I personally have never fished with electronics besides navionics lake map. Now we obviously have ffs and I’ve fished next to my friend who was using it and it’s cool, no question. But just like golf/baseball etc has limits on technology do you think there should be limitations on technology for tournaments or even just in general?

No.  I would love to have a drone that could cover areas after first light and find me some surfacing fish but it seems right now that would be very pricey.

Regarding repetitive topics. Sometimes there are new answers to old questions.  Everything changes. Nothing is static. I'm always open to new ideas.......

Rumors are they will limit the number of inches screen wise for insurance purposes and maybe limit transducers to 2 . 
 

Personally I don’t care what they do, I’m watching bassmaster either way. I don’t think it makes any difference. I think young guys are good because they came up fishing tournaments in high school and college, that didn’t exist a generation ago

I would prefer it if they did limit the use of electronics.  Make it more about their skill than their gear.  But I also understand that would restrict the sponsorships and thus money involved, and it's a business.  Like most businesses these days, profit is the top concern. 

 

I'd liken it to baseball, where the amateurs can use lightweight aluminum or composite bats, but the pros are limited to heavy wooden ones.  To me, the professionals shouldn't need training wheels, like forward facing sonar.  They should have to do things the hard way.  That would make the sport more compelling.  Less profitable perhaps.  But we'd be forced to believe they're actually better than the rest of us, and not just better equipped. 

 

I say, limit them to a GPS map and a flasher.  That way they know where they're at, but don't know much else.  Let them prefish with all the fancy electronics to get to know the lake, but for the actual tournament, have them rely on their experience and intuition.
