BASS formed in 1968 to promote and
encourage fishing. Recognizing that

youngsters are the future of this great
sport, BASS took the lead of introducing
and educating youth about the sport of
fishing. 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 with accuracy. Mastering
these three techniques will give any
angler the skills they need to present lures and catch bass.

Bassmaster CastingKids remains the youngest level of Federation Nation youth programs, and partnership with the U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance only builds upon many years of CastingKids success. BASS continues to encourage Federation Nation adult and Junior Bassmaster anglers to attend these events and teach children the fundamental elements of safety, lure selection and lure presentations to include flipping, pitching and casting. With ever-present threats challenging our rights to hunt and fish and our children's ability to enjoy the natural resources, partners uniting their programs will help protect our legacy in the outdoors.
