I do not beleive there are sponsor limitations in either series.
Both have their merits Teri. FLW does a good job of working your way up the ladder and having the ability to fish "at the next level" if you choose to do so.
BASS does a good job of promoting anglers too, but IMHO they also do a TON more in conservation and promoting the sport to youth than FLW.
There are other opportunities with other circuits too. I would attend a local fishing show and look for other trails that might fit your needs. ABA, Anglers Choice, BASS Federation Nation, BASS Weekend Series, Central ProAm, Fishers of Men, etc....almost oo many to choose from now!
Goo dluck and if I can help out in anyway, dont hesitate to email or call.
