jderry Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 I went to order my tournament pro and noticed the BB1 Pro is the same price. Anyone have used both? Input? This will be a 7.1:1 ratio used for general purpose Jigs, frogs, topwaters Quote
Super User HoosierHawgs Posted January 19, 2015 Super User Posted January 19, 2015 BB1 Pro is centrifugal breaking... Tournament Pro is dual breaking.. Depends on what you prefer. Quote
Super User Tywithay Posted January 19, 2015 Super User Posted January 19, 2015 The BB1 Pro has a higher line capacity. The BB1 also has a 95mm handle for added leverage. It's geared a little more towards power techniques than the Tournament Pro. The Tournament Pro will throw lighter baits more efficiently. For the techniques you cited, I'd probably go with the BB1 Pro. 1 Quote
Super User Shane J Posted January 19, 2015 Super User Posted January 19, 2015 Exactly what Tywithay said. I own both, and agree 100%. I use my BB1Pro for braid, and is my topwater specialist. Quote
jderry Posted January 20, 2015 Author Posted January 20, 2015 Hows the brake adjusting? Fairly simple? Quote
Robert Riley Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 It's just a dial on the side, very straight forward. As they've stated, BB1 is where it's at. Quote
Schuyler co Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Same as jderry, I'm looking at both the Tournament Pro and BB 1 pro at the same price but I'm looking to bounce football jigs off the bottom, mainly 3/8 maybe 1/4. What do you guys think? Thanks! Quote
jderry Posted January 22, 2015 Author Posted January 22, 2015 For that weight it seems the TP would be a better choice. I might wind up getting a TP in the future, we'll see how I like my BB1 Pro. Quote
SDbassin Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 I've never used the bb1 pro, but for me, the tourney pro and super duty are where its at Quote
tbone1993 Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 I use my tournament pro for that application. I use my 5:4 bb1pro for crankbaits, it has a massive spool. Quote
ABW Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 The tourney pro is super sweet for jigs 1/4-3/8 oz. If you're going to be throwing topwaters like frogs then I would get the BB1 Pro. I've thrown frogs on my Tourney Pro and it got the job done, but it could use some more cranking power. Quote
