Idaho's Brandon Palaniuk, the 2010 B.A.S.S. Federation Nation national champion who'll be a rookie on the Bassmaster Elite Series this year, has entered into sponsorship agreements with Abu Garcia (reels, rods) and Berkley (line, soft baits).
“We are very excited to have Brandon sign with Abu Garcia and Berkley,” said Pure Fishing VP of Marketing David Lund. “He is currently the B.A.S.S. Federation Nation champion, and has represented the sport of fishing very well. It will be a pleasure to work with him throughout the upcoming year.”
Said Palaniuk: “To fish this season with the Elites will be exciting. I think it will be a great year to be a rookie. The series of lakes we are fishing play to many of my strengths, which should lead to a solid season.
"I’m also excited to have the finest sponsors on the water. Abu Garcia and Berkley have been great to work with, and their products lead the way in innovation and performance.”
