Abu Garcia will again be offering its Trade-In and Trade-Up Program to anglers competing in the upcoming Collegiate Bass Fishing Championship presented by Bass Pro Shops. At the Association of Collegiate Anglers’ annual Angler & Sponsor Banquet, competitors can bring in a reel to trade in to receive a new Abu Garcia reel.



 Built on the same rigid, versatile platform as the popular Revo® SX baitcasting reels – and enhanced with Abu Garcia’s exclusive VIQ electronic casting system – Revo® VOLTIQ™ empowers anglers to adapt to any situation. By intelligently reading spool rotation and automatically adjusting braking force, the VoltIQ system significantly improves overall casting performance. This advanced electronic cast control system delivers exceptional precision and fine-tuned adjustability.

 

What: Abu Garcia Trade-In and Trade-Up Program

 

Where: Renaissance Shoals Conference Center

 

When: Wednesday, May 20th

 

Details: Bring in any old reel, no matter the brand, and get a new Abu Garcia Revo SX VoltiQ Low Profile Reel

 

The old reels that are donated will go to the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources for usage in various programs.

 

“The Abu Garcia Trade-In and Trade-Up Program has been a huge hit with the college anglers since it was first introduced several years ago,” said Wade Middleton, ACA Director and President of CarecoTV. “Pure Fishing as a whole, including Abu Garcia and Berkley, have been longtime supporters of the ACA. It is awesome to see them provide this opportunity to college anglers, and in turn then donate those used reels to introduce future generations of youth anglers to the outdoors.”
