Pros in glass boats?

[kry29]

So what pros will be in the glass boats soon? I see the ads on the BASS site so I'm guessing the boat debacle may still be going on for other tours. Who can we expect to see in one?

I doubt many will announce until their current contract is up

Good point. I was mainly hoping sclark might shed some light. Not that it really matters, just nosey

Whichever ones get a better deal.

Well ofcourse it's about the money.

I think we’d all be better off if no boat company gave boats to pros. I can’t imagine that what boat a pro has really has that much influence.

Except for everytime a pro wins, a particular bait sells out everywhere. Look at how many nitros kvd has sold.

I think as the tournament trails start dictating which brand they can run for a particular tour, and the consolidation of brands there will be less pro deals. As well, it seems like there are too many “pros” that get deals now but complain about their deals. I think deals will start transitioning on how many people can actually associate their name with a boat sell.

Keith Daffron and Ryan Patterson won the first tournament out of a glass Vexus this weekend. Couple jacks of all trades I'd say. The rails (which are actually very functional) you all seem to hate didn't appear to get in the way either! Shocking!!!

My guess is they will be performance based deals, not a cheap or free boat.

Exactly!

So does that mean Keith gets the first "Pro Staff" deal?

Wheeler can't as BPT won't allow Vexus or Caymas boats
Thrifty probably won't, as he would give up $25,000 Ranger bonus if he wins an FLW tour event. But if BPT has indeed purchased FLW, all bets are off for 2020 season.

I wonder if they're going to make Andy Morgan give up his Bullet?

I doubt it. I have never seen anything in the rules prohibiting any brand. Just hearsay
