Mustad, the world’s leading hook manufacturer since 1877, is proud to
announce the signing of Bassmaster Elite Series Angler Kevin Short to its pro staff.
Kevin Short,
is a 5 time B.A.S.S. Tournament Champion entering his 14th year as a
professional angler. Known to Bassmaster
fans as “K-Pink”, Kevin is a tough competitor recognized both for his larger
than life Hot Pink jersey and Bass Cat boat, as well as his outgoing
personality and sense of humor; and in 2014 overcoming great odds to make the
cut for the 2015 Bassmaster Classic, his third appearance at the event.
“Mustad is very pleased to have a man of
Kevin’s energy and character on our team; his knowledge and experience is a
great asset. When you attend a
Bassmaster Event you can easily see the appreciation that the fans have for
him,” says Mustad Sales Manager Steve Tagami.
“The inner strength Kevin has shown in dealing with a major personal
catastrophe in the loss of his home, and to work through it with such a
positive outlook commands great respect.
To come back after that with two consecutive top ten finishes in a row
is inspiring.”
Kevin’s arsenal will include the following Mustad

”I have been using Mustad hooks for many years and am happy
we can work together,” says Kevin. “Whether fishing the Bassmaster Classic or
just for a day of fun, one of the most important things to do is control all
the variables I can to maximize my catch. I know when I tie on a Mustad hook,
I’m using the sharpest, strongest hooks I can get and that’s one less thing for
me to worry about.”
