Top Rod Bassmasters is a bass fishing club that mostly fishes lakes and rivers in Southern New Jersey. 


The club was formed in 1993 by the 2003 Bassmaster Classic & 2006 Bassmaster Angler of the Year, Mike Iaconelli & friends.

Besides being very competitive throughout the season, Top Rod Bassmasters is a club with lots of comraderie and sharing of information in order for all members to improve their technique.

Club members are encouraged to fish other tournament circuits including the FLW Outdoors, Bassmasters and ABA circuits.
