This week Academy Stores and Outdoors began the process of adding KastKing fishing tackle items to their website, academy.com. The first KastKing products listed were KastKing Baitcasting reels, the KastKing Bassinator Elite Classic and KastKIng Bassinator Elite Ninja models.
“We hope to see additional KastKIng reels and other KastKing products listed on the Academy website in the not-too-distant future,” says Tom Gahan, Chief Marketing Officer at KastKing. “The novel coronavirus caught everyone by surprise and somewhat hampered the process. All parties remain confident in moving forward. Academy is a fine and respected company, we are pleased to be working with them.”
Founded in 1938, today Academy Sports + Outdoors operates more than 250 physical stores with sales approaching $5 billion in 16 states with more than 23,000 employees throughout the South, Southeast and Midwest.
