CELEBRATION, Fla. — Mustang Survival has become a partner of B.A.S.S. and will provide personal flotation devices (PFDs) to promote the safety of anglers across areas of B.A.S.S.
As part of the partnership, Mustang Survival has agreed to provide 140 PFDs each year to the competitors in the 2012 and 2013 Mercury College B.A.S.S. National Championships. The company will also give away PFDs to the first 20 people taking demo rides at all 2012 and 2013 Bassmaster Elite Series events.
“We are really excited to be renewing our partnership with B.A.S.S.,” comments Shannon Ward, director of recreation business development at Mustang Survival, which partnered with B.A.S.S. during the 2006 and 2007 seasons.
“We look forward to sharing industry-leading products through the College and Elite Series events, and are eager to leverage the partnership to develop innovative products designed specifically for the fishing community.”
Mustang Survival is a PFD provider. The company offers hydrostatically activated inflatable PFDs. Two new products were introduced at ICAST this past July: a brand new speed-rated vest for 2012 — the ACCEL100 built with 100-mph speed-rated construction — and a brand new flotation jacket for 2012 — the CATALYST Flotation Jacket, built with segmented foam.
“Life preservers are one of the most important tools our anglers have in the boat with them each and every day they are out on the water. Mustang offers a product second to none and we are extremely proud to have them aboard as a partner for the next two years,” said Hank Weldon, director of Mercury College B.A.S.S.
