Garmin International, Inc. announced today it has signed a three-year deal to become a sponsor of the Bassmaster Tournament Trail, beginning with the first Bassmaster Elite Series event at the St. Johns River in Palatka, Fla., this week.
“Garmin is proud to be a supporting sponsor of B.A.S.S. and further strengthen our continued relationship with this iconic fishing brand,” said Dave Dunn, Garmin director of marine sales. “We are deeply committed to the freshwater fishing industry, and the Bassmaster Tournament Trail is a great place for us to showcase our award-winning products and technologies to anglers of all ages and skill levels.”
Garmin will be a supporting sponsor for the Bassmaster Elite Series, Bassmaster Opens Series, Bassmaster College Series, Bassmaster High School Series, Bassmaster Team Championship and the grass-roots B.A.S.S. Nation regional and championship tournaments.
“B.A.S.S. fans and anglers are not only enthusiastic about fishing and boating, they genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors,” said Bruce Akin, B.A.S.S. CEO. “That makes Garmin a natural fit to team with our tournament series to reach an audience that is passionate about living an active lifestyle.”
Garmin, recently named Manufacturer of the Year for the fifth consecutive year by the National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA), will be represented by 18 pros competing in the 2020 Bassmaster Elite Series.
