hmmm, some of the pros recommend using braid as backing since its lighter and you get better casting distance.

Andy-IN

All of the best rod blanks are made in China. They are the world leader in carbon fiber manufacturing.

Dave

9:31

Shimano Zodias made in China. You can find those same rods without the name branding.

9:30

If yo look at Ali Express or Alibaba you would be shocked at some of the mainstream stuff that they sell. and it's just not branded as the name brands

Andy-IN

9:30

They count the individual balls in the bearings

9:28

Dave

9:27

Nice! Thanks Brad!

Austin Alabama

9:27

Would Bradley care to elaborate more on the Foreign made reels he uses. I wouldn't mind buying a couple.

Frank- Mich.

9:26

Can you use different boats in the opens or just fish out of the one you started with?

Andy-IN

9:26

Is Matt going to room with Bradley for some of the tournaments?

Dave

9:26

Thanks Matt....Just trying to get the other perspective that BASS is not all "Roses" either.

Stu from AL

9:25

Will Bradley be traveling more than last year

Andy-IN

9:25

BASS should go ahead a tell how they will settle the double qualifiers? They will probably wait to pick the anglers that they see better value.

Dave

Agree Chad there are alot of anglers that are going to make a huge investment for very little tourney payout in the Opens. Hopefully BASS steps up and increases these payouts soon. Funny how BASS made adjustments this past season and we are not bashing them?

9:24

So is Brad willing to share some of his thoughts on the issues BASS has / had?

9:20

Coulda swore that one of the major rubs was that anglers did not have a voice......hmmmm

ChadInCanada

9:19

There are so many tour-level anglers heading to the opens next year, that there will be a lot of disappointed anglers at the end of 2020. Everyone can't go to the Elites...

Josh the painter

9:19

What event does Brad think he will do his best at or most excited about?

Dave

9:13

good luck to you Brad on qualifying for the BASS Elites!

9:12

Feel bad for those affected, but if they were so naive to think that this couldn't happen going in then shame on them. The rumors of this deal had been floating around way early.

Frank- Mich.

9:11

Is there more pressure this year because your trying to qualify for the elite tour?

Stu from AL

9:11

Hydraulic Jack plate

Austin Alabama

9:10

I think Brad made a Good Choice going to BASS

Andy-IN

9:09

Does Bradley rig his own boat?

Scott in VA

9:07

Can we get a few weeks of 4 shows a week in 2020

Andy-IN

9:07

As long as Basszone doesn't become like the FLW website in 2018...

ChadInCanada

9:07

To show how short-sighted the BPT/FLW is with their merger, let's look at the top 12 anglers of their lower leagues that they just burnt by removing The Cup without any compensation. Twelve TOP performers/customers. Ripped off by BPT/FLW for $10000 each ($120000). FLW then turned around and said to them, "Wanna give us $40000+ to fish next year?" That would be a big NO. If they had given them the $120000 (the right thing to do), FLW may have gotten over $500000 back in entry fees for 2020.

BRIAN IN CA

9:07

Glad to see you back Mark. I have a question for Brad is it true guys are loosing big deal because of performance of the fishing or is it the trail they chose to fish.

Andy-IN

9:02

I agree live streaming of the BPT was terrible on the first 3 events or so, but it was great toward the end of the year. I personally like to be entertained watching the shows. I can only take so many how too videos and just want to enjoy. I like BASS live but sometimes they would rather talk in studio than show fishing. Can't we enjoy it all.

Dave

9:02

Would really like to hear what the anglers view as the biggest reasons they left BASS. Semms like everyone now that is hating on MLF and talking about their issues, but nobody is mentioning specifics on why they left BASS in the first place. Gerald and Brandon both skirted the issue.

PA Crankbait

8:57

I agree with Chadlin, BPT needs to get their technology bullet proof.

ChadInCanada

8:57

Mike, I'm glad I wasn't the only one frustrated with BPT's constant freezing and crashing of their live broadcast. They need to smarten up and get on Youtube. They aren't know for good decisions, so I don't hold out much hope...

Trevor K.

8:55

O-H-

Mike

8:53

If you're counting MLB's fans/viewers based on individuals rather than total attendance than fishing viewership/attendance numbers are even worse. I count as 5 anglers having licenses in multiple states, and when I have to refresh my live coverage on BPT 20X in a day I count as 20 viewers LOL

Stu from AL

8:53

What might be a sellable- All the fish catching data derived by the Tours: baits, conditions,anglers etc

Maynard

8:52

Guy's What do you think people want to see ? Instruction, fan favorites, jst people catching fish or why do we watch it at all ? Us Bass Heads are a pretty select group !

ChadInCanada

8:52

Of the live broadcasts of the 3 leagues last year, I felt FLW's was the best coverage. Especially the livewell status graphic. Genius!

Dave

8:52

Makes me laugh at all the haters of MLF . We (the hardcore bass fishing enthusiasts) are not the audience and group they are trying to capture. Weare the minority from a national market perspective. If the sport is going to grow we have to get more of the general public interested. Do they (MLF) have some things I do not like....sure. But t if they get the national audience and numbers engaged it will benefit all odf us!

Stu from AL

8:51

I’d bet BPT & BASS had over 1MM streaming views in 2019

JD - Illinois

Network exposure is good for drawing casual anglers or non-anglers. Which, in theory will draw in more sponsor dollars. For the hard core anglers there are so many options available to watch live or nearly live. The trick is how to effectively leverage these options to draw industry sponsors to those channels.
