Federation Leaving BASS Just In!!

[Danny]

One thing that stands out to me is that this makes total sense. IF, and that is a big IF, I remember correctly, Ranger really supports the KBF, and many state federations. It just seems to make sense to dance with who brung ya.

Us Triton guys won't be frozen out either, I don't think. One thing I've seen from the BFLs, Ranger guys get first dibbs maybe, but they really don't seem to be unfair to the other boat brand owners.

Danny, every year the KBF board votes on a boat sponsor. Yes, Ranger has been very good to the KBF and has always brought the best offer to the table. So, here again with Ranger,FLW being together, it just makes good sense to go there way.
MY disclaimer: nothing wrong with any other brand of boat---bottomline, Ranger arguably gave the best offer every year I was on the board. The other companies offers just didn't suit our needs as a whole KBF organization. Mike McDonald(Ranger Rep) has always made a presence at just about every tournament I can remember the KBF having over the last 8 years that I have been a member. If he didn't personally show up--he had somebody that did. That says alot for him and Ranger. There are alot of tournaments he could be at, but makes time for the KBF when we have a tournament.
