Professional Angler Mike “Ike” Iaconelli and his son, Vegas “The Hammer” Iaconelli have announced a new partnership with Newport Vessels, makers of electric kayak and outboard motors.
As avid kayak and tiny boat anglers, this father-son duo is the perfect fit for this partnership.
“I’m pumped up and excited on so many levels to be partnering with Newport!” Mike Iaconelli said. “Vegas and I are fish heads at heart and a lot of our fishing involves fishing from kayaks, small boats and skiffs. I love this style of fishing, because it brings me back to the roots of why I began fishing and allows me to fish water I couldn’t possibly access with bigger boats.
“Newport electric motors will help me get further, faster and more efficiently than ever before!” he added.
“We’re beyond thrilled to partner with Mike Iaconelli, the IKE brand, and the entire Professional Edge team,” said Howie Strech, Brand Marketing Manager at Newport Vessels. “Mike’s unmatched dedication to growing the sport, his energy, and his reputation as a true ‘fish head’ make him a natural fit for our brand.
“Collaborating with an angler who’s not only a Hall of Famer but also someone who continually brings excitement to the kayak and small boat fishing world is something we’re truly proud of,” he added.
“We’re equally excited with the addition of Vegas Iaconelli to this partnership as he makes his mark on competitive bass fishing,” Strech continued. “Vegas is a rising star who blends his innovative, new-age approach with the invaluable lessons he learns from his legendary father.
“Watching Vegas grow with Newport alongside one of the most influential figures in professional fishing is going to be incredible,” Strech said.
Newport Vessels offer a versatile electric motor lineup, including lightweight, compact, and powerful kayak motors that provide a smooth and efficient ride for anglers, recreational paddlers, and adventure seekers alike. The motors are engineered to enhance control and maneuverability, with adjustable speeds and quiet operation.
For those seeking more power, Newport Vessels’ outboard motors are also an excellent choice for smaller boats, offering reliable performance while still being portable and easy to mount. Their motors provide a durable and affordable solution for getting the most out the kayak or small boat experience. Activities that team Iaconelli enjoy in the backyard lake and in competition.
