Stephen Price, CEO of SteelShad remarks, "We are so excited about the growth in the sport of College Bass Fishing and we want to support these students in a significant way.  We plan to support each applicant for the SteelShad College Scholarship Program with SteelShad lures and we will award each winner a scholarship check for $1,000 in May of 2018.  We are proud to help support each student and the sport of College Bass Fishing as a whole."

Captain Steve Niemoeller, VP of SteelShad and Full-time Fishing Guide says, "I am very happy to see these talented, young anglers pursue bass fishing during their college years.  We are proud to support them and their college bass fishing teams.  The sport of college bass fishing is expanding the sport and the number of anglers nationwide."

Jim Root, Pro Staff Team Member of SteelShad says, "College Bass Fishing is now a permanent part of the tournament landscape.  I am excited to be partnering with SteelShad to announce these scholarships and engage with college bass fisherman nationwide as we talk to applicants and get them SteelShad lures and gear."

The SteelShad Fishing Company is proud to be a supporter of College Bass Fishing. Last year, three best friends partnered together with Captain Steve Niemoeller to launch the SteelShad Fishing Company nationwide.  The SteelShad fishing lure was designed and perfected by Anglers and Guides whom are on the water every day.  Captain Steve, a full-time fishing guide in Florida, says, "Once you catch your first trophy fish on a SteelShad, it's hard to go back to other baits."  SteelShad makes fishing simple, easy and fun. 

Pro Bass Anglers are discovering SteelShad as well.  Jay Yelas, 2002 Bassmaster Classic Champion, says that he likes to fish SteelShad because, "Fish just bite it!  It's a fun lure to fish because so many species of gamefish will eat the SteelShad.  It's a very versatile lure and a must-have for my tackle box."

Anglers love SteelShad because "Fish Bite It!"
