What's the Better Half Tour?
Established for couples and mixed team bass anglers, the Better Half Tour is a competitive, friendly bass fishing tournament circuit.
Our 2020 season introduces new features; SIX tournaments, increased payouts, 2020 Points Championship. Highest Total Weight Bonus for New York events only, plus a bonus for all three Ohio events. Great sponsor prizes at every tournament.
55 teams fished the Better Half Tour in 2018. 74 teams joined us in 2019. The Accurate Auto Glass “Record Breaker Bonus” bar was also set higher in 2019 at Chautauqua Lake.
Join us in 2020 and see why our fishing teams smile in anticipation for these events. Check schedules & click around our site for more info.
