Bare Bones Tournament Idea (Opinions Needed)

[Benjo]

I agree, I thought that would make it extremely challenging (along with the fact of only having two baits) - do you think it's a little too extreme? Maybe up it to 4lb test, or even just restrict it to two baits? Most of all does it sound interesting ??

I would make the line rule 12# max mono or fluro only. And I would only go 6hrs. Other than that it sounds like it would be a fun tourney. where would you have it at?

[bigbasscatcher]

on second thought, 6 or 8# would be more challanging

[Benjo]

I agree, the 2# line might be a bit extreme, but what a challenge that would be! I think your suggestion of using the 6# may be a good idea. Or maybe even 4#? I just want it to be as challenging as possible. You asked where it would be held - I haven't decided yet, but I'm leaning toward either Laurel river lake, Herrington lake, or the oversized pond (Guist creek lake) which actually is a nice lake for largemouth!!

By the way I appreciate your input! Thanks !

Make it 10.

[Benjo]

I've give it some thought and I have to agree with you. With only one rod and reel and two baits, a person would need to at least have half of a fighting chance. 10# was a good suggestion.

ZX thanks for your input.

Id keep it at 4 lb test.

[Benjo]

Thanks for the input folks. I have decided to go with 4 lb test to increase the level of difficulty (if only being allowed to have one rod and reel and 2 baits isn't tough enough). At any rate I appreciate everyone's input. I haven't decided yet, but I may see if I can put something together for this spring and run a small series (maybe 5 tourneys) just to see how it goes. Again thank you for the input
