Eugene L. 05.18.23
Daiwa is back this year to support this weekend’s Indiana Muskie Classic. The 25th annual Indiana Muskie Classic is a muskie tournament organized annually by the Indiana Chapter of Muskies, Inc. This year’s tournament will have Daiwa’s crew on-site showcasing the soon-to-be-available line of Ardito Muskie travel rods twice 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.”
The new Ardito Travel rods, along with other Daiwa muskie rods, reels, lures, and braided lines will be on display at the Ye Olde Tackle Box in North Webster, Indiana on Thursday, May 18 during the tournament’s registration activities there. Then on Saturday, May 20th, during the anglers’ dinner. fundraising auction, and other activities at the Oakwood Resort in Syracuse, Indiana, the Daiwa showcase will be brought out once more for the final night.
