Haslet, Texas — Bass Champs
announced today that Skeeter
Boats will remain the title
sponsor of the number one team
tournament trail and television
show. The leading trail has been
partnered with the most trusted
bass boat manufacturer in the
world for the past 14 years. The
agreement includes the Skeeter
“Double Your Money” program at
all regular season Bass Champs
events as well as the Skeeter
Owners Tournament where it pays
to fish from a Skeeter!
Jeff
Stone, Senior Vice-President of
Skeeter Boats stated,
"Skeeter and Bass Champs have
always been a great fit. Giving
anglers from all skill levels
the opportunity to fish from an
affordable, reliable and the
most innovative boat on the
market. After releasing the FX
and ZX series fully rigged with
National Advertised Pricing, we
have grown our loyal following
exponentially. We are excited to
see the growth with not only
Skeeter Boats but with our
relationship with Bass Champs as
they continue to raise the bar
in grass roots tournaments.”
Since
the first Skeeter boat was built
in 1948, they have continued to
progress into what is today the
most innovative and trusted boat
on the market. Skeeter released
the Nationally Advertised price
of the FX and ZX series in 2014
and has continued to offer a
fully rigged, tournament ready
bass boat at a price that can’t
be found elsewhere. Skeeter
Boats continues to offer a
product that far surpasses their
competition.
Skeeter will continue to gain
exposure through all facets of
Bass Champs including their New
Television Show featuring the
top finishers of the 2015
season. Also, Skeeter will be
represented through all
tournaments and marketing
outlets from Bass Champs.
Skeeter will again offer the
"Double Your Money" incentive
for the highest eligible
finishers at each regular season
event winning up to $5,000! In
addition, anglers with the first
exact weight weighed in will
have a shot to make $250 should
they have a signed business card
from a Skeeter dealer at the
time of weigh in. At the
year-end championship, October 8th
& 9th, anglers will be fishing
for over $200,000 in cash and
prizes including a top award of
a new Skeeter FX20 with Yamaha
SHO 250, a second place award of
a Skeeter ZX225 with Yamaha SHO
225 and 40 cash places.
In addition to
the 16 team events, Bass
Champs will again host the
annual Skeeter Owners event on
Lake Fork scheduled for June
12-14th. This is the largest
boat owner’s tournament in the
world and had over 2000 anglers
in 2015!
“2015 was an incredible year for
Bass Champs. We broke all kinds
of records in attendance and
payouts awarding over $2.5
million to weekend anglers.
Now that we have plenty of water
in the lakes and fishing is
continuing to get better we look
forward to continuing that
trend. We are extremely blessed
to have Skeeter as our title
sponsor. Skeeter continues
to build the best boats on the
water and we are very proud to
be part of the Skeeter family.”
Chad Potts,
President of Bass Champs.
