Jake, I've been bass fishing since I was a kid. I'm now 32. I subscribe both to Bassin and Bassmaster, Thanks. I would just like to know what the pro's use.

Is there any sites that have info on what rod set ups the pro's use. Here's what I'm looking for!!! How many rods does a pro have in his boat? What type of reel, rod and line for each set up and what he uses it for. "Example" What does he use for cranking?

Why is Merc at the bottom of your list? I thought about a pro staff boat but don't they put a a lot miles on a boat?

That for all the help guys, really. Does anyone have opinions on these questions. What length of boat should I be looking at? What brand of motor? If I go used, what is a lot of hours for a motor and what is considered few hours for a motor? What time of year will I find the best deals?

I was thinking about getting my boat in fall too. Thanks for the help.

Looking at getting a new or used bass boat this fall. I will be using the boat in Arkansas on big lakes, small lakes and rivers. I'm planing on doing a lot tournament fishing with the boat. Here are some questions I have. What length of boat should I be looking at? What brand of motor? If I go used, what is a lot of hours for a motor and what is considered few hours for a motor? What time of year will I find the best deals? I'm leaning more towrads a 19ft or 20ft used Basscat. My budget is around 25,ooo to 30,000. Do you really gain a lot with a 21 ft boat over a 20ft boat besides paying more money. I've Even thought about getting a 19ft. Thanks for all the help.
