“We are extremely excited about having Kevin onboard and we are looking forward to working with him in developing products for the avid bass angler,” says Steve Vogts, StowMaster’s VP of Marketing “The use of landing nets by bass fishermen has now become the norm rather than the exception, but many anglers still forgo their use because of boat storage limitations. Bass fishermen like an uncluttered boat deck which means traditional landing nets just don’t fit the bill. Nobody wants to be tripping over a net or having it blow off the deck at 70MPH. With Kevin’s help we feel we have developed the ultimate bass boat net.”
StowMaster’s new KVD Bass Boat Net is designed especially to fold and stow in a bass boat’s rod locker or other storage compartments where it’s out of the way until needed. The new KVD model features the patented 20″ x 24″ folding hoop design with a special telescoping handle that extends from a closed position of 38″ to 80″ allowing anglers extra reach when needed. The net features a knotless fish-friendly mesh coated with a special rubber polymer to prevent hooks from embedding in the mesh. The entire net system folds down to a compact 10″x 38″ for easy storage in a bass boats rod locker or other storage compartments. The new KVD model is now available exclusively through Bass Pro Shops.
