BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — B.A.S.S. today announced that Seaguar, a leader in fishing line innovation, has renewed its youth sponsorship of the Tackle Warehouse Bassmaster Junior Series, Strike King Bassmaster High School Series and the Strike King Bassmaster College Series presented by Bass Pro Shops for the 2026 season.

The continued partnership underscores Seaguar’s long-standing commitment to youth, family fishing and angler development, supporting thousands of young competitors and coaches nationwide as they progress through the Bassmaster youth pipeline.

Seaguar’s emphasis on education, accessibility and performance aligns naturally with B.A.S.S. youth programs, which introduce anglers to organized competition while emphasizing conservation, sportsmanship and lifelong participation in the sport. By investing in Junior, High School and College anglers, Seaguar helps ensure young fishermen and women have access to trusted products and meaningful engagement as they advance through each competitive level.

“We are committed to supporting youth and family fishing adventures and helping to lure in the next generation of anglers through our relationship with BASS and sponsorship of Bassmaster Youth Fishing events,” said John Whelan, Seaguar Marketing Manager. “We look forward to meeting fishing teams and coaches at the events and encourage coaches to sign-up for our VIP Scholastic Fishing Program.”

As part of the 2026 renewal, Seaguar will continue to engage directly with youth anglers and coaches at events across the country, providing product education and opportunities to learn more about line selection, technique and on-the-water preparation.

“Seaguar has been an outstanding partner in our youth programs because they share our passion for growing the sport the right way,” said Phillip Johnson, Chief Operating Officer of B.A.S.S. “Their continued support of the Junior, High School and College Series reflects a genuine commitment to young anglers, families and coaches who represent the future of competitive fishing. We’re proud to continue working together to create positive, lasting experiences at every level of youth competition.”

The Bassmaster Junior, High School and College Series collectively form the foundation of B.A.S.S.’s youth and scholastic fishing programs, providing clear pathways for young anglers to develop skills, compete nationally and pursue future opportunities within the sport.
