I haven't thrown a A-rig yet but I sure plan on trying when I have the opportunity, but I don't expect it to become the only weapon I will ever need.
As far as the new rule changes passed in BASS I actually found the one that stops an anglers from using a different boat (fiberglass/alum) for different tournaments. I wonder what role the main sponsors had in that one?
Sponsors had nothing to do with the boat rule, it was the anglers. Not everyone has the opportunity to grab an aluminum boat and hit the lake, particularly if you live far away from the tournament site.
