I keep getting requests to be a lifetime member of B.A.S.S. Do you think it’s worth it??? I don’t care to much for what you get to join. If they take the tackle bag out and that hat that’s too small and replace it with a lews reel I might think about it. Just saying, Anyway happy fishing. Look forward too your reply’s

So much good information on YouTube and the internet, if you think it'd worth it go for it, or you could also use that money towards gas and plastics to learn more through being out on the water and using information you learned for free

You my friend are a wise man

I am a charter life B.A.S.S. Member since 1968.

Free Bassmaster magazines and B.A.S.S. Times over 50 years made it we’ll worth it for me. Never received any lure packages or anything else for being a life member.

I wouldn’t  be a new B.A.S.S. member today, too many good bass fishing resources available like this site.

Not really.

Nope.  As stated above, there is a wealth of information online if you know where to look.

Are you fishing BASS tournaments/clubs where you are required to be a member to fish? 

 

That's another thing to consider. 

For our high school tourneys, we have to be a registered BASS member I pay $10 every year.  You get two really good (IMO) magazines every month, and some stickers.  If you get the lifetime membership, you get a reel and line, lures, etc.  Some of the articles in the magazines, 25%-50%, make it onto the website.  Just depends if you want.

I'm a member of BASS, but I can't tell you the last time I opened one of the magazines I get. 

I was a member many years ago, rejoined last year because of the good memories of highly informative articles.

 

Very disappointed - I get ten times as much info here than I do from the mag...gonna let my membership fade back into the woodwork when it's up.

I was a member for almost three decades. If I had foreseen that, I would have chosen a lifetime membership and saved some cash. 
if you plan on continuing fishing competitively, it may be a worthwhile investment

It's really the only reason I'd ever join again.  I've been an officer in a club and heard their dog and pony about benefits, and really all I saw was an insurance salesman.  So, between that and some crazy path to the Classic, they don't offer a ton.

I get an e-mail at least once a week trying to get me sign up with them again. I don't need anything they give you for signing up again and I can get as good or better information in many other places.

Depending on your age, I think that it's well worth it. Now that I'm in my 60's it's probably not worth it to me. I wish that I had purchased a lifetime membership in my mid 20's when I got serious about bass fishing.
