Columbia, SC - April 20, 2023 - Rather Outdoors and Fishing Chaos are pleased to announce their partnership for 2023, opening the door for a new series of online tournaments and improved communications platforms for anglers throughout the United States. This new digital series, the Mach Nation Summer Smash Series, will include four events in 2023, each of which will take place over the course of a month in the summer of 2023. Through a catch-photo-release entry and scoring format, competitors will have a chance to compete for thousands of dollars in product from Mach, Lew’s, Strike King, and an Old Town Sportsman AutoPilot 136 equipped with a Minn Kota trolling motor, among other prizes.
Fishing Chaos will also serve as the host for the new Team Mach Nation membership program, a free membership which aims to assemble a team of passionate anglers to participate in new product development initiatives, early access to new product launches, engagement with Mach Nation content creators and more to help drive the brand strategy in 2023 and beyond. “We are thrilled about the opportunities that the Fishing Chaos platforms provide for our brands,” said Tom Brewbaker, Senior Brand Marketing Manager for Rather Outdoors. “They are clearly on the forefront of some innovative technology with the various platforms they’ve created to help anglers better engage with the sport by removing barriers of entry and allowing anglers to get competitive juices flowing from anywhere in the U.S.”
