Now available, Daiwa’s new Tackle Barn

Barnstorming!

Now available, Daiwa’s new Tackle Barn founded on pioneering design and functionality 

[print_link]

Cypress, CA (January 26, 2021) – Not much in tackle storage solutions that are truly innovative. Some major improvements in utility boxes – sticky bottoms and improved compartmentalization – but not the bag that carries them. Same old stuff. Well, Daiwa is changing that with the barn-raising of Tackle Barn, which is now widely available.

The root of the brilliance are the Tackle Barn’s double topside gullwing doors, which give the clever tackle bag a barn shape, not the typical square or rectangular profile. Due to the ingenious design, tackle utility boxes are quickly and easily pulled out, swapped, and returned intact faster and more organized than recipe cards. This, unlike conventional tackle bags where, as you know, utility boxes end up strewn all over the boat. The distinctive, matched gullwing covers are easy to open and close, too, thanks to resilient hook and loop attachments.

The Tackle Barn’s durability and stormproof properties go from the from the ground up. Its waterproof base is specially reinforced to withstand real-life handling and splashed water that unavoidably rolls across the deck, always keeping its contents dry.

The Tackle Barn is shockingly spacious, too. It comes complete with four Daiwa 370 utility boxes and four 360 utility boxes, and will accommodate another four 370 or 360 size boxes. Despite its spaciousness, the Tackle Barn easily stows under most boat steering counsels.

And we haven’t even discussed the amenities… Furthering the Tackle Barn’s one-stop-shop stature, the ingenious tackle bag features a built-in, retractable leader spool wheel, durable sunglasses holder, beverage holder, and water-resistant tool and cell phone pouches. The storage pouches open and close with multiple #8 and #10 nylon zippers for a long, rustproof life.

Ingeniously, Daiwa’s Tackle Barn also features a retractable storm cover, which blankets the entire bag. Rains move in, easily cloak the Tackle Barn, and your gear is further protected from the elements.

Haul the Tackle Barn with either the built-in topside handle or included, removable shoulder strap. Unlike other tackle bags on the market, the Tackle Barn’s adjustable shoulder strap features a soft rubber grip pad to eliminate the nuisance of gear sliding off your shoulder on the dock or trail.

Leave it to the creative minds at Daiwa to engineer yet another best-of-the-best fishing product.

MSRP $199.99

Lake Eufaula Lands 2021 Bassmaster Team Championship Event

[print_link]

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — The last spot in the 2022 Academy Sports + Outdoors Bassmaster Classic presented by Huk will be filled on historic Lake Eufaula as this Alabama fishery hosts the Bassmaster Team Championship and Classic Fish-Off Dec. 8-11, 2021.

Battling for that coveted berth in the Bassmaster Classic will be the grassroots anglers competing at the Bassmaster Team Championship. The team portion of the event will be held Dec. 8-9 and will feature anglers from across the country — 32 states in 2020. The winning duo will not only win a cash prize, but they’ll also lead the charge into the Classic Fish-Off which will take place Dec. 10-11.

The top three teams through Day 2 — six anglers in all — will have their weights zeroed and then compete individually in the Fish-Off. The competitor with the heaviest two-day total of the group will earn their spot in the Classic. 

In 2020, that honor went to Jordan Wiggins, a 29-year-old Cullman, Ala., resident whose older brother Jesse notched a third-place finish in the 2019 Classic.

“What a wonderful way to end a year,” says Ann Sparks, Tourism and Main Street Executive Director for the City of Eufaula. “We are thrilled to be hosting the Bassmaster Team Championship and showing off what Lake Eufaula has to offer! Most anglers have fished our great lake, but we are excited to show off our changes and improvements to our beautiful town.”

B.A.S.S. has visited Lake Eufaula 17 times for major events, including an Elite Series tournament last year that was broadcast live to an audience of more than 2.8 million. The town itself — with a statue declaring Eufaula as the “Big Bass Capital of the World” — is known throughout the fishing industry as the hometown of legendary angler and lure designer Tom Mann. It’s the home of Mann’s Bait Company and the Johnson Outdoors location where Humminbird electronics are produced.

In addition to the Team Championship event, Lake Eufaula will also host the Bassmaster B.A.S.S. Nation Kayak Series powered by TourneyX on May 1.

The tournaments are being hosted by the Eufaula Barbour Chamber of Commerce.

Nominations Now Open For 2021 Class Of Bassmaster High School All-Americans

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — B.A.S.S. is seeking nominations for the best and brightest high school bass anglers in the country.

