Bass University (BU) offers premier bass fishing education programs in three formats: online, in the classroom, and on the water. Founded in 2009 by Mike Iaconelli and Pete Gluszek, Bass University programs help anglers of all skill levels gain confidence in new tactics and techniques. The Bass University teaching model incorporates top professional anglers who educate students on seasonal patterns, techniques, and lure modifications using state-of-the-art presentation technology. Anglers of the highest professional level and anglers just starting out rely on Bass University for the top educational content in the industry. “Never Stop Learning” is the ethos guiding BU’s mission to help anglers gain confidence in new tactics and techniques to catch more and bigger bass consistently.
Each Bass University event location features six Bassmaster and Major League Fishing Professional Anglers, who present a total of 12 seminars over two days. Each seminar is approximately 45 minutes and covers cutting-edge bass fishing tactics, techniques, and tackle. Some featured topics include, Forward-Facing Sonar for All-Year Success, Targeting Giant Bass, Big Bait Tactics and The Power of the Dropshot. Bass University events feature round table discussions, breakout sessions, and the opportunity for one-on-one interactions with the pros. Attendees can ask questions, get autographs, and snap a picture with their favorite fishing pro.
Bass University classroom seminars are also a great way to connect with other passionate bass anglers, make new friends, or even find a new fishing partner. Bass University seminars are two-day events, but individual days can be purchased. Anglers of all ages and skill levels can register online at TheBassUniversity.com/class-training to guarantee a spot in class. Walk-in registrants are welcome if space allows, starting at 7:00 a.m. on Saturday and 7:30 a.m. on Sunday. Special rates are available for students and youth 17 and younger. All students will be treated to lunch and receive a swag bag full of amazing products from Rapala, Crush City, VMC, Cortland Line and more. In addition, each attendee will receive a custom Bass University T-shirt.
