The highly anticipated event draws thousands each year, crowds that gather 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 2016 models and meet some of bass fishing’s luminaries.

In addition, boat buyers attending the 2016 Bassmaster Classic Outdoor Expo will be eligible for numerous sales incentives, giving them the opportunity to make their dream rig a reality. Several of the boats on display will include up to $6,200 in bonus benefits as part of Ranger’s “Retail Revolution” sales promotion. In addition to the hottest Elite Series-ready fiberglass bass boats, the legendary boat brand will also showcase their ultra-popular aluminum line, which continues to deliver Ranger quality and attention to detail to a growing group of boat buyers.

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 Hank Parker, Jimmy Houston, Denny Brauer and many others, the Ranger booth is expected to be a hub for bass fishing fans throughout the expo.
