ABA Weekend Bass Series 2014 - Better, same or worse?

http://www.americanbassanglers.com/BWS/newsdetails.php?news_id=1043

what do you guys think? - I'm kinda curious what this means exactly...
"...As a special championship bonus the boater champion will also receive sponsorship and entry fees into one of two professional bass tournament circuits..."

what is "professional" ? FLW and BASS?

Will win a sponsorship and free entries to either fish BASS Opens or Flw Everstarts as a boater.

I took it as Elites or FLW Majors

Reason i think that is bc it is says within Striking distance of World Championship of there choice. I guess it could be either one. Still not bad. Would rather Classic but still not a bad payout.

Just kinda killed my dreams of fishing a classic through the weekend series!

I guess the special prize is the sponsorship. For loosing their big affiliation with BASS they are still putting on a nice trail. I like the no entry classic. My job won't let me fish all of them but I would if I had the time.

I agree, with the split from BASS they definatly stepped up and are giving an opportunity for advancement for the winner.

Paid entries into your choice of trail would be a really nice bonus to the 100K win

Change the lakes!

plz don't change the lakes. I like it. I will be fishing these.

I understand I like them to but man change it up a little

I fish other circuits for change.

Why change it up? You fish the lakes enough and you will learn them and should be able to compete every year. Now I wouldn't mind them adding Lewisville.

Exactly, also adding that most majors go thru Rayburn, and Toledo. So if you have that "dream", why not fish those lakes. Again plenty of other trails for other bodies of water.
