Freedom Tackle Corp. is proud to announce the appointment of Tom Chopin to the newly created position of General Manager. Tom will be an integral part of the management team as the Freedom Tackle brand continues its rapid expansion in the North American markets with it’s patented advanced interchangeable hook designs. As an avid angler Tom brings an extensive business background and industry experience to this role.
“We are excited to have Tom come on board at this opportune time” says Freedom Tackle owner Michael Tamburro. “Having just made a splash at the Bassmaster Classic with our new partnership with the Zman Chatterbait and the rapid growth we are experiencing, Tom will bring valuable skills and insight to the team to help us continue to grow our market share”
“Freedoms innovation is industry leading, their owners Mike and Nick Tamburro are well respected in the industry, and the direction the company is going is something that I wanted to be a part of. ” remarked Chopin.
Since 2012, Freedoms interchangeable hook design has allowed anglers the opportunity to have the benefits of a swing jig with the option to change the hook without retying to match the current fishing conditions. This angler friendly feature is available on 5 different jig models, a spinnerbait, and a unique spoon. A recent partnership with Zman will see this technology used on the jointly named Chatterbait Freedom.
