SAVE A RECEIPT Sponsor

Make your reservations NOW. Special lower pricing for Joe Bass Team Trail Invitational.

How we choose.

Our team invitational will be held at the conclusion of the 2026 team season. Locations for the team invitational will include, Table Rock, Truman, Lake of the Ozarks, Bull Shoals, or Stockton.

We have chosen these lakes for their close driving proximity. At JOE BASS we realize the expense of traveling to a location completely neutral to all of our divisions. So it is our decision that it would be beneficial to all of our anglers to keep it close resulting in the possibility of a team invitational on a divisional lake.

Each team invitational will have an $200.00 entry fee. The payback will be 80%. We will payback 1 for each 5 entered maximum 25 places. Qualifying will be determined through Division competition. Numerous sponsor products will be awarded. Division Champions will be recognized and rewarded for their accomplishment.

Win a NEW Skeeter boat & Yamaha outboard combination at the 2026 JOE BASS TEAM INVITATIONAL.

Every team that attends the 2026 Joe Bass Team Trail Invitational will have an equal opportunity to win the draw boat. The Skeeter/Yamaha package will be awarded based on participation, rather than performance. Equaling everyone’s chance to WIN.

At the JOE BASS Team Trail invitational thousands of dollars in cash and prizes will be awarded. Giveaways based on participation rather than performance. Please support those sponsors donating product.
