What do you think of B.A.S.S.'s new program?

If I could secure a decent sponsor I'd be all about fishing something like this.  I see they are doing something similar in Texas already and it looks pretty cool.

Details are not very clear.  How does a team qualify?

I think the idea is unbelievable!!! Basically B.A.S.S invited some of the best local and statewide bass tournaments to participate all around the United States. Basically you fish these series and take top honors in that series you qualify for the National tournament. Each series gets one team for every 50 boats I believe. I think us guys in West Michigan might get lucky.............. keep checking your local tournament trails websites........

Please don't quote me on this but I believe Randy Van Dam at D&R Sports might be working on something like this for the state of Michigan.  I've heard "rumor" to this effect anyway.

I have a few details but won't get caught up on my notes until I have power back on at home, and my Internet box is replaced. I don't think I have any details you probably haven't already read though anyway.

I just heard that BBT Tournament Trail was asked to be part of this trail.  I haven't been able to confirm that on there web site but the source I heard it from is good.

In theory, I love it!

I expect more circuits to participate yet. I'm getting asked about it so I'll be going through my notes later this week. Hopefully it is explained more on Bassmaster.com and on Michigan B.A.S.S. Nation - www.michiganbass.net? Their Classic Series is a qualifying circuit.
