Stratos Boats Set To Release “New Program” At Bassmaster Classic
For many Stratos Boat owners such as myself, we took a loss when Stratos yanked the Stratos Platinum Program out from under us. The Platinum Program offered Stratos Boat owners a chance at winning money back through contingency prizes with specific sanctioned events. The biggest being participation with the FLW.
When the Platinum Program was taken away, I immediately called Stratos to get an explanation. Without a straight answer, the best interpretation I could put together had to do with the fact that angler participation wasn’t enough to offset the dedicated man hours they were allocating to run the program. That and the fact that Stratos didn’t want to interfere with the circuit that Ranger boats has long had control over. Coincidentally, all of this after Stratos came under control of the same ownership as Ranger Boats.
There could however be good news on the horizon for Stratos owners. GettingReel.com has been told by a direct source with Stratos Boats that there is expected to be an announcement by Stratos at the Bassmaster Classic. The information was received after I got in touch with Stratos Boats to find out if there were any future plans to re-instate the Platinum Program. The response I received was, “To hold on just a little while longer”. While no specific details on the program were given due to the anticipated announcement to be given this weekend, what is know by GettingReel.com is that the program will no longer be called the Platinum Program.
I will be attending the Classic this weekend and will have specific details after/if any announcement is given. Be sure to check back to get any updates.
