TNT Fireworks of Florence ‘adds spark’ to Bassmaster Team Championship as title sponsor

BIRMINGHAM — Florence’s TNT Fireworks, the nation’s largest distributor of consumer fireworks, will be the title sponsor of the next month’s Bassmaster Team Championship on South Carolina’s Lake Hartwell. BASS officials made the announcement this week.

The 2025 TNT Fireworks Bassmaster Team Championship is the culmination of a yearlong competition. Anglers from team trails across the country will have the chance to fish for one of the most coveted prizes in competitive bass fishing — a spot in the 2026 Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Classic presented by Under Armour.

More than 200 two-angler teams representing BASS-sanctioned team trails nationwide will compete Dec. 3-6  for the title. The top three teams will then split up and compete individually in a two-day fish-off with the winner earning the final spot in the Bassmaster Classic field.

“TNT Fireworks is thrilled to be the official sponsor of the 2025 Bassmaster Team Championship,” said Carson Anderson, president of TNT Fireworks. “We look forward to watching anglers from across the country experience the excitement and energy of competition at beautiful Lake Hartwell.”

TNT Fireworks, headquartered in Florence, has been lighting up celebrations for more than 100 years. Lake Hartwell has hosted multiple major BASS tournaments, including the Bassmaster Classic, and is known for its healthy populations of both largemouth and spotted bass. 

“The Bassmaster Team Championship is one of the most special events we host each year because it represents the heart of competitive fishing: everyday anglers earning their shot at the Classic,” said BASS Nation Tournament Manager GL Compton. “Having TNT Fireworks as our title sponsor adds an extra spark to an already exciting event. Their enthusiasm for community, celebration and competition mirrors what this championship is all about.”

Fans can follow live coverage of the 2025 TNT Fireworks Bassmaster Team Championship on Bassmaster.com and across BASS social media platforms, including live weigh-ins, photo galleries and on-the-water updates.
