Who pays the most to be in the money?

Vegasspider · 03-13-10, 12:46 AM

I am beginning my research of which boat and equipment manufactures pays the most contingency money for tournament fishing. Interesting.

I heard someone over at BBC say it was Nitro's program that paid the most on average but for a pro level involvement it might be another brand.

Maybe Ranger paid too much, they went bankrupt.

(sort of kidding)
I don't know since they all seem to have such different requirements for tournaments.
Skeeter seems to be open to more smaller tournaments: http://www.skeeterboats.com/events/real_money/
It used to require only 30 boats but now it looks like 60 boat min. tourney.

I'm sure you know about Ranger Cup since you have a Ranger.

Last year Stratos pays up to $10k, but not on many events: http://www.stratosboats.com/staticpages/2x.cfm

I don't know about the others. There are very few tournaments around MI that qualify since there are tons of 10-30 boat tournaments but very few big ones.

I've often heard Nitro, but I don't know for sure.

The easiest way for contingency money is to drive a Toyota.

Reason I remembered Nitro is because the guy at BBC said he knows a guy in KY that made $20000 in contingency money last year.
