Bass Pro Shops Spring Fishing Classic Features Fishing University, Pro anglers, Seminars, More
While the economy has many people scratching their heads trying to figure out how they can pay their bills and still afford to do things they enjoy, one company is making sure they can.
Bass Pro Shops is dedicated to ensuring families continue to have fun outdoors through their exciting, educational events such as the Spring Fishing Classic. Last year, more than 5 million people attended this event at Bass Pro Shops stores across America and Canada and this year promises to be even bigger. And, it is at a price everyone can afford—free
So you can’t go fishing for peacock bass on the Amazon this year but there are still local lakes and rivers full of fish. Maybe you can afford that new reel by trading in one of your old ones for a discount. And, just maybe you can win The Ultimate Family Vacation at Big Cedar® Lodge—America’s premier wilderness resort (retail value $9,300.00–US $9,673.00–Canada) or one of 52 Spring Fishing Packages valued at $580.00 (U.S) $630.00 (Canada)!
