The Classic Bass Pro Hat has become a hit - including with folks who have never fished - and was even featured in a Wall Street Journal article about its must-have status. Here I've picked out a selection from the Bass Pro Shops product range (some you might be surprised to see) and provided my affiliate links so you can check them out directly (qualifying purchases mean between 1% and 5% of the price tag is passed on to Fishing Discoveries - which helps keep us online but does not increase the retail price you pay at all)

Classic Bass Pro Hat: 6-panel, Mesh-back & Leaping Bass Logo (4 Colors – One-Size Fits Most)

Pictured above, I had to start this article with the classic 6-panel Bass Pro hat with the mesh back for staying cool. The four colors for this option are Black, Woodland Camo, Olive/Black and Charcoal/Black. The snap-back closure can be adjusted for best fit.

For ease of navigation, here's a quick drop-down/collapsible Table of Contents for the rest of the featured hat styles:

Bass Pro Shops Special Variants

Bass Pro Hat: Local Crowns Striped Bass Cap

Bass Pro hat: Local Crowns Striped Bass Cap

Not a "striped bass" (species) - this is more of a largemouth bass with stripes! The hat design has the  full logo on the side, and a large, embroidered bass outline with graduated stripes across the front. It's a six-panel cap in classic black, with ventilated mesh back and a snap-back  closure for adjustable fit. The vent eyelets are all embroidered for  reinforcement and finish  along with the rows of stitching across the bill.

Bass Pro Hat: Bass Patch & Mesh Back Cap (4 Colors)

Bass Pro Shops Bucket Hat: Classic Leaping Bass Logo (3 Colors – One-Size Fits Most)

Multi row stitching and a ton of extra protection from UV damage to your skin. Thicker material than mesh-back caps and a brim all the way round in a tried and tested design. Available in black, navy or white, this is an alternative take on the Bass Pro Hat most people think of.

Special Edition Bass Pro Hat: World Fishing Fair  (2 Color Options)

World Fishing Fair Bass Pro Hat

Available in Navy or White (pictured), commemorating Bass Pro's 50th Anniversary, the World's Fishing Fair was held March 30th to April 3rd 2022. This special edition 6-panel hat marks the event which showcased the outdoors life of fishing, boating and conservation from the Springfield, Missouri headquarters.
