BASS cans Coanglers
somebody posted earlier that the old pros fished with co anglers if you look back at old tournament standinds there is no list for co anglers if both anglers had their boat at the tournament they flipped a coin to see whos boat they used and they split the day out of the front I know this for a fact my dad fished the first mega bucks and they did it after they got paired each day.

Tournament Non Boater what to bring list
at a minimum bring your own life jacket rain suite and culling system I have never had a boater that would supply any thing other than a life jacket I tell all my non boaters to bring their own that way I don't have to worry about it and at the cost of some of the culling markers I'm not forking over the money on 2 sets Don't get me wrong I Carry 2 life jackets and rain suites and have acquired enough culling markers for 3 or 4 people but its just don't want to have to dig it out.

Anyone building rods this winter?
what do you mean this winter i usually have 2 to 3 going all the time and i wish i would have never asked you about the foam inlay in the grip now almost everyone wants it and don't get any of the natural burl from mud hole unless you are just going to use it for acsent it falls apart real easy put it on a drop shot rod for myself 2 months ago and already had to replace the handle its no wear as tuff as the colored burl MA Wilson

Different types of tournaments?
in the bfl t's you fish 4 one day and one 2 day tournament then the top 40 boaters and non boaters go to a regional then I think the top 6 or top 10 go to the All American. In the BASS weekend series 4 one and one 2 day top 40 boaters and non boaters go to regional dont know how many go to championship then top boater gets a spot in the classic. Both t's are $200 boater $100 non boater this is the entry lever for both tours you go bfl stren then flw series then flw tour. BASS you go BASS weekend series BASS opens then Elite their realy is no way to jump right to the top. Hope this helps clear sum things up. MA Wilson

lipless crankbaits
all the various trap style baits have their purpose and time to be thrown pick a couple of dif brands and purchase them in colors that are close then when your fishing and catching you can change up and will def find that 1 bait will out fish the others in almost the exact same color point in-tale fished a tournament and my partner threw an x-calibre in chrome black I threw every other trap style bait I owned in the same color he out fished me 8 to 1 and of course we didn't have another 1 in the boat MA Wilson

partner tourneys ?????
I fish team tourny all the time with dif partners and we all have an agreement we split all expenses entry gas oil ex. if we win anything we split it 50/50 very time. I fished with a guy 2 times that split the pot by who caught the most weight for the team it was in his advantage the fist tournament we split 70/30 he didn't like it the second time i got 100% all the fish were mine that team didn't last long. My old partner and I won a boat in 97 and he did not have one so we talked about selling it and we finally decided that i would keep the new one and give him my old boat it came out about wright money wise and we were both happy. My 2 cents Mike
