Re: POLL Top reasons why you don't fish tournaments

I honestly don’t think guys are not fishing sole on money reasons. Yes that is a big factor but there are other reasons also. If was a money issue why do the semi pro stuff draw over 100 boats, Yes they are cheaper but the guys are still going up and pre fishing. The other big problem is we all comp...

Re: BMF's and punching

I was showed away how to rig the BMF hook back east. I rig it so the head of the beaver slides past the eye so that the eye works as a peg once you push the weight down on to it. Its kind of hard to explain with out showing it. It works great when punching.
