When is the last time you bought a fishing lure and part of the money was donated to benefit fishing programs? Well, now is your chance to chip in and get a great deal on three great lures. Lurenet.com (www.lurenet.com) is offering a special online only 3-pack of tournament winning lures for less than $10 and is donating $1 from every sale to benefit the Future Fisherman Foundation, which administers the Hooked on Fishing Not on Drugs, Physh Ed, and Boys & Girls C.A.T.C.H. programs.
The 3-pack of lures consist of the Booyah A-Jig Alton Jones won the 2008 Bassmaster Classic on at Lake Hartwell, the Bomber Model 4A that Terry Butch won the 2008 Bassmaster open with, and the XCalibur Zell Pop that Chad Griffin won the 2009 Bassmaster Elite Series tournament on Lake Oneida with. (One of each of the following lures: ½-ounce Booyah AJig BYAJ1249 in Ozark Craw, XCalibur Zell Pop XZ208 in Bone Chartreuse, and a Bomber 4AFS in Foxy Shad.) “The body of the Zell Pop is slimmer than a Pop-R and sits different in the water; the head is up higher while the tail sits down,” Rowland continued, “it’s not a finesse topwater bait if you work it right.”
Keith Sutton, Future Fisherman Foundation Executive Director explained, “The Future Fisherman Foundation was started back in 1986 by Tom Bedell to create an organization to help youth become fishermen as adults; the first program was Hooked on Fishing Not on Drugs and more than a million kids have been through that program alone,” Sutton continued, “all of the donated money that comes from the sale of the 3-pack on www.lurenet.com goes directly into these programs providing equipment, curriculum, and training of staff all over the country.” Anglers win three ways when they purchase the 3-pack of lures Sutton explained, “Anglers get three fish catching lures, $1 of the purchase going to the Future Fisherman Foundation, and you get all three lures at a great discount.”
Zell Rowland, Mr. Pop-R himself, was excited that the Zell Pop was included as one of the chosen lures. “We have to introduce more youth to
fishing, the problem is not enough parents or relatives taking the kids outdoors in some situations; everyone needs to do their part and take kids out fishing,” said Rowland. Rowland stands behind what he says by taking kids out on guide trips, doing seminars for kids, and donating memorabilia to children’s charities. “The one thing I have always said is; if a mom or dad ever gets their kids going fishing, those kid will not end up in trouble,” explain Rowland.
The 3-pack of lures provides anglers a chance to give back and get three fish catching lures at the same time; all at a great price.
