A couple of questions on the rules:

1)  What constitutes a swimbait?  Does a big hammer or Keitech on a lead head count?  How about a big jointed wake bait like a mikey sr?

2)  On the SUB tourney map it states "MA and GA receive lbs based on the past 4 years of SUB tourney entries".  I think it's missing a number before "lbs" in the statement? 

 

Thanks

For #2 on your list:

They defined the colors (each having an associated additional lbs) based on state record. The SU admins decided that MA and GA are the exception to the rule and their colors (additional granted lbs) were not based on their state records. GA should clearly not be held to George's standard so I agree with that one.

For #1 on your list:

The actual definition of a swimbait is about as clear as mud, but if you spend enough time on this site you can get a feel for what people consider to be swimbaits and what they don't. When I'm fishing in the tourney I tend to only fish baits that are widely accepted as swimbaits and stay away from the money minnows and banjo minnows. If SU decided to define it one day then more power to them but that's not an easy task. Save yourself the headache and keep the questionable lures at home. That's just my opinion.

 

Good luck to everyone in it! I'll see ya next year ;-)

Thanks for the explanations.  I looked at the map again and it makes perfect sense to me now... must have been having a brain fart.
