If you were a pro bass angler, which would you rather be?

An FLW tour pro or Bassmaster Elite Series pro? I’m getting more and more into FLW.

FLW hands down(in my opinion) but they all do pretty much the same thing bro
I like the FLW better…for their TV shows they do not just focus on a few of their “Big Dogs” and or in BASS’s case, Big Whinners…it does not matter who you are in FLW, if you can fish you will get TV time…but like with BASS, Ike is sucking butt, and they still show him…I am glad my club is part of FLW and the Federation split from BASS…FLW give the average Angler just as much chance as the Pros…plus FLW’s magazine is better, it is not just on big advertisment like Bassmaster’s is…
I’ve been a fan of BASS since I was old enough to hold a rod, but I’ve been becoming more and more interested in FLW.
Gotta agree with everyone. B.A.S.S. has become too much of a “drama”.
People like Ike ,(who isn’t a bad fisherman; just a “showboat”), have turned the federation & Tourneys into a “circus”.
If I had to go on a “trail” FLW would probably be the best of the two.
Been the BASS route, If I could afford it now and was not so old I would go FLW for sure, only problem is I would have to buy a different rig.
BASS has rewards for Triton owners
FLW the rewards are for Ranger owners.
Who gives a sh!t which rig you own, its how you are able to fish that counts.
True you can use any rig you like on either tour, BUT the bonus money is with either Triton or Ranger.
Oh and with FLW if ya want on TV better be in a Ranger LMAO
Dan might want to check and see if there is a FOM in your area.

I have a buddy who has fished both circuits and done quite well for himself. A few years ago he made the switch to fish FLW exclusively, and he hasn’t been one bit sorry he did. Some of it was for reasons mentioned (he wasn’t KVD or Ike, although has credentials that rival both). Some of his reasons were more personal and related to the direction BASS was going that made it less ‘family-friendly’. He told me he wouldn’t want his kids watching BASS on TV.
From what I see, the money is pretty good over at FLW, they treat their anglers better, and don’t play favorites when it comes to TV time.
