B.A.S.S. and Garmin, the world’s most innovative and recognized marine electronics manufacturer, have renewed their multiyear sponsorship of the Bassmaster Tournament Trail.
“We are excited to continue our sponsorship of B.A.S.S. and further strengthen our long-standing relationship with this iconic fishing brand,” said Dave Dunn, Garmin senior director of marine and RV sales. “The Bassmaster Tournament Trail embodies the spirit of our brand, and it’s a great place for us to showcase our award-winning products and technologies to anglers and fans of all ages and skill levels.”
As a sponsor, Garmin will have an opportunity to engage with avid fans during the Bassmaster Outdoors Expo at Elite events and live weigh-ins for the Bassmaster Elite Series, St. Croix Bassmaster Opens Series, TNT Fireworks B.A.S.S. Nation Series, Strike King Bassmaster College Series presented by Bass Pro Shops, Strike King Bassmaster High School Series presented by Academy Sports + Outdoors and Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Team Championship.
Additionally, just for being the highest-finishing Garmin angler, competitors can win $500 in the Bassmaster Opens and B.A.S.S. Nation regional championships or a $500 gift card in College and High School Series events thanks to the Garmin Tournament Rewards program.
The relationship between Garmin and B.A.S.S. is already strong, with 22 members of the brand’s national pro team competing on the 2023 Bassmaster Elite Series, ranging from veteran angler Todd Auten to the winners of the last three Academy Sports + Outdoors Bassmaster Classics, Hank Cherry and Jason Christie.
