Bridgford Foods announced today that it will replace Chevy as the title sponsor for FLW Tour angler Luke Clausen starting in 2015, marking the first significant move among anglers who stand to be affected by the looming FLW sponsor departures.
"Innovation, high quality, and consistency are major attributes of the Bridgford Foods company and those are qualities I value in a company I represent," Clausen said. "I am looking forward to working with Bridgford's marketing team to increase their sales of their premium pepperoni and beef jerky products as well as continue to elevate their overall brand awareness."
Clausen is one of just five anglers to win both the Bassmaster Classic (2006) and Forrest Wood Cup (2004). Bridgford's will be the main logo on Clausen's boat, truck and jersey next season.
"It might take some getting used to because I have been with Chevy for so long," he said. "I really like the people at Bridgford Foods and think this is a great fit. I will be proud to represent them as I look to qualify for my 10th Forrest Wood Cup in 12 seasons."
Said Allan Bridgford, "We are excited and honored to have reached a long-term agreement with Luke Clausen. In the future, Luke will be an integral part of Bridgford's professional angling team. In addition to being a FLW Cup and Bassmaster Classic champion, Luke's business savvy and impeccable reputation, embodies Bridgford Foods' commitment to integrity and our reputation, of being the premium brand. Bridgford's industry-leading sales growth in the pepperoni and beef jerky business has been phenomenal the last few years. We attribute a large part of this success to our unique marketing program and association with professional bass fishing."
