Westernbass Magazine, Fall 2025
Fall marks the close of another exciting tournament season and brings with it the much-anticipated Tournament of Champions events. It’s hard to believe how fast the year has flown by! This season may have spared us the chaos of recent years—no COVID shutdowns, supply chain nightmares, or extreme water levels—but it brought a new challenge for California anglers: Golden Mussel restrictions and launch closures. These invasive species continue to disrupt fisheries across the state, with recent restrictions at Diamond Valley Lake (DVL) underscoring the ongoing impact. That said, there was a silver lining for Delta and Clear Lake anglers: the introduction of the Golden Mussel Region by Randy Pringle at Best Bass Tournaments (BBT). His forward-thinking solution allowed for localized, single-area launch team opens at venues affected by broader closures. We appreciate the continued innovation and commitment to the sport—thank you, Randy. On a more exciting note, shipments of new gear from ICAST 2025 have already begun arriving! It’s always a thrill to see what’s coming next, and you can check out many of the latest product releases from online at Fisherman’s Warehouse—our WesternBass advertisers are rolling out some serious game-changers.

DAIWA: 2025 TATULA Rods
NEW FOR 2025 Covering Your Bass…Again DAIWA goes all out new 23 model lineup of 2025 TATULA cork handle bass rods
-
Redesigned and upgraded.
The new 25 Tatula Bass Rods are not just a reintroduction, they're the next evolution in affordable technique-specific bass rods. Now featuring Daiwa's high-density SVF graphite, which uses less resin to bind the graphite fibers, resulting in a lighter rod without sacrifice to its strength. The increased graphite density means faster energy transfer from the rod tip to the anglers hand, giving anglers almost hair-detecting sensitivity. The SVF graphite is constructed using Daiwa's X45 bias process, wrapping the layers at crossing 45-degree angles to perfectly spine the rod and prevent twisting of the blank, both factors greatly improve casting accuracy and hook-driving power. The rod is adorned with Fuji O concept guides with deep-pressed aluminum oxide rings within the guide frame provide long lasting protection and plenty of clearance for braid-leader connections. New custom Tatula reel seats serve a form fitting grip to ease arm and wrist fatigue. A custom lock nut on the real seat provides ample grip to firmly secure your reel to the rod. Subtle yet distinguished spiderweb cosmetics ease identification on the deck and premium cork grips give timeless appeal and comfort. With 23 technique specific rods, including 2 Glatech fiberglass construction models, the new Tatula Bass Rods have got your bass covered.
