Aaron Martens is auctioning off the Enigma rods he used en route to winning the 2015 B.A.S.S. Angler of the Year title. Thirty rods will be auctioned on eBay in four sessions, with the first starting today and running through Monday. Two rods will be placed up for bid each day.
All of the proceeds received from the auctions will go directly to the Wounded Warriors In Action Foundation (WWIAF) to fund outdoor experiences for wounded combat veterans.
“I can’t think of a better cause to contribute these rods to than an organization dedicated to getting Wounded Warriors in the outdoors,” Martens said. “Those injured soldiers put our freedoms above their own personal safety to protect our way of life. No price can be put on that.”
The collection includes both casting and spinning rods in various lengths and actions. Every rod purchased will come with a rod sock, an Enigma hat and a certificate of authenticity as a rod used by Martens during his 2015 Angler of the Year campaign.
"All of these are the Enigma rods I used all season on the Elite Series,” Martens said. “Some of them are one-of-a-kind prototypes that I was experimenting with when designing the rods. Some of them are the ones I used to win on Havasu and on the Chesapeake.
"They are special rods to me, but I want people across the country to bid on them to raise money so we can get these amazing Warriors into the great outdoors where they can experience miracles.”
