Crestliner has developed a program aimed at high school and college-aged anglers that it hopes will fuel their passion for education and careers related to the outdoors.
The Angling Aces initiative also aims to help student anglers perfect fishing techniques, become advocates for the outdoors and resource conservation, and learn and practice on-water safety.
“The Angling Aces student program has three main goals: to inspire, influence and inform,” said Lori Kneeland, Crestliner's director of marketing. “Success on the water starts at a young age, and we embrace our role as influencers, whether these student anglers go on to become professional anglers, work in fields related to the outdoors and fishing industry, or simply continue to pursue fishing as a hobby.”
Angling Aces, consists of several program components:
> Scholarships: A variety of scholarships will be awarded to students through the Angling Aces program, including team, individual academic and individual angling scholarships.
> Jersey Discount Program: Teams and clubs have the opportunity to be considered for discounted Crestliner's jerseys.
> Boat Purchase Program: Qualifying anglers will have the opportunity to receive an exclusive discount on a new Crestliner boat purchase.
> Education: Events will highlight careers, safety, angling techniques, the outdoors, conservation and more.
“At Crestliner, fishing isn’t just our job – it’s our passion,” Kneeland said. “It brings us great joy to be able to support student anglers in this way. We look forward to the positive impact this program will have on the future of fishing.”
