Pro Bass Tournament Questions! - 09/27/22 07:35 PM
I've been wondering lately...
1. Are there "many" pro bass tournaments, those so big that they make it to television, or is there really just 1 or 2?
2. The pros use spinning reels and baitcasters, so here is the crazy question. Is/are there any pros that actually use a high quality/speed "spincast" reels?
3. BIG QUESTION!!! Why do some tournaments have some fishermen catch bass, tag them and drop them in the boat well, and others they weigh and release???
4. Is there "cheating" in bass tournaments? If the answer is "yes," and there is a judge and cameraman on each boat, how the heck is there cheating?
5. I know there are multiple rod/reel combos on each boat, but what type line do the majority use? Do any of them use monofilament, or is it all fluoro?
6. Do pros used "colored" line?
7. Do pro anglers have other jobs?
8. Do we have any big-time Pro Anglers in the Texas Fishing Forum? I really don't know.
9. I'll have to think about it before I come up with questions 9 and 10!
Addendum: What is the proper spelling, "baitcaster" or "bait caster"?
