[QUOTE="TN Larry, post: 3230229, member: 2019"] Couldn't have said it better myself. I think that he is over reacting but does make some valid points as well. The rig and the presentation are key, however, WHERE is a big factor as said above. I can go throw it in my pond stocked with minnows only, throw the right rig with the right presenation and still not get bit. I have done this btw just doing some testing after tinkering to see the results. I didn't catch one though, and had it right. :) In terms of electronics, one tournament that comes to mind is I think that it was the KY Lake FLW tour tournament last year where most of the fish were caught on ledges. People used to have to rely on looking at maps, depth finders, etc to find the ledges and then fish them to find out what was there, etc, etc. (Yes, many I mean most got help from locals but theoretically speaking). Then GPS units came along which made finding the ledges easier, but you still had to fish them to find the sweet spot, etc, etc. Well, last year in this tournament, many pros that did well spent their entire practice hardly wetting a line. They went around with the Scan units marking schools of fish, noting the size, etc. They would then pull up during the tournament and scan to relocate the schools and fish or not fish based on what they were seeing on the screens. I don't really care either way on either subject, but it seems like this tournament was swayed more by the guys that were technology advanced with their units than doing the actual work to find the fish and catch them. They still had to catch them, but if you know how to read your unit good enough to identify the fish and know what they are doing, it is game on with a school of feeding ledge fish. [/QUOTE]
