I wouldn’t fish the BFLs unless your looking for recognition or wanting to take your fishing to the next level. You stand to make money in your buddy tournaments your lucky to break even in the BFLs. It's not worth buying a Ranger just to fish the BFLs you get a little extra pocket change if you do good in them. If your going to fish a Sten or higher I would recommend buying a Ranger, but if not all contingencies are, is smoke and mirrors in the puppy dog leagues...
