Mossy Oak, the official pattern of B.A.S.S., has claimed the title sponsorship of the organization’s fast-growing high school bass fishing program. The Mossy Oak Fishing Bassmaster High School Series presented by Dick’s Sporting Goods kicks off January 28.
“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. We’re honored to play a role in such a tremendous program.”
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.
“We’re excited to partner with Mossy Oak to help introduce this attractive Elements Agua pattern for anglers,” said Bruce Akin, B.A.S.S. CEO, “and now we’re especially proud to see the company investing in the next generation of anglers – the Bassmaster High School and College series competitors.”
Mossy Oak is also supporting sponsor of the Carhartt Bassmaster College Series and the presenting sponsor of the Huk Performance Fishing Bassmaster Elite Series tournament at Upper Chesapeake Bay.
