Clent Davis Announces Bass Bomb as New Sponsor for 2015

FLW Tour Pro Clent Davis, announces the addition of Bass Bomb fish attractant as a new sponsor for the 2015 season.  After two top five finishes in 2014 on the Walmart FLW Tour, Davis is looking to add accolades to his 2012 Walmart FLW Tour Rookie of the Year title.  

In March, he will begin his fourth season on the Walmart FLW Tour at Florida's Lake Toho.  Starting off the year early in January, Davis will be fishing two events, including the Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Southern Open stop at Lake Toho and a Rayovac Series Tournament at Lake Okeechobee. 

In 2015,Davis will be using Bass Bomb, a new product from the makers of Buck Bomb. The Bomb products feature a revolutionary scent dispersal system that helps both novice and expert hunters and anglers achieve their outdoor goals. They also have a product line called Fish Bomb for fishermen.

It is common practice for fishermen to use scent to attract fish. Fish Bomb is a unique way of using scent to attract gamefish. In the past, with other scent attractants, fishermen have had to worry about mixing, storing, toting buckets and bottles of their favorite recipe. With these new products, anglers can be armed with a five ounce, shelf-stable, fit-in-your-pocket can of pure baitish oil fish attractant; including the new Bass Bomb, which is available in a combination shad / garlic flavor. Anglers can spray it on lures, soak their plastics and other baits in it or use it to make a slick in a cove; the options are endless when it comes to the uses for Bass Bomb.
