Thank you...my point was understood by at least one. If "local" tournament directors decide to "ban" a lure, a presentation, a location on a lake that is not regulated by law, it seems a bit questionable, and not based on anything other than ones opinion or personal preference. But it is their right as tournament director, as they put in the time to run the tournament, so they can make whatever rule they wish. The thread had nothing to do with the work ethics or the time put in by tournament directors. Again, just making a general observation about threads that are thrown out there, and who makes what comments on those threads.

As for roughscotts tournaments, I believe we all know to leave the A-rig at the house.

I can honestly say that I know lots of "nonlocals" that have won WITHOUT the A-rig so maybe it's not the bait that day!! On the legality I think it's the tourney club members call (not the director) in CLUB situations. However, if somebody has an open(such as Roughscott) he can have any rule he wants to have as long as it's within the state rules and regulations.

With that being said, the A-rig is here for a fishing tool, like it or not. I really think that there is alot more to fishing it than folks think. Just throw it and you will catch 'em every cast even 5 at a time!! Location.Location. Location. Presentation. Presentation. Presentation.....just like any other lure. I really don't think the bait works that well....so maybe everyone but me should quit throwing it especially in tourneys that I'm fishing in..LOL. So, IF I take you guys money any next year, just think...he might have caught them on a A-rig....or he might not have...
(Oh by the way, the BIG bass like it at Green too!)
