Instead of having a new tournament trail that restricts innovations and advanced thinking, have one that allows all the innovations and techniques that the haters have worked to ban over the years.
Strolling, A-rigs, Donkey Rigs, Boats being allowed to run the HP which they are rated, Receiving information are all allowed
Keep sportsman ship and boating safety rules, the no live bait rule, no cheating, cannot snag fish and so on, just do not punish those that learn and put in work to succeed
every angler has 3 "go pro" cameras at different angles in their boat

I’d like to add, and have to use the baits that they promote and are actually sponsored by.

Years ago weren’t BASS pros provided a small tackle box with lures they had to use in the tournament? Seems I heard that on a podcast, this could’ve been 50 years ago though.

I think they should have a May tournament on Lake Fork where everyone is required to fish with live perch. I would love to see those weights.

Isnt this the whole argument? Many people feel FFS crosses the line of sportsmanship .. just because your opinion is that does not, doesnt mean their opinion is wrong ... if an elite series angler had to pick one, live bait or live scope to compete, which are they choosing?

I want a tournament trail where only pistol grip rods are available and the only lure you can use is the helicopter lure.

Please tell me where I typed anything about FFS, I just don’t see it. I simply said instead of banning things, allow everything within reason.

Live sonar guided active target lock GPS operated drone bobbers that auto suspend the 1/16th oz plastic minnow over the basses nostrils and I’m in. How many lines out at one time?
