The Tournament Bass Team
The Michigan State University Tournament Bass Team is one of the oldest Collegiate Fishing Teams in the country. The club was started in the mid-1990s with the goal of allowing Spartan Anglers to compete against other anglers from around the Midwest. We now compete in various tournament trails such as Bassmaster College, MLF, and Michigan College Bass Tour. To participate, become a club member and learn more about how you can represent Michigan State!

Tournament information and Club policy
-
Michigan State University does not fund our club in anyway. Therefore, they don't cover any costs of our tournament team. The club is solely funded by members, financial sponsorship, and donations.
-
Neither the club nor the university provides boats for any members. All boats must be owned or borrowed from an outside source.
-
We do not offer scholarships. Collegiate fishing is not an NCAA regulated sport. We are only considered a club and do not have financial authority to give any scholarships.
-
We would love to work with you in getting you to tournament fish with us! If there is anything not listed that we could help you with, please reach out.
-
We try our best to reimburse our members for entry fees or other smaller tournament related costs (subject to change)
