2026 Progressive Elite season FFS poll
Beginning in 2026, forward-facing live sonar will only be permitted in up to five of the nine regular-season Elite Series events. Which events allow the technology will be determined randomly. That said, if you had the opportunity to choose which events do NOT feature live sonar what would they be? Cast your votes below to see if your opinions jibe with other Bassmaster fans!
LIVE RESULTS
B.A.S.S. will reveal which tournaments will allow FFS during a live show on Sept. 4 at 10 a.m. CT on Bassmaster.com. Hosts Tommy Sanders, Mark Zona and Davy Hite will learn the results in real time alongside fans. Events will be paired according to the schedule, with a coin flip deciding which one allows live sonar and which will not. The St. Lawrence River, the final stop of the season, will receive its own coin flip, meaning as many as five events could end up being non-FFS tournaments.
Keep a close eye on the results below to see which events Bassmaster fans would like to see no live sonar.
