FLW, the world’s largest tournament-fishing organization, and Boat Bling, creator of high-quality premium boat detailing products, have announced a sponsorship agreement for the 2015 season. Boat Bling will receive exposure across multiple FLW platforms including its websites, tournament trails, Expos, social media outlets and FLW Bass Fishing magazine. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
“Boat Bling’s detailing products have been embraced by our anglers on the Walmart FLW Tour,” said Patterson Leeth, FLW Vice President of Marketing. “This partnership allows us to continue to showcase their products to our broad consumer base of anglers, members and their families, and we look forward to continuing to help them reach this loyal audience.”
Boat Bling will be represented on the FLW Tour by professional anglers Cody Meyer of Auburn, California, Cody Kelley of Conway, Arkansas, Michael Murphy of Lexington, South Carolina and Troy Hollowell of Paducah, Kentucky. Mitch Kistner of Gilbert, Arizona, will represent the company on the semi-professional Rayovac FLW Series circuit.
In conjunction with their FLW sponsorship, Boat Bling recently announced the “2015 Boat Bling Challenge – Beat a Pro, Win a Boat” contest. One lucky winner will win a VIP trip to the 2015 Forrest Wood Cup on Lake Ouachita in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Airfare, hotel and VIP access will be given to the winner, as well as the opportunity to fish against a Boat Bling pro on Monday, August 24th. If the winner catches more weight than the pro, the contestant will win $1,000 and a chance at a brand new Ranger Bass Boat worth $50,000. No purchase is necessary. Visit www.boatbling.net/challenge for more details or to register for the contest.
“We are proud of our continued partnership with FLW,” says Patrick Jones, President and CEO of Boat Bling Inc. “Last year, we were very eager to put our products in the hands of some of the world’s best anglers, weekend anglers and fans of bass fishing. We accomplished that by giving away nearly 15,000 twin pack sample bags and the feedback we received from anglers and the FLW was phenomenal. This year, we are proud to have a team of accomplished anglers promoting our products, our brand and feel our new contest, ‘Boat Bling Challenge – Beat a Pro, Win a Boat,’ will help the fans connect with Boat Bling even more.”
Boat Bling, in only its ninth year in business, has rapidly expanded from a two man garage operation in Phoenix, Arizona, to an international company spanning four countries and three continents that is featured in over 850 retail outlets. Their growth is in large part attributed to their revolutionary Hot Sauce, a specifically formulated hard water spot remover with wax sealants. Hot Sauce was launched 10 years ago this month. The Hot Sauce is complemented by three other award winning products that make up the entire SAUCE Premium Detailing Product Line. The entire product line has caught the eye of boat owners and manufactures alike as Boat Bling continues their mission of “Inspiring Pride in Ownership.”
