"The man of system is apt to be very wise in his own conceit; and is often so enamored with the supposed beauty of his own ideal plan of government that he cannot suffer the smallest deviation from any part of it…He seems to imagine that he can arrange the different members of a great society with as much ease as the hand arranges the different pieces upon a chessboard.” Adam Smith, The Theory of Moral Sentiments

If you listen to several of them that got an invite, they said that they were left with a lot of unanswered questions and they didn't feel comfortable with the sales pitch. I saw a post on fb the other day by Bagley Baits and it specifically mentioned anglers being in a tough spot of having to gamble on whether or not the tour will be all that it is suggested to be. Bagley posted this on drew bentons page and it sounded like they weren't sure either. I would bet a lot of sponsors had some reservations about the whole thing. I think the guys at the end of their careers will make money from the deal and the newer guys will be left holding the bag.
I just read that Bassfan article. Duckett is a big proponent of "festivals" after tourneys it says. Anglers will use their own trucks and boats as a stage, and hype their sponsors. Wow, cannot wait to see one big commercial.... Who's going????
This is My conjecture: It'll be true game changer; like; like; Share* and subscribe if You haven't...
I read the same article. Sounds pretty boring to me. "Weigh-ins and sponsor expos have long been the biggest draws for fans attending professional bass tournaments in person. The new Bass Pro Tour, which will operate under the Major League Fishing format of weighing and immediately releasing each fish that's caught, will eliminate the former entirely, and there might not be a lot of the latter during its debut season." I'd be willing to bet that a lot of the "Post game show" will be in a bass pro shops parking lots...
I read it after seeing you guys talk about it and I agree that it is unclear what they mean. I am pretty sure that they just meant that there won't be the big name sponsors. But then again, maybe they meant that because they couldn't get sponsors lined up, they also won't have the championship.

If Mr. Duckett were to ask, I'm sure Kris Jenner would tell Him that to stay in the spotlight, sometimes You gotta get dirty. Daughter gets tinkled on and becomes a STAR and Her husband becomes a Doubles Partner for Celebrity tennis. Does Mr. Duckett have the gumption?

Considering what B.A.S.S. did was the equivalent of buying the ol' lady a bracelet after hubby get's caught sticking his pen in the company's ink well.
Same pro anglers that said the Classic was the best ever and said a year later the MLF World championship was the best ever. Heck, some of them had 3 reel company sponsors in five years....all the best ever ha
I hope it all works out for the anglers, but it’s hard to say what I would have done had I been invited. I’m a BMP fan and was sort of suprised he went to BPT. There is something about Duckett that gives me an uneasy feeling. Larry
There’s no use being stupid if you’re not willing to show it off.
