Not all exposure is good. A great example of bad exposure is 2004 Super Bowl half time performance which included a 9/16-second exposure of one Janet Jackson’s mannary glands. It was a brief exposure, but Jackson’s right breast became the talk of everyone including the FCC. ProPatterns Exposed Pros on Tour video series shows a lot less skin, but does expose Bassmaster Elite Pros like never before as they prefish during official practice days before a Bassmaster Elite Series tournament. All of the videos in the series are non-scripted. No faking a bad day prefishing; no hiding emotions back; no taking out how these professional anglers approach prefishing. Good or bad; you get to see it all.

ProPatterns Exposed Pros on Tour is a series of videos available on a pay-per-view show or the complete video series can be seen at ProPatterns web site for free with an Elite Membership. ProPatterns Exposed Pros on Tour premiers January 4, 2012, and runs weekly through February 22, 2012. In all there are 22 videos in the series featuring 21 Bassmaster Elite Series Professional anglers. “It’s really something that has never been done before; not only did we need the permission from B.A.S.S., by the anglers themselves to “Expose” their prefishing techniques. Like Gerald Swindle explained, it can really be a grind out prefishing for 10 and 12 hours on different impounds,” said President of ProPatterns Chad Ekroth. Ekroth excitement over Exposed Pros on Tour video series is understandable. There’s nothing else like it out there. Sure there are videos, YouTube videos, and TV shows of anglers fishing in bass tournaments, but they don’t take you behind what a Bassmaster Elite Series angler really does on an official prefishing day. “I like to think of it as a reality show, non-scripted, where you can see what really goes on and what the Bassmaster Elite Professional angler is thinking,” said Ekroth.

Is a professional bass angler exposing themselves a good thing? In this situation it is. Just think. You will finally get to see what it’s like when Bassmaster Elite Anglers prefish. You get to learn how to prefish and use it when you go prefishing. Hosts for the ProPatterns Pro on Tour video shows are Bassmaster Elite Professional angler Tim Horton and Sondra Rankin.
