Commemorative Collectible
Bass Lure
The
Bomber Spin Stick was used by Stan Sloan to win Ray Scott’s very first
national bass tournament – the All-American Invitational at Beaver Lake
Arkansas in 1967. It was an event that changed the sport of bass
fishing forever and led to the creation of B.A.S.S. in 1968.
After its
re-issue in 1998 on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of
B.A.S.S., I obtained a limited quantity of Spin Sticks for my personal
collection recognizing its historical value not only for B.A.S.S. but
for me personally. Stan and Don, both deceased, were dear friends and
important figures in my life and my career. Over the years, I asked
them both to sign my lures and then added my own signature.
Now on
the 40th anniversary of B.A.S.S. I am proud to release a
limited quantity of these historical bass lures to the anglers who would
most appreciate their value – B.A.S.S. members. And, I hope you
treasure their historical significance as much as I do.
