When you launch the game for the first time, you’ll need to setup your angler. You’ll have 10 Elite Series pros to choose from, or you can select a custom angler to start customising. The first thing you’ll get to do is select your angler’s look from a variety of faces. Which best represents you?

Once you’ve settled on the look of your pro angler you can then alter their hairstyle, body shape, clothing, and other options such as beards (which we know you’ve been looking forward to), which will come in post launch updates.

The team has been working with industry leading artists on new hair for Bassmaster® Fishing 2022. You’ll be able to pick from a range of highly detailed hair styles that bring your angler to life and in a post-launch update you’ll also be able to change your hair colour.

Next, you’ll be setting up your “Practice” and “Tournament” outfits. These are two different outfits that you’ll automatically change between depending on the game mode you’re playing. If you’re out on the water, exploring and learning the venues then you’ll be in your “Practice” gear. Once it’s time to get serious and compete, you’ll be wearing your “Tournament” clothing.

You’ll have a huge selection of clothing to choose from, so you can stand out from the crowd when you’re up on the Bassmaster Stage. Tournament Jerseys are a great way to make your angler look the part, and come in a variety of styles, including some unique custom ones specific to venues (in case you want to represent your hometown), Bassmaster series, and more. Below is a quick glimpse at a small selection of the Tournament Jerseys.

To top off your setup you’ll be able to equip your angler with hats, sunglasses with different coloured lenses and snoods, to keep the chill off your angler when fishing in cold conditions.

Customising your character doesn’t stop here though! As you level up your angler profile, you’ll unlock more cosmetics and fishing equipment. You’ll also have Mastery Challenges to complete which gives you various unique cosmetic rewards. If you haven’t already checked it out, we have spoken about the new Mastery system coming to Bassmaster® Fishing 2022 here – Game Modes & Mastery.

With so much choice when customising your angler, it will be easy for players to know who you are when they see you on the water.
