Berkley Cast for Cash Expanding for 2020
December 18, 2019
Berkley’s® Cast for Cash will expand in 2020, bringing the successful tournament contingency program to even more anglers and more tournament circuits. On the heels of its successful 2019 launch, the Cast for Cast program will add nearly 300 new tournaments across 13 different tournament trails, including bass, walleye and bass kayaking competitions. Cash rewards for semi-professional and loyal weekend tournament anglers will be awarded to the top two finishers at each qualifying tournament.
To participate, anglers must be a member of the Berkley Cast for Cash program. Memberships for 2020 are $29.99 and come with an exclusive 2020 Berkley Pro Pack valued at $50. The Pro Packs include Berkley hard and soft baits, as well as a 2020 Cast for Cash hat and boat decal.
Prizes ranging from $100 to $1,000, depending on the tournament, will be awarded to the two top finishers at each Berkley Cast for Cash-eligible event, regardless of their place of finish. There is no cap as to how many times one can win.
“We recognize the passion for tournament fishing and want to do our part to reward anglers who put their trust in the science behind Berkley baits to help them catch more fish,” says Jon Schlosser, Berkley VP of Marketing. “We saw success during the 2019 tournament season and we are excited to expand the program for the 2020 tournament season.”
Participating FLW tournament trails (for boaters and co-anglers):
