Modern bass fishing has evolved into a multi-billion dollar industry. The sport has changed drastically since its beginnings in the late 1800s. From humble beginnings, the black bass has become the second most specifically sought-after game fish in the United States. The sport has driven the development of all manner of fishing gear, including rods, reels, lines, lures, electronic depth and fish-finding instruments, drift boats, float tubes, and specialized bass boats.
We are a new bass fishing site with 500+ pages of comprehensive facts on bass, fishing techniques for each season and watershed including detailed information on knots, tackle, weights, rods, reels as well as various resources and our forum.
