If you are unable to attend the anglers meeting, you must notify me by January 15th or you will not receive your tournament package to fish the tournament.

As long as one person from the team is at the meeting that will suffice correct? I plan to be there for my team who will arrive the following day.

Yes, but I would prefer for most or all team members to be at the anglers meeting. If you can make it, please come.

RULE CHANGE!

For the line class categories 30lb and 50lb, only Bullbuser braid or monofilament can be used. Anglers will be able to purchase this line at the anglers meeting. Topshots are not permitted. The leader/rig is not considered a topshot. The spool of the reel must be completely filled with either 30lb or 50lb Bullbuster line.

If you have a sponsor providing your team with line, you are permitted to use their line in order to honor your agreement with that company. Teams will have to provide proof of sponsorship and will have to bring their sponsor product to the anglers meeting for verification and sampling.

We made this change due to the complexity of regulating every potential braid and monofilament made. It's impossible to accurately measure/verify all manufactured braids with either a scale or micrometer. All braids have different diameters and breaking strengths. 30lb braid may break at over 40lbs. Measuring braid with a micrometer is very difficult. Braid is not solid like monofilament and because of this the micrometer compresses the braid.

Bullbuster is giving a discount to Blacktip Challenge anglers. Here is their pricing for braid and monofilament:

300 yards of 30lb braid
$21.99 = Brand Direct
$15.99 = Tournament

1200 yards of 30lb braid
$79.99 = Brand Direct
$60.00 Tournament

300 yards of 50lb braid
$27.99 = Brand Direct
$21.99 = Tournament

1200 yards of 50lb braid
$115.00 = Brand Direct
$95.00 = Tournament

1lb spools of 30lb & 50lb monofilament
$21.99 = Brand Direct
$15.99 = Tournament
