    A possible compromise for BASS and FFS?

    How about if they allowed it for the entire practice time, but prohibited its use during competition? Or allow it the last 4 hours of Championship Sunday to add a bit of drama for the viewers? I think that would be interesting! Thoughts?

    Well, it is the most impactful change to professional bass fishing to come along in our lifetimes, so yeah. There will be another and another. But thanks for your "astute" observation.

    Asked and answered... there are 3 professional leagues with 3 different sets of FFS rules. Just watch the one you like. Variety is the spice of life.

    I don’t care to watch guys use it but I don’t watch the tourneys much…. I think it’s gotta be either have it 100% or ban it…. I think the restriction of use or designated times to use it is dumb… If you’re recognizing it as a problem, ban it…. Otherwise, let them use it…


    ill say this…. If there was no FFS, i think this place would get quiet… it’s a daily topic for sure!! My stepdad and his brother talk about it and they’re both just weekend fishermen and neither one of them have or use any kind of fish finder at all!! (My stepdad does have a little $99 hummingbird piranha but he truly only uses it to read water temp and depth, nothing else)

    If it gets banned & goes quiet on here, then we can get back to debating the truely important things in life, like the price of cream cheese or how you need a 1 ton dually to tow a small boat & Yamaha engines are the best just because they can be flashed !

    Or what to do when someone is blocking your driveway. I’m not sure we’ve settled that one yet.

    Ive thought about and maybe mentioned the practice time before. Mostly considering BASS I would like it to be allowed but only one graph up front limiting it's size.

    Yes, or totally ban it.
