Anglers have Casted to this Page
The CASTINGKIDS Program from B.A.S.S.
is a Free Casting Competition hosted by
local BASS Chapters all over the country.
In 1991, BASS developed the Bassmaster CastingKids program, which is similar to the NFL punt, pass and kick events. However, in CastingKids the challenge is to flip, pitch and cast a hookless lure to a bull's-eye target. Mastering these three techniques will give any angler the skills they need to present any lure and catch bass. Scoring is based on a points system so the young angler with the most points wins! To date, nearly two million children have been awarded more than $3 million awards, prizes and scholarships, the Bassmaster CastingKids program is the most successful youth fishing program in the world.
Each local event has two winners, one in each age group (7-10 years of age and 11-14 years of age). The winners then proceed to their respective state finals. The CastingKids competitors who emerge as the top-performing competitor in his or her state will advance to one of six Federation Nation divisionals, based on geographic criteria.
