Carlisle Named Official Tire of Ray Scott’s Trophy Bass Retreat
May 9, 2013
Carlisle has been named as the Official Tire of Ray Scott’s Trophy Bass Retreat located in Pintlala, AL. Outdoor icon Ray Scott, founder of B.A.S.S., the world’s largest sport fishing organization, has selected Carlisle Tires as the official tire for the world famous Trophy Bass Retreat.
The exclusive Retreat hosts about 150 clients a year with a maximum of eight guests. Scott opened his home, guest facilities and bass lakes as part of a state initiative to showcase Alabama’s abundant hunting and fishing resources. Scott stated, “We recognize the importance of being able to transport our boats and trailers from lake to lake. Regardless of the weather and terrain, we know that Carlisle Tires are designed to handle tough situations over prolonged time. When enthusiastic bass anglers travel from far and wide for a fishing trip of a lifetime, we have to rely on quality tires to get our boats around.”
All fishing groups receive a complete orientation on the Retreat lakes as well as equipment – and that adventure starts with ensuring the boats get from Point A to Point B, day in and day out. Carlisle also provides promotional materials in the gift bag that is awarded to the guest who catches the largest bass in his or her group. “We’re really pleased with our relationship with Carlisle Tires,” says Scott. “Their commitment to quality is right in line with our commitment to providing our guests with a fishing trip they will never forget.”
The scenic grounds of the 200 acre facility was named the “Best Bass Lake in America” by “Outdoor Life” magazine and served as host to two U.S. Presidents. The world champion bass anglers and fishing enthusiasts destination will now be supported in its daily operations with industry leading Carlisle specialty tires and wheels for turf, trailer, ATV/UTV and agricultural applications.
