Gabriele "BAGA" Bagante

Vicenza / North East of Italy. Bassangler.  

I'm from Altavilla Vicentina, a small town near Vicenza in the Veneto region of Italy.

My fishing journey began when I was a child, spending time with my father as we fished for trout and catfish in the small lakes and rivers scattered throughout Veneto. Those early experiences not only taught me the basics of fishing but also ignited a passion that has only grown over the years.

In 2013, I discovered bass fishing, which quickly became my primary focus. Shortly after, I purchased my first belly boat, marking the beginning of a new chapter in my fishing journey. The following year, I entered the Belly Boat National Tournament, and in 2016, I expanded my horizons by participating in the National Trolling Motor-Boat Tournament.

In 2020, I had the pleasure of meeting Ivan Bolognese, who introduced me to the Flatform Junior from SEVEN BASS. After trying it out, I was immediately impressed, and since then, I’ve exclusively used SEVEN BASS equipment. Currently, I have both the Flatform Junior and the Nano at my disposal, which have become my trusted companions on the water.

I fish for bass year-round, but I’m eager to expand my skills and knowledge by exploring other freshwater and saltwater predator species. The thrill of learning new techniques and targeting different species keeps my passion for fishing alive and ever-evolving.
