BASS countered the MLF trail by reducing entry fees for returning pros, but a lot still left to go to MLF. FLW says they are sticking with their business model. Brandon plans to stay there for now, but may fish more of the BASS opens to qualify for the Elites.
One interesting thing just to note, Brandon is in China fishing the China BASS nation event. 35 Chinese teams fishing, Brandon from FLW and Randall Tharpe from BASS and Brandon was in 2nd yesterday. One of his primary sponsors ARK rods is in China and took him over to develop a signature series rod and fish this tournament as a guest. Him and Randall are fishing by themselves against the teams.
