Backyard Bass - Learn to Cast
Backyard Bass makes learning to cast fun. Endorsed by the Future Fisherman Foundation, Backyard Bass are plastic casting targets shaped like fish that are used to teach casting techniques and improve casting accuracy. To use, simply place the Backyard Bass on the ground or float them in a
pond and start casting. Snag one of the fish with your casting plug and
reel it in -- just like real fishing! See Backyard Bass in action
The Backyard Bass are sold in sets of three fish and two casting plugs or as individual fish. Standard colors are blue, orange and yellow. Custom colors are available for quantities of more than 300 fish.
Backyard Bass are used by:
- Angler educators

Backyard Bass Angling Games
One Player
- Place each Backyard Bass at different distances from you. See how long it takes to reel in all three fish!
-
Assign a point value to each fish and see how many points you can earn.
-
Place a fish behind an obstacle: a bucket, rock, or chair-then try to catch it!
Two or More Players
- B-A-S-S: Place the Backyard Bass around the yard and take turns trying to catch a fish. When one player catches a fish – the other player then has a chance to catch the same fish from the same location with one try. If he does, the game goes on; but if he doesn’t, he gets a letter, “B”. Keep going until someone spells BASS. The player with the fewest letters wins.
- Players assign a point value to each fish and cast to see who can accumulate the most points
- Each player chooses a fish and places it 15 feet away--see who can reel in their fish first!
