BIRMINGHAM, Ala. –– B.A.S.S. sponsor Huk Performance Fishing is providing B.A.S.S. Nation members a special discount on their clothing, outerwear and accessories. Each state B.A.S.S. Nation President has a special discount code that they can use to order product for state team members, bass clubs, high school teams or their general membership, through the end of 2016. Huk will be making a donation from these sales to B.A.S.S. Conservation and in 2017 we will award Huk Conservation Grants to deserving B.A.S.S. Nation clubs for a projects that encourage fishing youth participation, improve fishing access, fight invasive species, enhance fish habitat or improve tournament fish care. Details of the grant program will be provided to B.A.S.S. Nation Conservation Directors this fall and a request for proposals will be announced via Bassmaster.com and B.A.S.S.Times.
As a relative newcomer on the performance fishing clothing scene, Huk has taken the market by storm. Every angler wants to wear Huk and now B.A.S.S. Nation members can get Huk gear at a substantial discount and help conservation at the same time. “It’s a win-win,” says B.A.S.S. Conservation Director Gene Gilliland. “I’m particularly grateful for their commitment to conservation. This program goes way beyond what I was hoping for when we first approached Huk owners about our idea. It’s a great deal for Nation members and funding for B.A.S.S. Nation projects that will keep our bass fisheries vibrant and healthy.”
