Discount Tackle Announces National Partnership with The Bass Federation for 2026 Season
We’re proud to officially announce a new national partnership between Discount Tackle and The Bass Federation (TBF) beginning with the 2026 tournament season.
As one of the most respected grassroots bass fishing organizations in the country, The Bass Federation represents thousands of dedicated anglers competing across state-level tournaments nationwide. For us at Discount Tackle, this partnership isn’t just another sponsorship — it’s an opportunity to support the backbone of competitive bass fishing at every level.
Supporting Anglers in Every State
Our 2026 national sponsorship will extend across all states with active TBF tournaments, allowing us to connect directly with anglers who are putting in the work week in and week out on their home waters.
From local state events to national pathways, TBF anglers are some of the most passionate and knowledgeable fishermen in the sport. They demand gear that performs, and they deserve access to the brands and products they trust.
That’s where we come in.
At Discount Tackle, our mission has always been simple:
Provide serious anglers with the right gear, at the right price, delivered fast.
Through this partnership, we’re excited to support TBF members with access to premium tackle, exclusive promotions, and product opportunities that help them compete with confidence all season long.
Driving Excitement On and Off the Water
Competitive fishing continues to grow, and TBF plays a major role in developing anglers at the grassroots level. We’re looking forward to working alongside state directors and tournament organizers to create added value at events throughout the country.
Discount Tackle Product & Marketing Manager Jamie McEldowney said, “We’re excited to bring new opportunities to TBF anglers nationwide, including a gift card award program at all National Semifinal events. The highest-finishing team outside of the payout will receive a Discount Tackle gift card to use at discounttackle.com, along with an oversized take-home gift card they can proudly display in their office, garage, or tackle room.
We’re also launching a Discount Tackle Shopping Spree Giveaway exclusively for TBF members. Anglers can enter for a chance to win one of 15 shopping sprees, including one $1,000 Grand Prize, four $250 Second-Place prizes, and ten $100 Third-Place prizes.
Finally, the winners of the TBF National Championship will each receive a $250 Discount Tackle gift card.”
Whether it’s helping stock tackle boxes before tournament day, supporting event-level visibility, or creating opportunities that directly benefit anglers, our goal is simple — be a trusted resource for every TBF competitor.
We know tournament fishing requires preparation, precision, and reliable equipment. From terminal tackle and hard baits to rods, reels, and seasonal must-haves, we’re committed to making sure TBF anglers have access to everything they need to perform at their highest level.
Looking Ahead to 2026
We’re genuinely excited about what 2026 holds. The Bass Federation has built something special over decades of leadership in competitive fishing, and we’re honored to stand alongside them as a national partner.
To the TBF anglers across the country — we’re looking forward to supporting you this season and beyond. We can’t wait to see you on the water.
Here’s to a strong 2026 season.
