Palaniuk Continues to Cash-In from Runner-Up Spot

TULSA, Okla. -- For a guy that finished in heart-breaking second place at the Bassmaster Classic, Brandon Palaniuk continues to be a winner. His latest post-Classic celebration comes from hauling home a $1,500 cash bonus as the highest eligible registered Classic participant in the BoatUS Angler "Weigh-to-Win" program.

"People ask me if BoatUS Angler is worth signing up for, and I tell them 'of course it is!'" said Brandon emphatically. "Not only are you getting towing you can trust, but the assurance of knowing you're dealing with people who care about getting you back on the water quickly when you have an issue."

When you sign-up for BoatUS Angler for $24, and add Trailer Assist unlimited on-the-road towing for $14, or unlimited on-the-water freshwater towing for $43, you have confidence knowing somebody will be there should you have a breakdown or find yourself stranded. And like Brandon, you'll become eligible to win cash as part of their Weigh-to-Win tournament bonus program.

"Fortunately, I haven't had any mechanical issues on the road or water since I've been part of the BoatUS Angler program, but I've seen others break down on the water and use the BoatUS tow program - they show-up quick and get you back to where you need to be," said Palaniuk, who is looking forward to Bassmaster Elite Series events at Lake Falcon for giant largemouth, and St. Clair for bruiser-sized smallmouth this season.

Whether you have a flat tire, run out of gas, burn up a trailer hub, have a dead cranking battery or have unexpected on-the-water issues all tournament anglers have worried about or experienced first hand, BoatUS Angler offers 24/7 dispatch of a tow truck, or one of the dozens of TowBoatUS response boats stationed on most all popular bass fisheries. And unlike other roadside assistance companies, BoatUS Angler makes service for your boat's trailer, not just your tow vehicle, a top priority.

With a marine Insurance program designed to fit the specific needs of anglers such as per incident tackle replacement coverage up to $5,000, all tournament fishermen should call 866-532-1829 for a free insurance quote, and no B.A.S.S., FLW, PAA or LBAA competitor should enter the 2013 tournament season without being a member of BoatUS Angler.
