Every bass fisherman worth his salt keeps his eye on the Bassmaster tournaments. For most of us, it’s a dream to be able to reel them in like Kevin VanDam, Chris Lane or Brent Chapman. While most bass fishermen will never enter a Bassmaster tour, there is much to be learned from it.

The Bassmaster Classic is the biggest tournament of the year. It kicks off the season in February with an exciting competition between the best fishermen in the country as they compete for a top prize of $500,000. In order to compete in this tournament, fishermen need to have qualified as previous year’s champions from the Bassmaster Elite Series, Opens Series and Federation Nation Series, as well as the College Champion, the returning Classic Champion and those selected from the Angler of the Year Points Rank.

Inspiration Comes From the Bassmaster Tour

Bassmaster Classic is the yearly tournament of tournaments. Known as the Super Bowl of bass fishing, it inspires fishermen around the country. There are many who dream of one day being good enough to qualify for it. There are many others who watch it simply to see what the pros are doing so they can become better fishermen by learning from them. With tournaments practically all year long there is always one to follow.

Tools of the Bassmaster Tour

Take a close look at the guys out there competing in the Bassmaster tour. Many of them are fishing in boats with pretty much the same equipment. That’s because they have tried different gear and they know exactly what helps them be the best bass fisherman they can be. When they find something that gives them an advantage, they seize it and stick with it until something better comes along.

One of the best additions to any boat is one you find on practically every BassMaster champion’s boat – the Power-Pole® shallow water anchor. This hydraulic anchor is the tool that stops your boat at the precise spot, so you catch more. It holds you right where you want to be even if there’s wind or currents working against you. It is easy to use with remote control, foot switch and even Smartphone control technology, and gives you the kind of fishing advantage that the champions know is essential.
