So, I started in a club I few weeks ago and I hear A LOT of guys say they fish the BLF divisions in the FLW. So, I stared doing some research on it. I really want to learn as much as I possibly can so I can, hopefully, one day fish in the FLW or in the Elite division of the BASS. I'm 26, married, and have 2 boys. Who also likes to fish right now so I'm trying to figure out what I need to do that would be the best route. As it is right now, I don't have the tournament experience or knowledge to drop $5-800 on entry fees and could not justify that to my wife lol.. I still yet to have a boat... But we are working on that. Helps when u have 2 boys asking for one too lol. Luckily, my club is a federation to BASS so that means if I get so many points as a non boater, I can still qualify for state and regional tournaments. I really want to learn from good guys and pros. I have a few guys that said they would help me out after April. But I would like to fish other tournaments to outside my club. I'm just trying to figure out the best route to go.. Obveusly, I need to get on the water as much as I can. But it's also hard to do when u have to depend on others in order to get on the water... It's frustrating when u want something really bad and u can't get it yet. Lol.

HAHAHAHA!!!!! agree! lol!!!! hahahaha!

Thank ya sir! Have to get the pool uncovered again to test them out so I can see what's going on.

Lol!!! Yes sir, been married for 7 years this Sunday. Have 2 boys and the crazy women is already talking about putting another one on the ground when our house is done... But I told her that we have 2 kids already and I'm getting a boat before we have another! Lol priorites lol

AWSOME! Thanks AJ!

I have some Smithwick jerkbaits and i want to add a little weight to them to make them suspend like i want them. I watched a vlog on YouTube about adding split rings to them. I have never done that before. i was a buy it and use it type guy until i used my friends in ground pool to see how different baits respond. Like i said, i have never added split rings or changed the hooks on any my lures. What are is the size split rings i need to make a 5/8 jerkbait work more "natural"? Thanks

I am a whopping age of 28 years old Lol...So, i can afford a 70k boat lol... right now anyway. i had a guy tell me a few years ago that its best to start with a used boat that you can afford and then as time goes on, you can always sell it/trade it in for a new or newer one... i wish i could afford brand new, but right now, i cant. What i would spend on a new boat would be over half of what it is costing me to build my house... I dont want a used but i want something that can get me on the water...

I didn't know until earlier but, i can finance a new(er)/used boat from my local Ranger dealer.. think i am going to go that route. I REALLY want a ranger but i wont pay/owe the amount they want for a new. They have a 2012 Z520c for 41k with low hours. he said they get them like that all the time and i could get one like that with the lower payment. yea, i don't get the lifetime warranty like the first owner would get but, i bet it will do what i want it to do, for the time i own it..

yea. its crazy! That is why i am looking into the Nitro's lol... there is no way i could afford an 80k boat! thats nuts! I could get a 70k boat but it would be a garage ornament because i would only be able to pay the payments on it and my house... i would never have the $ to use it lol

^^^ second that!! I though I would be cool and brake my Revo SX down and clean it and greese it.... After I was done I had some extra parts that I didn't start with... Took it to my dealer to have it out back together correctly. Learned a valuable lesson that day lol...

Pay on it... Stupid auto correct

Yea man! It's crazy!! When he told me starting price was 75k I about choked on my spit!! Lol it's ridiculous!! For the same size boat and dress up, I can save 30k+ just having a Nitro! It's nuts. Hope to hear good things about them... I know I will have it forever but like I said, I don't want to lay on it forever and never be able to afford payments, insurance, then gas to take it out... The payments would murder me for a 70k boat!!! Sometimes I wish I was a blue collar boy that made white collar money lol... BUUUUT... I don't lol

So, at the moment, i am building a house. After my house is done, I am going to be purchasing a new/used bass boat. I heard when Nitro started out, they were the "cheaper" brand boat. It seems like since the Z series boats came out, they look and seem to be better boats. Of course i called a Ranger dealer and when i heard the Z520 was around 70k starting out, I asked him the difference in the Nitro Z20/21 boat and the Ranger Z520. The salesmen of course laughed and said, "Well that's the difference in a Volkswagen and a Cadillac". I really do want a Ranger but DON'T/ WON'T pay 70k for a new Ranger. The boat i am going to get is going to be a lifer... but i dont want to spend the rest of my life paying for it too. I am a blue collar guy so i can't afford a 70k boat! So i figured i would ask if anyone knows anything about the new Nitro Z boats and see if anyone would recommend a Nitro? Thanks!
