WON Bass has announced a new prize-boat partnership for the 2024 WON Bass Western Opens Series of events, and a new partner for the WON Bass Angler of the Year prize.
In 2024, the WON Bass Western Opens Series will include five pro-am style events that will be held in California, Nevada and Arizona. Thanks to Bass Pro Shops, Ranger Boats and Mercury Marine, each WON Bass event will feature a Ranger/Mercury prize boat for the pro winner.
Along with the support factor, the new partnership directly improves earnings potential for the competitors through the contingency programs offered by Ranger Boats. WON Bass will now feature the Ranger Cup program as well as Nitro Rewards and Triton Gold.
Also, longtime WON Bass partner Bridgford Foods has renewed for its “Bridgford in the Boat” promotion for all of the 2024 WON Bass Opens Series events and has also agreed to provide a $10,000 prize to the 2024 WON Bass Pro Angler of the Year.
“We are excited to announce our multi-year partnership with Bass Pro Shops and Ranger Boats; the Ranger Boats/Mercury prize boats will be welcomed by the field and provide our anglers with more value, as well as more service availability,” said WON Bass tournament director Billy Egan. “We are also very happy to renew and extend our partnership with Bridgford Foods. They are a great partner and care about the industry and its anglers.
