California's famous for gold, Arizona for its copper, and thanks to a loyal group of talented tournament anglers, Vexus® Boats is becoming famous throughout the Western United States for its uniquely cool silver belt buckle trophies and generous cash bonuses that are part of the premium boat brand's REV Rewards™ tournament contingency program.

Anglers such as Matt Frazier, Alex Klein, Joe Uribe Jr., Ken Mah, Ryan Friend, K.C. Harris, and Jeff Michels made the decision to invest in a heritage-rich, top-quality Vexus bass boat, and collectively they've now won around $200,000 in REV Rewards bonuses, along with enough silver buckles to make a herd of bull riders happy.

In fact, Joe Uribe Jr. of Surprise, Arizona just added another buckle and $10,000 bonus check to his growing collection for his win at the cold and wet WON BASS Lake Shasta Open.

"I've now won $40,000 cash total through Vexus REV Rewards program, and if you don't think the silver buckles are a source of pride for us anglers, look no further than the trophy case in our home's dining room," smiles Uribe, who works at Complete Marine in Phoenix, AZ.

He's proven he can catch 'em everywhere, but says throwing squarebill crankbaits on Clear Lake in the fall is as good as it gets, and when it comes to the favorite features of his Vexus VXs20, he loves the unmatched smooth ride, and the highly insulated cooler that will keep ice frozen for days, even in the Sonoran Desert heat.

Even better news is the fact you don't have to live near a desert, or west of the Mississippi to win REV Rewards and silver buckles, you simply need to make sure you're eligible by visiting www.vexusboats.com/rev-rewards and taking a few minutes to register.
