American Bass Anglers (ABA) announced today that Berkley has signed a multiyear sponsorship agreement with American Bass Anglers. Berkley manufactures and sells the most well known products in the fishing industry. A true American success story, Berkley began its journey in 1937 in the small town of Spirit Lake in northwest Iowa. Decades later Berkley is a world leading tackle supplier and well known for its brands such as its Berkley Trilene, PowerBait, Gulp, Havoc, Lightning Rod and many others.
“We are proud to work with such a premium brand as Berkley. Our members and weekend anglers worldwide rely on Berkley brand products every day. From line and lures, to rods and the specialized tools and equipment they make so many of the products that anglers must have in order to be successful fishing and winning bass tournaments. Berkley has long been a great supporter of the Weekend Bass Angler and we are excited to have their support,” said Morris Sheehan, President of American Bass Anglers, Inc.
