I have a Stearns inflatable which needs to be worn at all times and I have a Mustang inflatable which does not. Both are automatic. I do not begin to comprehend why, other than one cost $100 and the other $200, but you must carefully check the rating on the vest. The Sterrns states on the underside that it must be worn at all times. Please wear a vest at all times when under way, whether in a tournament or not and utilize the kill switch. Keep it safe

I have fished both at the amature level, ie BFL and Bass Federation and BFL is now the best without a doubt. And part of the reason that I exude that is, as a proud American and veteran I cannot support an organization, (BASS) that is even partly sponsered by an Anti-American company. Namely CITCO which is owned by the Dictator of Venezuela, President Chavez. I dropped out of the largest Federated Nation Club in the world for that very reason. I refuse to belong to BASS until they divorce themself from CITCO, but then it is all about their money isn't it. I'll walk 10 miles to another gas station before I give them even 1 American dollar.

I am looking for a co-angler for the Ranger Owners Group tournaments on both Kerr Lake in North Carolina on 4/13&14 and Table Rock in Missouri on 5/11&12. I have a 2006 Z-20. Entry fee is $200.00 per team. Payback is through 100th place. Details can be found on the Ranger website. My original non boater is unable to participate due to medical reasons. I am located in Winter Haven Florida and you can contact me at RonFalz@verizon.net.
