Vermont's Let's Go Fishing Program (LGF)purchased enough Backyard Bass to put into totes that will be traveling around the state and used by LGF instructors as they teach kids and their families the importance of aquatic ecology and fishing. The Bass are always a draw at LGF events and kids enjoy practicing their casting skills trying to "catch" one. We put various fish identification stickers on the back of the Bass, so when a kid "catches" a fish, he/she has to find out if it is a keeper by looking in the law digest. These Bass are a hit at every LGF clinic we hold!
These are great for teaching children how to cast a fishing pole safely. We had borrowed a set to use in a lake association children's camp and this year decided we wanted to own a set. Very easy to use and you can switch the weighted fake plug with a real hook when the time comes. Kids love trying to "catch" the fish even when they already know how to cast. Very reasonable price and durable.Thanks.
You won't be disappointed with this purchase! If you are an educator, the kids absolutely love these targets!
Thanks for getting the backyard bass to me so quickly. I was planning to use them for cub scouts. They were a big hit, I used them with one group of boys but all the boys wanted to come have a try. Going to use them at a family reunion too this summer. I would suggest that I you are going to order the backyard bass to get the big kit, it is nice to have several poles practicing at once.
It was the #1 hit at our annual Fishing Weekend. We used it to teach casting techniques with various types of fishing equipment. It easily adapts to the skill levels of the participants. The instructors were able to challenge themselves as well as their students.
We initially played with these at a cub scout camp. They were so fun that we bought them for ourselves.
Great tool for introducing young ones to fishing
The kids love playing with this! Plus, it arrived quickly and packed well.
Excellent product and was a success with the children and adults. The fishes were heavy and for young children a heavy rubber material vs. the hard plastic would be a better idea. Also a little pricy for what they are so don't plan to outfit all my families with them, but this was a special birthday and required something special. Thank you for the product.
This is a fantastic product that is helping my grandson with casting and playing a game with his friends. Excellent tool for anytime learning and practice of casting skills. Order placed through company and everything was excellent, including fast shipping. I can’t say enough about the quality of the product and ease to get playing. Thanks!
