Eugene L. 05.17.23
Daiwa is back on board to support this weekend’s 25th annual Indiana Muskie Classic. The Indiana Muskie Classic is organized every year by the Muskies, Inc. Indiana Chapter, and this year will have Daiwa’s crew on-site showcasing the soon-to-be-available line of Ardito Muskie travel rods during the evening activities at the Muskie tournament.
“The participants who fish this event are exactly the type of avid anglers who we want to show Daiwa’s commitment and focus on muskie tackle and the muskie fishing market,” said Rick Stagowski, who assists Daiwa’s sales efforts with tackle dealers throughout the Midwest states. “From the success we had with the new Daiwa’s Bessie muskie lures introduced at fishing shows this past winter, along with these new Ardito travel rods in lengths, powers, and action for big muskie and northern pike fishing on lakes throughout the Midwest and Canada, to additional muskie-focused rods and reels being introduced at the 2023 ICAST Show, Daiwa continues its goal of being a major tackle brand for muskie anglers.”
Daiwa will have the new Ardito Travel rods, along with other muskie rods, reels, lures, and braided lines for display at the Ye Olde Tackle Box in North Webster, Indiana on Thursday, May 18 during the tournaments registration activities. Then on Saturday, May 20th, during the anglers’ dinner. fundraising auction, and other activities at the Oakwood Resort in Syracuse, Indiana, Daiwa will bring out the showcase once more.
