VAN, Tex. -While
it was announced a little more than a week ago that 41-year-old Bassmaster Elite Series pro, James Niggemeyer
from Van, Tex., got some EGO, when he signed on with EGO by Adventure Products
as a new sponsor. The normally reserved and somewhat subdued angler has decided
he needs a little sexy in presenting himself on the water.
No, Niggemeyer is not becoming a
different person. Instead, he is unveiling a whole new color scheme for the
Strike King Lure Company Wrap on his Bass Cat / Yamaha tour rig. For 2013, Niggemeyer will be running a wrap designed to emulate
Strike King's signature lure color - Sexy Shad.
When mentioning the change from his
previous hide and go seek graphics packages, Niggemeyer
said he thought that there was not a better way to display the Strike King wrap
than to use the lure color that the brand is synonymous with.
"Strike King developed the Sexy
Shad color, and it is still their most popular color in just about any
lure," said Niggemeyer. "I thought that
there would be no better way to display the company that has been so good to
me, than to wrap my boat in the color that they are so identified by. I really
like the way it turned out, and feel that it represents Strike King very
well."
While Strike King and the Sexy Shad
theme dominate the hull, his wrap will also feature significant branding for
St. Croix rods, Bass Cat boats on the side, and the remainder of his sponsors
with placements in the interior.
Niggemeyer is competing on the Bassmaster
Elite Series, the Bassmaster Central Opens in 2013
and operates his guide service on the famed big bass factory of Texas, Lake
Fork, near his East Texas home.
