BASS Signs Humminbird® as Official Sponsor

For immediate release
February 10, 2010

 
BASS announced today a new multiple-year sponsorship agreement with Humminbird®, a leading innovator in cutting-edge technology in the electronics category. With the agreement, Humminbird will become an official sponsor of the Bassmaster Classic and Bassmaster Elite Series in addition to a supporting sponsor of the Bassmaster Opens. "Humminbird is very excited to support BASS and its tour anglers," said Jeff Davison, Business Director of Humminbird. "Side Imaging® sonar has forever changed bass fishing, and as the innovation leaders who invented it, we're committed to raising the bar yet again with technology that will help anglers catch more fish."

The Eufaula, Ala.,-based company recently made big news in the fishing industry, inking a sponsorship deal with five-time Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year Kevin VanDam.

Humminbird designs, engineers and manufactures sonar/GPS products primarily for the fishing and marine markets. The sponsorship agreement will bring unique value to Humminbird as the company will be considered the primary sponsor of BASSCast. BASSCast, a new technology that features near real-time feeds directly from BASS anglers' boats during competition days, will now be branded "BASSCast Powered by Humminbird."

Humminbird will also enjoy a presence at the Bassmaster Classic, Bassmaster Elite Series events and the Bassmaster Opens. Humminbird will also receive significant exposure across BASS' multimedia properties, including ESPN2, Bassmaster Magazine, BASS Times, Fishing Tackle Retailer, assmaster.com and ESPNOutdoors.com.

"Humminbird continues to deliver cutting-edge technology that anglers want while maintaining an outstanding quality and customer service reputation," said Tom Ricks, BASS' and ESPN Outdoors vice president and general manager.