The Bassmaster High School All-American Fishing Team presented by Academy Sports + Outdoors recognizes the 12 most outstanding high school anglers in the nation. The program is designed to reward young athletes for their performance in tournaments, leadership in their communities and involvement in conservation efforts.

Applications for the team, which is now in its seventh year, will be accepted today through Feb. 22.

To be considered, a student must be nominated by a parent, coach, teacher or other school official. Students currently enrolled in grades 10 through 12 with a current grade point average of 2.5 or higher are eligible.

Judges will select up to two student anglers in each state. These All-State Fishing Team members will become semifinalists in the selection of the 12-member Bassmaster High School All-American Fishing Team presented by Academy Sports + Outdoors. Criteria include success in high school fishing tournaments and involvement in conservation efforts and other community service activities.

The anglers chosen will compete in a one-day Bassmaster High School All-American Tournament to be held in conjunction with the 2021 Bassmaster Elite at Neely Henry Lake which will be held May 6-9 — one of nine regular-season Bassmaster Elite Series tournaments being held this year. Elite Series anglers will serve as “coaches” for the student anglers in the one-day fishing event near Gadsden, Ala. The high school standouts and Elite Series coaches will be honored before the weigh-in crowd.

“The continued growth and success our High School All-American program has had over the past seven years is amazing,” said Hank Weldon, senior manager of the Bassmaster High School program. “We are so proud to offer a platform that not only recognizes successful student athletes on their accomplishments on the water, but on their academic success and community involvement as well. We can’t wait to see what this 2021 class of anglers has in store.”

All students who compete in high school fishing events are eligible, regardless if they are affiliated with B.A.S.S. or another fishing organization.

Notices have been sent to youth fishing directors of the B.A.S.S. Nation and other organizations, as well as leaders of state high school fishing programs. Adults can nominate students by filling out an online form at Bassmaster.com/allamerican. Nominations must be submitted before midnight on Feb. 22. Please send all questions to [email protected].

MLF Postpones Upcoming Lake Shasta Tournaments

Forest Service Restrictions Implemented in Response to Coronavirus Pandemic

REDDING, Calif. (Jan. 20, 2021) – Major League Fishing (MLF) announced today the postponement of three tournaments scheduled for Jan. 28-31 on Lake Shasta in Redding, California. The decision was made after MLF officials learned of new travel restrictions implemented by the Shasta-Trinity National Forest Service in response to the coronavirus pandemic. The new restrictions prevent anglers who are traveling from more than 120 miles away from competing in the event.

The MLF events that have been postponed are:

  • Jan. 28-30: Toyota Series presented by A.R.E. Western Division at Lake Shasta
  • Jan. 30: Abu Garcia College Fishing presented by YETI at Lake Shasta
  • Jan. 31: High School Fishing presented by Favorite Fishing at Lake Shasta

Rescheduled dates for these three events will be announced as soon as possible.

Being an inherently socially distant sport, the vast majority of 2021 tournaments will continue as scheduled, operating under COVID-19 protocols to safeguard the health and well-being of all involved. MLF will continue to follow the suggestions and guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, public health professionals and permitting agencies.

What is “the Hot Bite” by Josh Boyd

The world of professional bass fishing is enormous in scope and ever-changing. The landscape of the sport itself continually evolves, from day to day, and month to month. It seems as if the only constant truth is that as long as bass swim freely in our nation’s waters, there will always be a group of elite anglers seeking to top the leader board on any given weekend.

Without a doubt, professional bass fishing is as much a business, as it is a recreational endeavor. As such, top tier anglers push to further their careers, as they rightfully should. After all, many at the upper echelon of the sport rely upon their angling prowess and relationships with their sponsors to put food on the table and to keep the lights on.

In the midst of such dealings, much moving and shaking take place within the industry in any given month. For bass fishing die-hards the world over, events of this nature serve as noteworthy headlines. In short, those who loyally follow professional bass fishing, strive to stay abreast of all that is new and of significance in the sport.

We understand and empathize with this point. In fact, that is why The Hot Bite exists. The web is full of theoretical banter concerning the sport of bass fishing and the industry which surrounds it.

This column will catalog these breaking stories, and ponder the questions that few others ask. Do you want to know who has jumped from the Elites to MLF, or vice versa? Maybe you simply need to be filled in on changes in angler sponsorship, and a little insight into why such changes might have taken place. Either way, The Hot Bite has you covered.

Be sure to check back weekly to stay on top of all that is late-breaking in the world of professional bass fishing. The Bass Cast and The Hot Bites are your sources for the latest in industry news, events, and more.
