Disclosure & Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

Short version: Bass-Dash participates in the Amazon Associates program and other affiliate programs. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This helps us keep the site free and up to date.

Amazon Associates Program

Bass-Dash (bass-dash.com) is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.

When you click an "Amazon.com" link on this site and make a qualifying purchase, we may receive a small commission. The price you pay is not affected.

What This Means for You

We only recommend tackle and gear that appears in real Japanese fishing reports or is verified as used by professional anglers we cover. Affiliate relationships do not influence which products are featured or how they are described.

All recommendations are based on actual catch data from Japan's top bass reservoirs (300+ fishing reports) and publicly sourced information from professional anglers' official YouTube channels and interviews.

FTC Compliance

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255), Bass-Dash discloses its material connections to advertisers and affiliate programs. Every page on this site that contains affiliate links displays an affiliate disclosure notice.

Other Affiliate Programs

In addition to Amazon.com, the Japanese version of this site (bass-dash.com) participates in affiliate programs for Amazon.co.jp, Rakuten Ichiba, and Yahoo! Shopping Japan. These programs are subject to the same editorial standards described above.

Advertising (Google AdSense)

Bass-Dash uses third-party advertising, including Google AdSense, to help keep the site free. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info.

Cookies & Analytics

This site uses cookies for three purposes: (1) Google Analytics 4, to understand anonymous, aggregated traffic and usage; (2) Google AdSense and its partners, to serve and measure advertising as described above; and (3) affiliate networks (Amazon Associates, eBay Partner Network), to attribute qualifying purchases.

We do not collect names, addresses, or payment information directly — the site has no account, login, or checkout. You can disable or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. For more on how Google handles data, see the Google Privacy & Terms.
