Shimano names former national champion as new freshwater sales manager

Shimano North America Fishing has appointed 2012 Collegiate Bass National Champion Ethan Cox as its new Freshwater Sales Manager in the Southeast region of the country.

“During my seven years at Shimano I have had the chance to fish in 23 states and catch over 100 species,” said Cox. “Those experiences have helped me gain and share knowledge across many different fisheries, as well as build strong relationships within Shimano and across the fishing industry.

“As I begin my new position, I look forward to applying my knowledge and expertise to help freshwater anglers across the region leverage exceptional Shimano products to catch more and bigger fish.”

Jim Lupinski, Senior Sales Manager for Shimano North America Fishing, added: “We are excited to bring Ethan’s extensive knowledge of the region, dealer base and fishery to the team and look forward to continued growth within this market.”
