I’ve heard them all for months, yet no one is saying anything. What is your speculation and thoughts of 3 major trails next year?

One is coming out, one is improving, and one is going down. Not sure which. I guess business models will tell us the most.

MLF is coming out with a trail soon. The three trails will be BASS, FLW, and the MLF circuit.
Its interesting though that Johnny Morris just inked a new deal with FLW.

Yep, so we know that FLW isn’t going away. I could see a name change though since he’s part of the Vexus boats now.

Forrest Wood and his grandson. Not sure why Johnny Morris would sponsor a trail with the name Forrest Wood on it with his new ties.

What I don't quite understand is that Johnny Morris is behind FLW. At the same time, he's behind BASS?

Fishing League Worldwide = FLW. I think FLW has always had a great business plan. Engrained in different markets to keep a balance, true to customers, true to grassroots , and just good people. Can’t say anything about the rest because I don’t know.
I think Morris signing deal with FLW was great. FLW stayed true to existing existing customers and new customers with the different brands will have similar contingency through White River.
The only thing I could say is if I was FLW is that I think they should amend qualification for Tour for 2019 and allow any active 2018 Elite angler that has ever fished a Tour level event in and just deal with big fields for next 2 years and keep everything the same.
So MLF is other one?

I think BPS has been behind BASS and White River is behind FLW
