Let me see....one can pull a fully rigged 20 footer with a 250 but not an aluminum with a 70 on it? Unless you are on the Eite Series Rules committee (Not all 100 anglers) then I doubt that you or I or anyone else know the reason why. And for that matter, it doesn't matter, we don't fish 'em. I would suggest that if anyone feels that strongly against the rules (that it adversly affects the integrity of the sport) then let those sponsors of the rules committee fishermen and BASS know. I AM NOT SAYING THAT THE SPONSORS HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS NOR AM I SAYING THAT THEY DIDN'T.
