Bassmaster Elite Series pro Brandon Palaniuk has teamed with automotive aftermarket industry veteran Dave Davis to launch a company called Crossed Industries. The web-based company's offerings will include interior and exterior accessories, LED lighting, wheels, tires and much more.
For ease of use, Crossed Industries members can quickly find parts by vehicle make and model or by the manufacturer brand. The website allows customers to have parts shipped directly to them or the up-fitter of their choice.
"The need for a one-stop shop for automotive accessories for anglers is a big one," Palaniuk said. "I constantly hear guys talking about stuff they need or want for their trucks. Tow rigs aren't an afterthought anymore – without them, you never make it to the lake."
Davis, a former partner at Rigid Industries, added: "I can't think of anything better than helping anglers with the relationships I've made in both the automotive and angling communities. After repeatedly being asked by anglers if I knew someone that could help with tires, lift kits, tow hitches or batteries, etc., it all clicked and I knew this is what I wanted to do. To be able to partner with Brandon on this makes it that much better."
Along with completing the storefront, Crossed Industries is assembling a pro staff to help promote the brand across the country. Information on team members, contingencies, sponsorship opportunities and new product releases can be found on the company's Facebook page.
