I don't believe it'll get banned. I do think BASS might make some adjustments to how it's used. Meaning, I think they might limit the number of transducers (I think some guys had 2 or3 FFS units going at times) one can have on the boat, or at least the bow.

Also could see something like fish being hooked outside the mouth not being legal.

Rather than banning it, I think what BASS should really focus on is finding a different way to cover anglers using FFS on BASS LIVE. I don't know exactly what that is, but there's got a be a creative way to get more excitement out of a guy catching tournament winning fish. They've shown their screens on the coverage before, that's ok, but kind of boring after a while too. Like I said, I'm not sure what it is but there are people that get paid to make the production better and hopefully they can put their heads together to make it interesting.

Only way they can make watching fishing with FFS more enjoyable is maybe have the angler do hand stands or break dancing on the front deck after each fish caught, Mike Iconeli on steroids lol.

Actually if their screen on FFS unit was pip on display on the tv I think it would super cool.

The only way they can make fishing better to watch is condensing it down to a 1 hr show..... and then it's slightly better than Bob Ross

Bass fisherman are not going to go without the FFS and if they ban the use in tournaments they will use them in practice then take them off in tournaments . Money talks and B/S walks . Bass fisherman are to spoiled to go without FFS. even if it is the same as spot lighting deer . To me it takes away from the game and it deals the poor fisherman out. I'm just old fashion I guess. I personally have caught 6 bass over 10# and not one has been with ffs . it has taken me 60 years to do so but I feel I earned every one of them now days guys do that in 6 weeks at some lakes.

Or Oprah, The View, or Ellen.

I don’t think it would cost them anything cause people will still buy it. Banning it from fishing in general now that would cost them but it still wouldn’t hurt them. People still buy units and will continue to buy them.

I don’t have it and have no intentions on getting it either

The question was-- why did BASS ban the A-rig.
Not -- "Banning it from fishing in general" If BASS bans FFS they could very possibly lose some major sponsorship money from one or all of the FFS companies.

IMO they shouldn't ban anything -- but limit the number of screens and transducers allowed on a boat.

Let’s get rid of those dang polarized sunglasses too, especially the rx ones.
