We are talking about 2 different things. Josh claimed no entry fees was a selling point to get anglers to leave BASS and join BPT. That simply isn't true. But you are absolutely correct that after they voted to not have entry fees. Then that was a huge selling point they used publicly to advertise the trail.[/quote]
Bro you make no sense. So the guys came over and then no entry fees became a selling point? To who? The selling point to get the anglers over was a promise of no entry fees. There would be no point of advertising no entry if they already had the commitments.

Just like no livewells was part of their marketing

Dubee is correct, the no entry fee came about AFTER the guys left BASS.

T... I dont understand why a lot of ya'll are constantly butt hurt over something that is none of your business. These guys are not stupid, they know what they are doing. And you also have to remember serious bass fishermen aren't their target audience... They're out to get the "Lonely Housewives" who watch all the dribble they call "reality TV"... Dan

Lol, fair enough. I guess I can agree with you on that one. If that is the case it was not good marketing.

major league fishing pros get 4-6 1/2 hours of TV coverage every week...a huge increase over what they previously received from BASS.....TV coverage equals value to their sponsors and money in the pockets of pro fishermen...

To bad they are not allowed to wear their own jerseys and use their own boats to show off those sponsors like they are in BASS.

They do wear their own jerseys and use their own boats in BPT tournaments
