Our featured Sponsor for May is Pat and Marge's Jewelry Box

Looking for a way to spruce up your image on or off the water? How about a gift for your wife or girlfriend that will always remind her of you?

One Virginia B.A.S.S. Federation sponsor, Pat and Marge's Jewelry Box, of Virginia Beach, may have the solution.

Along with a wide variety of other products, Pat and Marge sell bass-themed jewelry.

Pat and Marge Bennett feature more than 500 charms. Their inventory includes almost any animal imaginable, with several lines aimed at sportsmens' groups, including the National Wild Turkey Federation and the Buckmasters. They carry a variety of charms aimed squarely at the fishing market, including a hook, and two sizes of leaping bass, available in both gold and silver. If you buy a bass charm, a diamond cut chain is thrown in for free!

Pat and Marge sell their fashion jewelry at various sport shows throughout the southeast, including the Richmond Bassarama, where you may have seen them in between your stops at the worm bar and the hawg trough. If the guys in the crowd haven’t seen them, surely the many women anglers or the ladies whose husbands and boyfriends bring them, semi-willingly, to the shows do. Marge says that this is their target market, although the men who do stop by to browse have produced more than enough business to warrant returning to these shows for the next decade.

It was ten years ago that Marge Bennett met Federation President Roger Fitchett's wife at a flea market. After a brief conversation, they were convinced that fishing related shows presented an untapped market. In gratitude, Pat and Marge elected to sponsor the federation. Those of you who have fished the Six Man Chapter Team Tournaments or Mr. BASS tournaments certainly will remember the items that they have generously donated to the cause.
