Brandon Card, the first to qualify for the Bassmaster Elite Series through the collegiate ranks signed a sponsorship deal with Empire Covers. 

Card captained the University of Kentucky bass fishing team for 4 years, graduating in 2009.  While at UK he fished the Boat US series, College BASS and the FLW College Fishing series.  He won the inaugural Ultimate Match Fishing College edition in 2007.  Finishing 2nd in the 2011 Bassmaster Southern Opens earned Card his berth in the Elite Series.

“Empire has already sent a new cover for a new 21 foot boat, even though I have not finalized what make or model I will be running.  We’ve put the cover on every 21 foot boat on the market and it fits them all perfectly.  At this point in my career, every detail I can address now, and every dollar I can save, is like gold.  An Empire cover like mine for a 21 foot boat only runs $208.24 at www.EmpireCovers.com, “said Card.

Empire Covers’ SEM Manager, Robert Brous said, “We are very excited about Brandon’s story of fishing his way through college and moving up to the Elite Series.  By getting to know him we have learned a great deal about the sport of fishing.  It is absolutely mind-blowing how expensive tournament fishing can be!  It seems that the last thing anglers would want to spend a bunch of money on is a boat cover, but they know it is a vital piece of equipment.  An Empire cover will save a fisherman from $200-$500 that could be spent buying fishing tackle or putting gas in the boat.”
