Mossy Oak, the official pattern of B.A.S.S., has become a supporting sponsor of the Carhartt Bassmaster College Series presented by Bass Pro Shops. This series gives college anglers a platform for competing with their peers in a national setting, and its season kicks off January 25-27 at Toledo Bend Reservoir in Many, Louisiana.
“The Bassmaster College Series continues to grow in size and importance and level of competition,” said Hank Weldon, B.A.S.S. College and High School Series senior manager. “Not only does it develop lifelong anglers, it also provides a stepping stone into professional fishing careers for the best of the best college competitors. The support from Mossy Oak will enable us to continue to expand our college bass fishing program and reach more young people throughout the country.”
“At Mossy Oak, it is of the utmost importance to pass on our outdoors traditions of fishing, hunting and taking care of the land,” said Ben Maki, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of Mossy Oak. “B.A.S.S. offers so many opportunities for young people to compete in the sport they love. We really wanted to get behind their efforts of supporting future anglers and outdoors enthusiasts.”
Mossy Oak is also title sponsor of the Bassmaster High School Series and the presenting sponsor of the Huk Performance Fishing Bassmaster Elite Series tournament at Upper Chesapeake Bay.
Mossy Oak entered the fishing arena with its launch of Elements Agua last year. Elements Agua provides outdoors men and women with a pattern all their own, one that represents a lifestyle on the water that they love.
