December 13, 2024 (SPRINGFIELD, Mo.)– Today, Outdoor Team Works is proud to announce the 2025 Bass Pro Shops & Cabela’s National Walleye Tour (NWT) presented by Progressive entry fees and payouts for next season.
NWT is proud to announce deeper payouts for the upcoming season. Overall payout purse will increase and extend deeper into the field than in the 2024 season. Payouts will now be paid down to 31st place based on 125 boat field which will reflect a 1-in-4 payout. To support this new structure, entry fees will be $2,000 for Pro-Anglers and $650 for Co-Anglers, which will help provide for the expanded payout.
The 2025 NWT Championship will remain a free entry-fee to Pro-Anglers and $500 to Co-Anglers, and the 2025 NWT Championship payouts will remain the same with $30,000 cash going to the 2025 NWT Champion and a new Ranger 620FS powered by a Mercury 250 Pro XS.
Outdoor TeamWorks believes that these changes will help promote the prosperity of the NWT and encourage participation. NWT is proud to remain the top national walleye tournament fishing tour, devoted to deliver top payouts and competition opportunities to anglers across the US and Canada.
2025 NWT registration will begin on Monday, February 3rd. More details on registration will be released next week.
