They changed it

I was about to make that same comment until I scrolled down and saw this one. He was throwing a senko, which is definitely not a floating worm lol. Looked like he was throwing a texas rigged senko with a 3/8oz bullet weight, just a standard texas rig. Definitely wasn't weightless. I throw a t-rigged senko with a 3/8oz weight enough, I should know. :P

There's some info on that in here. www.flwfishing.com/news/2016-02-08-top-10-baits-from-lake-okeechobee

Highly doubt they are using anything under MH at Okeechobee. 7ft + rods, either MH or H, at least 65lb braid more than likely.

I can tell you exactly what we use..I personally use a 7'6 MH fast with 80lb Vursa Braid 1oz tungsten and a candy grass colored D-Bomb from missile baits..

Ultra light, light, heavy, medium heavy, etc. all refer to the weight of the lures intended to be thrown on the rod. These guys, while fishing on Okeechobee, are definitely on the heavy end of the spectrum. Literally none of them will be using light or ultra light rigs. They're using extra heavy, heavy and medium heavy rigs for sure.

Good thing for sponsors eh..... lol

I never said anything about how or who they sponsor.... lol.

Stoty ya I know ... just trying to have serious tournament anglers wake up ... pro tournaments need participants ,we dont need them . pay up

Ok then..... take care.

Say what?

+chums101 you dont understand english ?.......

+Dan G a lot of those guys worked their way up the ranks and have sponsors to help some, and several have their own businesses they started so they have the money and freedom to do this. Yeah some have had strings of bad luck or not been able to last more than a few seasons but I don't agree with your comment that many people ruined their lives "fianacialy".

+chums101 Im not talking about freedom and money plenty of people have that . Im speaking about actually paying your contestants enough to actually make a living. When you can make a top fifteen and not even make your money back there's a problem . Tackle,gas,lodging ,entrie fees and food all add up which is no big deal just pay your contestants well and stop dropping the payouts

new guys boring! just another way flw can stop the progression of the sport by making it more boring
