2019 Bassmaster Classic to Feature 11 Ranger Boats Pro Anglers
Jordan Lee looks to three-peat in 2019
FLIPPIN, Ark– Legendary boat brand Ranger Boats will be represented by 11 of the world’s top professional bass anglers when the 2019 Bassmaster Classic is contested on the Tennessee River out of Knoxville, March 15-17. The group of Ranger pro anglers includes Skeet Reese, winner of the 2009 contest, and Jordan Lee, who is looking to become the only angler to ever win three consecutive Classics. He, along with Kevin VanDam and Rick Clunn are the only anglers to win back-to-back Classics.
The Bassmaster Classic draws thousands each year to watch the live weigh-ins as well as to attend the Bassmaster Classic Outdoors Expo, which runs concurrently with the tournament. The Expo gives Ranger fans a chance to see the brand’s latest models and interact with Pro Staff and factory reps on the latest features and innovations.
In addition, boat buyers attending the 2019 Bassmaster Classic Outdoor Expo will be eligible for numerous sales incentives, giving them the opportunity to make their dream rig a reality. With limited-time-only offers geared for both fiberglass and aluminum customers, qualifying purchases will receive benefits up to $2,950 in combined retail value for eligible models.
Visitors to the Ranger booth will also have the opportunity to meet and gain professional insight from some of the sport’s greatest professional bass anglers. With appearances by several pros including Hank Parker, Jimmy Houston, Scott Martin and recent Hall of Fame inductee David Fritts, the Ranger booth is expected to be a hub for bass fishing fans throughout the expo.
