Shebassfishes.
A national touring tournament series built for women anglers. Five stops across the South and Midwest, boater and co-angler divisions, full entry-fee payback, and a championship that means something.
A tour that treats women's bass fishing like the sport it is.
The Women's National Bass League exists so that a woman who wants to fish competitively at a high level has somewhere to do it — with real payouts, a season-long points race, and host communities that show up.
We're run by women who have fished tournaments for decades and we've built the tour we always wanted to fish.
Every stop is a two-day event. Every angler who enters knows exactly how the money is paid out. And every host city gets a tour that's easy to work with and brings tourism dollars.
100% of entry fees go back to the anglers.
How the tour works
Divisions
Boaters and co-anglers compete in separate divisions with separate payouts and separate Angler of the Year races. Co-anglers are paired with a different boater each day by random draw.
Stops
Four regular-season events plus the championship. Fish any stop as a stand-alone tournament, or fish the season and chase points.
Payback
Every dollar of entry fees is paid out to the top finishers at that event.
Angler of the Year
Points are earned at each regular-season stop. Your best finishes count toward the AOY title in each division, with a bonus paid to the winner.
Championship
The season closes on Bull Shoals.
Who can fish
Any woman 18 or older with a valid fishing license for the host state. No qualifying events — a WNBL membership and your entry fee are all it takes.
2027 season
Dates and host communities are confirmed as permits and venues are finalized. Registration for each stop opens sixty days out.

Put your brand on the water with us.
Tour sponsors are paid back in a way most sports can't offer: authentic content, an audience that buys in, and host communities that welcome the brands who show up for women's fishing.
