Flippin, Arkansas-based Vexus® Boats, recently announced a first-of-its-kind bonus program for high school and college anglers that rewards young anglers up to $1,000 in free merchandise from premium online retailer Tackle Warehouse, along with commemorative banners to hang in their boat garage, bedroom, or dorm room.

The new Vexus Varsity™ program rewards qualifying high school teams who win a sanctioned tournament while competing in a Vexus boat with a Tackle Warehouse gift card for $500, while a qualifying college team who wins a sanctioned tournament in a Vexus boat will win a $1,000 Tackle Warehouse gift card through the new Vexus University™ program.

Vexus Executive Keith Daffron stated, “We’re extremely excited to expand on our current REV Rewards™ contingency program by including and supporting young anglers as they begin their careers. High school and collegiate tournaments have grown exponentially over the past decade, and we feel it is important to recognize and celebrate these anglers’ success through our new Vexus Varsity™ and Vexus University™ programs.”

This news is just a portion of the excitement that comes with Tackle Warehouse now being the Official Tackle Retailer of Vexus Boats. Not only will high school and college anglers benefit from the unique partnership, but purchasers of new Vexus boats will also receive Tackle Warehouse discount codes to use as they rig up their boats.

Laindree Richardson, who owns a Vexus 1980 and fishes for Drury University, was the first collegiate angler to sign up for this exciting new program, and other young anglers who wish to join her are encouraged to register on the “Info” page at vexusboats.com.
