A.R.E. TO AWARD TWO GRAND-PRIZE FISHING TRIPS TO BASSMASTER TOURNAMENT ATTENDEES
Winners will fish with pro anglers Justin Lucas or Adrian Avena
MASSILLON, Ohio – In its second year as a supporting sponsor for B.A.S.S., A.R.E. Accessories is offering Bassmaster Elite Series tournament attendees a rare opportunity to win an all-expenses-paid fishing trip with pro fishermen Justin Lucas or Adrian Avena
Sign up for the fishing trips will take place at the A.R.E. booth at each tournament during the season. Attendees can enter to win one of two grand-prize fishing trips, complete with complimentary airfare, lodging and meals. One trip features a day on the water with Avena and the other with Lucas. There is no fee to enter and the drawing is open to all attendees of the Bassmaster tournaments throughout the season.
Three runner ups will receive autographed swag from A.R.E. Fishing Team members Adrian Avena, Justin Lucas, Britt Myers and Brad Knight. Winners will be notified by email at the end of the season. Trip details and arrangements will be made with the two grand-prize winners after selection and the runner ups will have the autographed swag mailed to them directly.
“A day of fishing with these anglers will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for two true fishing enthusiasts,” said Bryan Mutchler, A.R.E. marketing manager. “Both of these A.R.E. sponsored anglers are professional sportsmen, and are looking forward to sharing their tricks and techniques with the lucky winners.”
At 25 years old, rookie angler Avena has built an impressive resume after only three years on the tournament trail. A New Jersey native and natural athlete, Avena discovered bass fishing while at Chestnut Hill College in Philadelphia. He now operates Jersey Boy Charters in Cape May, N.J. Avena is also making his mark by strategically employing electronics to locate far-ranging saltwater gamefish.
Lucas, 30, is a native Californian who moved to Alabama to pursue his dreams as a professional angler. He joined the Bassmaster Elite Series in 2014, finishing 2nd in the Rookie of the Year standings and 11th overall with three top 10 finishes. While on the FLW Tour he built a strong following with the younger generation of anglers and he still embraces his role as an inspirational personality and mentor to them.
An active Bassmaster sponsor, A.R.E. maintains a presence and booth at all Bassmaster Elite Series tournaments, and works side-by-side with Bassmaster’s network of sponsors.
