It would be suicide to ban FFS...
 would it? I think you underestimate how many see it as cheating, and I'm not just talking about those in the trenches of the industry, I'm talking about the general public. The general public doesn’t fish and if you don’t own ffs then you aren’t educated enough to understand. For sure. ….only the butt hurt think it’s cheating. And for the broke folks, ya missed your chance, I GAVE my AT1 away for free.
Eat. Sleep. Fish.

I don’t fish tournaments but I do fish 30 or so weekends a year, mostly just looking for one big bite. With that said I have always watched the pro tours when I have a chance, I’m not a FFS hater and I do have a couple of them on different boats but I will say watching FFS tournaments are not interesting to me, I’d rather see several different techniques being used rather than everyone throwing a sonar minnow on a fairy wand. Also don’t care who wins or how old they are, I liked the MLF Cups, no idea where they were going and no practice, basically the same type fishing I do.

I think a legends tour would be awesome... Where's all this money going to come from... We've heard people complain that the payouts are the same as they were 20 years ago... I doubt sponsors are just going to throw money at a trail because Jimmy, Roland, Denny, Larry and Moe wanna make a comeback... We've got what we got... Dan

When MLF started those events were great TV, I cannot believe they ditched the Cups for that stupid Teams series. If they want to do a team series on the side fine but don't kill your best product

![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2024/07/full-32777-234472-img_1656.jpeg) ICAST was full of jig/minnow variants, many designed for FFS.

Pro bass fishing is starting to look like crappie fishing, jigheads and little plastics.

... The general public doesn’t fish and if you don’t own ffs then you aren’t educated enough to understand. The general public doesn't know anything about "assault rifles"either but they all have an opinion on them... ... $5 for a bag of plastics or $20 for a crankbait, which one do you think has better margins. I'd bet it's comparable... How many $5 bags of plastic can they turn out in an hour compared to how many $20 crankbaits in an hour... Once the plastic is injected or poured they're bagged and boxed ready for shipping. With the crankbait it's gotta be molded/ carved hand or machine, then painted, have split rings and hook attached, packaged... More labor intensive, and labor cost a lot of money these days... Plus the younger generation is using FFS and replacing that $20 crankbait with a .75 plastic bait... Easier to throw that 1/4oz jig head and minnow than that deep diving crankbait all day also... Dan

Who was the MLF Invitationals angler who said it could be outright banned?
