Re: Berkley's "Pay For Performance" Program...
Back in my BMX days I remember the pros use to race for contingencies. Where the sponsors would kick in extra cash, should they finish in the top 3 (I think???? it was top 3) I have thought this would be good for bass fishing too.

Is it Possible???????
to win a tournament at Clearlake without throwing a swimbait.
It seems to me that most of the tournaments that I participate in, the winners are throwing swimbaits.
Any thoughts.
