Officials announced that longtime B.A.S.S. partner Bass Pro Shops would expand its sponsorship of the Bassmaster Tournament Trail for 2022.
As part of a new multi-year agreement, Bass Pro Shops will be a premier sponsor for the B.A.S.S. Tournament Trail, including the Bassmaster Elite Series and the Bassmaster Classic. It has also taken over as title sponsor of the Bassmaster Team Championship and will continue as presenting sponsor of the Bassmaster College Series.
“For decades, B.A.S.S. and Bass Pro Shops have shared a vision to get more people on the water and fishing, and we deeply appreciate their continued partnership as they elevate their sponsorship of the Bassmaster Tournament Trails to the premier level,” said B.A.S.S. CEO Chase Anderson. “Their sponsorship and support for both college anglers and team trail and grass-roots anglers from across the country are invaluable.”
B.A.S.S. will participate in the World’s Fishing Fair March 30-April 3, 2022, with 50 percent of proceeds given to conservation.
“As a young angler, fishing in the first national B.A.S.S. tournament on Table Rock Lake served as my inspiration for starting Bass Pro Shops,” said Johnny Morris, noted conservationist and founder of Bass Pro Shops. “Now, as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Bass Pro Shops this year, our expanded partnership brings it full circle. We’re excited to work alongside our friends at B.A.S.S. to elevate the sport of fishing further, connect folks to nature and invest in conservation.”
