Lowrance Electronics Joins Forces with GNWC
By Steve Weisman
Gander Mountain GNWC Publicity Director
Lowrance Electronics, a recognized and respected leader in the fishing
and electronics industry, announced today its decision to join the Gander
Mountain Grand National Walleye Cup’s (GNWC) national sponsorship team. In
the announcement, Lowrance Electronics and GNWC’s Executive Director Bernie
Barringer noted that Lowrance Electronics will award a pair of LMS-332C
sonar units at each of the eight Regional Championships to the team that
captures the Regional Championship title.
Barringer, said, “This is a tremendous prize, and we are very happy that
Lowrance Electronics has made the commitment to be part of the GNWC’s
sponsorship team. This first place prize, which is valued at $1400 retail
will be in addition to the winning team’s cash purse, and is now officially
called the Lowrance Electronics ‘You Win!’ award.”
The LMS-332C is a new state-of-the-art color sonar with a five inch
screen and a high-detail 480 x 480 pixel resolution. It can be used both as
a traditional sonar/sounder unit and as a GPS/WAAS/Mapping unit.
Standard sonar features of the LMS-332C include Advanced Signal
Processing, Colorline, Advanced Fish Symbol I.D., FishTrack, multi-zoom
options, sonar alarms and backup memory. Meanwhile, the unit has a precision
12-parallel channel GPS + WAAS receiver, built-in background map with
enhanced continental U. S. and Hawaii detail including nav aids, along with
the compatibility of working with MapCreate, FreedomMaps(tm), plus Fishing
Hot Spots(r) and Navionics(r) electronic charts.
In an effort to provide user-friendly electronics, Lowrance offers
website help at lowrance.com. At this site, one can actually choose the unit
and work with it on what is called an Emulator.
According to Barringer, Lowrance will also provide LMS-332C units on the
three WX 1880 Skeeteer boats that will be given away at the Skeeter-Yamaha
National Championship on Lake Erie October 6-8.
“With the matching Yamaha outboards, Minnkota electric trolling motors
and batteries, and now the LMS-332C by Lowrance Electronics, these
fully-rigged boats retail for $35,000 each. As I noted in an earlier
release, we will award two of these to the team that wins the National
Championship,” said Barringer.
Meanwhile, the third Skeeter WX1880 boat will be given away in a drawing
at the National Championship. Each and every angler that fishes in the
national championship will have a chance to win this boat. It will be given
away at the tournament in a random drawing and all contestants that meet
eligibility guidelines will have one chance to win.
“We are glad that Lowrance Electronics has joined the GNWC sponsorship
team. They now join a host of outstanding National Sponsors, including
Gander Mountain, Skeeter Boats, Yamaha Outboards, MinnKota,
UpNorthOutdoors.com and AMFYOYO. We hope to add more sponsors to this list
in the upcoming weeks,” added Barringer.
