Cody Bird, Tracy Adams, Dan Morhead not on FLW tour roster?

Have these guys switched to the bassmaster opens or not invited back? Don't really understand the reasoning of them letting in the elite series guys who didn't re-qualify but turning away long time flw tour guys???

Maybe it wasn’t so much FLW turning them away but them deciding not to fish? Or the team deals weren’t offered? With a field of over 180 boats there’s no shortage of availability.

Cody Bird has opted not for fish the tour in 2018, he’s sat a year or two out in the past. Not sure of the others.

Not so sure about that. A friend of mine called to pay his deposits, and was told the field wasn't full yet. A day or two later, he got an email saying he was on the waiting list.

Well we have an answer on Cody Bird and having faith in the number of excellent sources and the skill of the BBC Investigative Reporting Staff have we'll have the facts very soon on why Tracy and Don are not on the roster........

However GM482V's Friend's situation is sort of puzzling perhaps a book keeping delay or someone not having the correct information when he called in?....Hope it turns out for him and he has a good year and future years in the FLW

Thats what was inferred, more that a few guys were turned away and now on a waiting list, I was surprised to hear that.
