American Bass Anglers Introduces:
The Advantage Series Opens
Athens, AL July 26, 2004
American Bass Anglers, the largest tournament trail for the weekend angler, introduces its new ABA Advantage Series Opens. These regionally held events (approx 35) will be open to any ABA member.
These regionally based Advantage Series Opens will be held on top lakes during their prime season all across the country. These events will be like any ABA one-day tournament with one exception, increased payouts of 80%. First place will be a $1,000 guarantee with a minimum of only 30 anglers.
“ABA already offers approximately 800 tournaments a season for the weekend angler and the Advantage Series Opens are a great way to offer more to the weekend angler. Increased payouts at tournaments appeal to all anglers. The Advantage Series Opens will allow present and future ABA members to come and see for themselves why this is truly the tournament trail for them. Just the fact that if you bring your boat, you will use your boat, is so appealing to most anglers out there. Combine this with a low $100 entry fee and a high payback and it becomes easy to see why we designed the Advantage Series Opens for the weekend angler. “said Morris Sheehan, President of American Bass Anglers
While not all ABA districts will operate Advantage Series Opens, events will be scheduled in areas all across the country.
As in any ABA tournament, CAST College teams will be able to fish the Advantage Series Opens free of charge and use these events to qualify for yearend scholarships. For more information on the CAST Program Click Here.
