Japanese tackle manufacturer Geecrack has announced a partnership with Major League Fishing angler Alton Jones Jr. to continue promoting their broadening portfolio of baits in the U.S. market. Geecrack entered the American market in August 2019 with the launch of the bluegill-imitating Bellows Gill.
“I'm excited to work with Geecrack," Jones said. "I realized the advantages of their unique designs and the SAF material during the 2020 season. That salt, amino acids and flavor combination is something special. I look forward to helping them create even more new, innovative baits while also expanding their presence in the USA.”
Said Geecrack marketing director Fuyo Kitajima: “We could not be more excited to join forces with Alton – we are a young, but quickly growing company. Together with Alton, we can learn and grow together to continue building our own legacies."
Geecrack was established in 2005 by entrepreneur Kunimitsu Aoki and is headquartered in Gifu City, Japan. With a passion for keeping fishing fun and engaging for anglers, Geecrack has expanded beyond Japan by establishing distribution in countries such as South Korea, Italy, Australia and the U.S.
