 What started as a passion, ended up turning into a business for Bassaholics owner Dan Norman. Based out of California, home to some of the biggest bass in the country, Bassaholics produces lifestyle apparel for hardcore anglers and swimbait lovers.

Bassaholics Clothing Tag
The company produces a full line of apparel for men and women anglers. Aiming to please all addicted trophy hunters, Bassaholics offers shirts (long and short sleeve), hats, visors, beanies, windbreakers, hoodies, socks and even belts.
Quality clothing, with branded tags.
Started in 2005, Dan says "he was inspired and helped by friend Luke Burrett, President and CEO of Silverstar Casting Company". Everything took off from there. At the time there was nothing else for the angler in the form of a dedicated clothing line. With his passion for swimbaits and fishing, he started a clothing company. National Sales Director Will Decker handles all the customer and tackle shop sales. Will can be reached at 949-481-3961.
Sewn on bass tags at the bottom of all shirts.
All Bassaholics apparel is handcrafted in the USA, and looks great both on the water hooking hawgs, or off the water picking up hotties. It's west coast trophy fishing inspired, and is similar to the trendy clothing you would find in PacSun. Fishing pros Dean Rojas and Mike Iaconelli, as well as WBT lady anglers are rocking the gear as well. It's even been spotted in the latest Bass Akwards DVD, Big Bait Posse.
Rigging gear or dreaming?
This isn't your normal clothing line either. Branding of Bassaholics is the first thing customers will notice. The tags on the shirt are adorned with the Bassaholics logo, even down to the shirt size tag. These are premium heavyweight shirts folks. Bassaholics Pull Over Hooded Sweatshirts offer uncompromised quality and carry their trademark outer sweatshirt "Addicted Label" and inner sweatshirt "Bass Tag". 
Flex Fit hats for the perfect fit.
Hats are custom fit using Flex Fit technology, which acts as a stretchable lining inside the hat. Personally, I don't think I will own another hat without this. Fortunately, its a common trend and lots of companies are using now. To test how well the fit was, it was able to take 30mph speeds in the boat and the hat did not become donated to the lake bottom.
Quality made and built for mad fishing.
So, "how can I rock some of this cool gear", you ask? Well, if you live in California, you are lucky, and can find Bassaholics at pretty much any tackle retailer. Bassaholics also serves 22 other states, as well as online retailers such as Tackle Warehouse , Bass Tackle Depot , Fisherman's Warehouse, USAC Proshop , and of course the Bassaholics website. Quality: If you're worried about sizing, the Medium fit me perfectly. I'm 5'9" and 175lbs. Normally Medium is what I wear, but I'm one of those people who is in between sizes of medium and large. The shirt sizes run a little big, but it worked in my favor. This is something to consider when ordering. Being pre-shrunk also helps.
All decked out rocking the gear.
hey're made of heavier 100% cotton, which really shines when you get a hook lodged. For men, shirt sizes run from Small all the way up to XXXL for you gentle giants. For women, small to xtra large sizes are availble in both baby doll tshirts and tank tops (shown below).
Women are addicted too!
Performance: Spending a day on the lake, or at the mall, you know this clothing is stylish. The thick cotton keeps you warm, whether you wear it under a jacket or not. The beanies will keep you out in the cold weather longer and help fight a tough wind at the same time.
Quality hat stitching. No iron ons here.
Application: I don't think there's much else to say. Their clothing is bold and trendy. Its even camera friendly when you get to share those huge lunkers we work so hard for. They have apparel to fit pretty much any occasion except a winter Alaskan outing.
Spotting some bass.
It should also be mentioned that at the time of press, the crew released about 4 new shirt designs as well as some new hats to the arsenal. This brings a total of 25 t-shirt choices, and 15 long sleeve variations to the lineup. Congratulations guys!
