St. Croix Rods has renewed its title sponsorship of the Bassmaster Opens series for 2024, B.A.S.S. announced today. The organizations have partnered to enhance this series since 2022, and the upcoming St. Croix Bassmaster Opens will feature higher payouts and more coverage than ever before.
“After more than 50 years, B.A.S.S. continues to be the dominant voice in the bass-fishing world,” said St. Croix VP of marketing Jesse Simpkins, “and 2024 marks the third consecutive year St. Croix has extended the title sponsorship to the Bassmaster Opens Series. We’re on-site at every Opens event because each one is a unique, grass-roots opportunity to connect with passionate bass anglers at every level.”
Alongside the increased coverage and payouts, St. Croix will continue the St. Croix Rewards contingencyrogram. Anglers who meet the contingency requirements (fishing St. Croix rods during competition days) and register at the tournament meeting prior to the start of the event will be eligible for even more money.
“We are so excited to continue our partnership with St. Croix through the Opens,” said Chase Anderson, CEO of B.A.S.S. “The popularity of this series has only been matched by the excitement of these events. Now, with increased coverage, fans will be able to watch even more dreams come true, whether it’s qualifying for the Elite Series or punching a ticket to the Bassmaster Classic. St. Croix has a passion for creating products that help anglers achieve these dreams, and B.A.S.S. has a passion to build the best possible platforms to make this possible.”
