Welcome the California Bass Federation
Well, to get things started CBF club members now have more opportunities for advancement in major tournaments through the Federation process then ever before. Because of our new sponsor and partners, FLW and BassFan, our members nationally can advance past the Federation Division Championships to 26 spots instead of 6:
- 2 spots in the FLW Cup
- 12 spots in the BFL All American
- 12 spots in the BassFan Army Weekend Warrior Championships
Members also get priority sign up for FLW events. Another of our new sponsors, the Army National Guard, has jumped on board to take the lead in our Youth and Conservation efforts. They are the name sake for the Junior Angler Championships, to be held during the FLW Championship, and are looking to assist our federation membership with other Youth and Conservation projects, with monies and manpower throughout the country. I urge clubs to contact us with ideas regarding conservation projects so that we might offer an assist.
We still have a $1,000,000 limited liability insurance policy for our member clubs and it offers an additional $25,000 in excess medical coverage that we didn’t have before.
Members can get discount prices from many of our sponsors either on the TBF, Inc. http://www.bassfederation.com or California Bass http://www.californiabass.org Web sites or through a federation board member. These sponsors include Lowrance Electronics, Ranger Boats, All Pro Rods and many more. These are substantial discounts available only to federation members and we encourage our club members that are looking to make such purchases to do so via the Federation discounts.
We will continue to fight for the rights of the bass anglers of our state on those issues as they arise and are important to our membership and all of the states anglers. We are here for our membership. I strongly encourage you to get in touch with us whenever you have any questions or concerns as we are committed to serving you, our club membership, feverishly to make our State Federation one of the strongest in the nation.
