Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's Spring Fishing Classic returns with incredible savings, family fun and opportunity to give back
Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's is celebrating the kickoff of fishing season with the largest nationwide fishing sale of the year, the 2022 Spring Fishing Classic. This iconic annual event is a free celebration of the great sport of fishing for anglers of all skill levels from March 10 through 30.
Rod and Reel Trade-Ins for a Good Cause, Big Savings
Taking place at every Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's retail location across the U.S., the 21-day Spring Fishing Classic invites customers to trade in used fishing gear for big savings. Customers can donate used rods and reels, in working order, to receive trade-in savings of up to $150 toward the purchase of a new rod and reel.
The refurbished fishing equipment will be donated to local youth nonprofit organizations so more kids can learn how to fish. Since the program's inception six years ago, Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's, alongside their customers, has donated more than 400,000 products to youth-focused nonprofit organizations. The equipment donated by Bass Pro Shops & Cabela's customers has given countless children the ability to discover fishing, teaching the next generation of anglers to enjoy, love and conserve the great outdoors.
