Duke headed to FTR

Duke headed to FTR

BassFan has learned that Ken Duke, a senior editor of B.A.S.S. publications, will leave the organization at the end of this month to become managing editor at Fishing Tackle Retailer.

"It's something I'm really excited about," he said. "I think FTR is already a solid publication and a player in this industry and it'll be a lot of fun to have a hand on the wheel to see where we can take it."

The 52-year-old Florida resident signed on with B.A.S.S. in 2004 after working for Game & Fish Publications. Due to his vast knowledge of the sport's history, he became the organization's unofficial historian after the death of longtime Bassmaster writer Tim Tucker in 2007.

"I've enjoyed my relationship with B.A.S.S. over the years – I've worked for them for 10 years and I've been a member for 38. I certainly hope to find opportunities to do some things with them in the future, as well as other publications and other parts of the industry."
