senior director, marketing. “We feel that the continuity of our association with Bassmaster events at all levels will help us continue on that path of growth.”

“We are very pleased to have the opportunity to continue working with the Berkley team,” said Bruce Akin, B.A.S.S. CEO. “As longtime partners, we have done a lot of good working toward the same goals — especially the goal of growing fishing participation. We look forward to taking that to the next level.”

As a Premier Sponsor, Berkley will have high visibility across all B.A.S.S. media platforms, including Bassmaster.com, The Bassmasters TV show and in print, including the flagship Bassmaster Magazine.

This agreement will bring back the Berkley Heavyweight program for the upcoming Bassmaster Elite Series season. At each of the nine Elite events, the pro with the heaviest daily bag of bass will be eligible for a $500 bonus. The first Berkley Heavyweight bonus of 2013 will be awarded at the Sabine River Challenge presented by STARK Cultural Venues, March 14-17 out of Orange, Texas.

During the Feb. 22-24 Bassmaster Classic presented by Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tulsa, Okla., Berkley will kick off its renewed sponsorship with a big booth at the Bassmaster Classic Outdoors Expo presented by Dick’s Sporting Goods inside the Tulsa Convention Center. Berkley bait and line brand logos also will be showcased at the BOK Center, site of the daily Classic weigh-ins, and at the Wolf Creek launch site on Grand Lake O’ the Cherokees.

Also at the Classic, Berkley will offer a lucky spectator a chance to win $100,000 in the PowerBait Cast for Cash contest. The contest celebrates the 25th anniversary of PowerBait, a line of scented soft plastic lures formulated to make bass hang on longer. A fan will be randomly selected at the BOK Center during the final weigh-in on Sunday for the opportunity to cast for the prize. More details will be available in the Berkley booth at the Classic Expo.

Anglers will meet a pair of old friends at the Classic: Trilene XL and Trilene XT. But most consumers haven’t seen these brands since the lines were reformulated. After their makeovers, XL and XT were voted the best new line at the 2012 ICAST industry show. XL now offers a 20 percent increase in knot strength, and XT is almost twice as flexible and more abrasion-resistant.

In soft plastics, the Berkley name is living up to its reputation as an innovator. Elite series pro Bobby Lane was behind one of the newest Berkley soft baits. Called the Hawk Hawg and part of the Berkley Havoc lineup, this is a creature bait with “wings.” The wide appendages help the bait appear to glide.
