Hm, that's some big news!
They're probably worried about their image. Don't want to be perceived as hillbillies with rigs full of hooks.
This should create some lively debate and discussion. I bet there's a bunch of Elite guys wishing they didn't just blow 2 grand on Alabarni rigs :)

That's crazy. I wonder if smaller orgs will follow.

I think it has everything to do with sponsors. Like Paul says in that article.

what is really funny though is I can be on the same lake as the pros just fun fishing and doubling their catch while they are in a tournament. I bet it might be annoying to see me 30 yards away catching fish every cast while they are struggling to fill a limit haha.

So how long before someone creates an integrated A-Rig, which would constitute "one lure?" I am thinking of a rig that has 3-5 leadheads/hooks and swimming bodies that are all molded into the rig, making it "one lure"
