GSM Outdoors to be Bassmaster Classic Expo presenting sponsor

GSM Outdoors, owner of a number of top brands across the US, is partnering with this year’s Bassmaster Classic Outdoor Expo as its presenting sponsor.

The show, which will take place alongside the Bassmaster Classic on March 22 to 24 on Oklahoma’s Grand Lake O’ the Cherokees, is recognised as fishing’s biggest consumer show and draws more than 200 exhibitors from across the world.

“We are excited to promote our brands and products during the premier venue in all of professional fishing,” said Crispin Powley, Senior Vice President of Fishing at GSM Outdoors.

“Having attended over 20 Bassmaster Classic Outdoors Expos in my career, I fully appreciate the significance and opportunity of having this many avid anglers in one place and the opportunity to interact with them. We look forward to this chance to talk fishing and fishing products with our fellow anglers and the core of who we build our products for.” 

The GSM Outdoors family represents some of the industry’s most iconic fishing brands, including Yamamoto Baits, Bill Lewis, Buckeye Lures, Big Bite Baits, Steel Shad, Phenix Rods and Cuda.

“We are thrilled about this partnership with GSM Outdoors,” said Chase Anderson, CEO of B.A.S.S. “It’s a perfect match, pairing the sport’s most exciting consumer show featuring the most rabid bass fishing fans on the planet with a company that is on the cutting edge of building products to support this passion.

“Plus, both our organisations place a sharp focus on preserving the legacy of the outdoors and responsible stewardship of the resource, which will be highlighted on bass fishing’s biggest stage.”
