From TBF president Robert Cartlidge: We wanted to touch base with you about the guaranteed pro spots in the FLW Stren Series for your state champions that our partners at FLW have so generously made available. As you know, each state has one (1) guaranteed pro spot in a Stren Series division for their top angler. The dates for the 2007 Stren Series events have just been released and the entry deadlines are fast approaching, so there is NO time to delay! If you wish to take advantage of this spectacular offer, contact your anglers NOW!

Here are the details for the STREN SERIES pro spots:
?   Each state gets one guaranteed spot in the Stren Series of their choice for their top angler.
?   Of course it goes without saying that all anglers must be FLW Outdoors members.
?   Angler must enter and pay deposits in ALL FOUR events in that division to get the spot.
?   Guaranteed entry registration is now open through Nov. 7th.
?   Registration opens for Ranger Boat owners after that, so if your angler does not register before Nov. 7th, they may still get in but will not be guaranteed a spot.
?   We must have a list of names of the anglers who will be calling in to claim these spots. Please send the name of your states angler to TBF (tonya@bassfederation.com) ASAP, so we can get that list of names to FLW Customer service.

FLW Outdoors has also made priority entry available to TBF/FLW members on the co-angler side in the Wal-Mart FLW Tour, Wal-Mart FLW Series and the Stren Series (as well as the BFL's).

?   NOVEMBER 2ND is the priority-entry date for TBF members into the co-angler side of the Wal-Mart FLW Tour (and the pro side if spots are still available).
?   NOVEMBER 30TH is the priority-entry date for TBF members into the co-angler side of the Wal-Mart FLW Series (and the pro side if spots are still available).
?   NOVEMBER 20TH is the priority-entry date for TBF members into the co-angler side of the Stren Series (and the pro side if spots are still available).
Anglers entering all events in a division will be given priority over any single-event entries. Call FLW Outdoors Customer Service to sign up at 270.252.1000.

 
NEW!

Our partners at FLW Outdoors also recognize some TBF/FLW members would like to "get their feet wet" as a co-angler in the professional events but cannot commit to a full schedule. So they have once again gone above and beyond and offered 28 guaranteed co-angler spots in the Wal-Mart FLW Tour and FLW Series events for TBF use. These spots can be used as tournament prizes, awards or rewards by your federation to help promote the TBF/FLW Partnership in Fishing.

Here is how they will work:

?   28 total co-angler spots are available for TBF/FLW members.
?   A maximum of two spots can be used in each of the 14 combined FLW Tour and FLW Series events. Once two spots are filled, that event?s guaranteed spots are closed, and you will have to choose another event.
?   Spots are first come, first serve this year.
?   Get in early if you want a preferred spot.
?   No state may take more than two spots total.
?   Deposits must be paid and angler?s name must be put on registration at time of booking.
?   If you want to claim a spot, send an email to tonya@bassfederation.com and she will manage the list until all 28 spots are full and give further directions about how to contact FLW Outdoors Customer Service to sign up.

There is NO time to delay on these spots as guaranteed registration is Now Open, so if you want one contact us ASAP.
