I applaud the decision for bass to eliminate the A-Rig from the Elite Tournaments even though I bought 25 of them. Also, I recently purchased a Triton aluminum, added power poles and a jackplate. Despite this, I agree with the decision to not allow the switching of boats. Good for BASS and the rule changes they have made. I am respectful of all of your comments. Just wanted you to know where this Bassmaster Elite Angler stands and I am not alone on this. Kriet  to TFF Also I will give you $4k cash (american) for the tin boat and the A-rigs. Just trying to help ya out! LOL

Rules Committee members believe the rig eliminates some of the skill that should be required in tournament competition at the highest level. It doesnt matter how you work it, said one of the anglers. The fish cant help themselves.
The same thing was said about the helicopter lure. Based on this logic I HOPE the hydrowave is next.
But, KVD, uses this COMMUNICATION DEVICE, he probably had the rules committte rewrite this years rules. Since there is no longer any mention of communication devices.

The Elites are exactly that "ELITE". That circuit is by far the cream of the bass fishing crop. There are several different styles of fishing that make up the tour.
They will keep the playing field even.
Some are deep water specialist and others go shallow, some like clear water and some like it stained or muddy.
They can't give one type of fisherman an advantage over the other or the tour would not be as diverse. This is what makes it exciting for fans and sponsors(diversity).
Good job on keeping the integrity in the sport B.A.S.S.

Kriet  Glad to see ya spend some time in here. I haven't fished one but plan to, sounds like a lot of fun. I don't fish tourny's, but I respect B.A.S.S. for the rule since you boys are the "ELITE" and should have to be held to a higher standard/level of skill. Sometimes ya'll make it look too easy. Don't see why much fuse is made about it from most of us, we don't fish in that level. They made it clear their not against it, just don't want to make it to easy. Anyway, you TX boys are still lucky. Ya can fish it in TX, us TN boys are only allowed 3 of the 5 to be loaded on a A-Rig. Anyway, Again welcome Kriet. Hope this aint your only visit here. And Good Luck this season. If ya need a pick me up during the year, just Come on down and me and you can do a little UMF on Ky lake, a sure bet to walk away with a win. Just don't expect that 50K.

Two thumbs down....took out one of the most exciting new approaches as well as the donkey rig. Guys are thinking outside of the box to pull out a win and the rules committee is making it illegal

"It's okay to buy fish from your coanglers, just don't try to buy them with more than one bill at a time."
I'll call it the Wellman rig.
BASS has lost their minds. +1..
