B.A.S.S. announced today that BoatUS Angler has signed a sponsorship agreement to be the official towing service of the 2012 Bassmaster Bass Pro Shops Open Series.
“On more than one occasion last year, we saw firsthand the value of BoatUS Angler being able to provide much-needed assistance to our anglers during competition,” said B.A.S.S. senior tournament manager Chris Bowes. “Entering a formal agreement to have BoatUS Angler towboats officially available to all Open competitors is a very logical relationship. It’s a reassuring benefit to our anglers, as well as the B.A.S.S. staff who, first and foremost, want to see all of our competitors return safely to the dock each afternoon.”
BoatUS Angler is the fishing division membership of the nation’s largest association of recreational boaters. It offers boat-owning fishermen services such as on-the-water breakdown and towing assistance provided by the largest fleet of towboats in North America, as well as roadside boat trailer and tow vehicle assistance through 20,000 specialized towing companies.
“Tournament anglers spend countless hours behind the wheels of their bass boats and tow vehicles,” said BoatUS Angler’s Steve Levi. “We’re offering a program that takes the hassles away with 24/7 dispatch assistance when either one breaks down, and gives you the chance with our Weigh-to-Win incentive program to make some extra cash when competing in nearly 300 professional fishing tournaments.
“Our TowBoatUS Dispatch Service handles on-the-water breakdown calls on most of the nation’s major inland lakes, rivers and reservoirs. If we don’t have TowBoatUS location nearby, our 24/7 dispatch centers can get you the help you need whether your engine fails, you’re out of gas, your battery dies or you run aground in shallow water.”
