Lowdown On The Lockdown
Major League Fishing (MLF) has unveiled a new lock box, designed and manufactured by Precision Sonar, that will support new rules limiting anglers to the use of two forward-facing or 360-degree sonar transducers during competition. The innovative, simple-to-use device will be provided free to all anglers who need to lock out excess transducers during competition. The lock box provides an effective solution to temporarily disable and secure excess transducers on tournament boats, thus maintaining a fair and level playing field under new MLF rules that allow anglers to utilize the fish-catching power of forward-facing and 360-degree sonar while also preserving the traditional fishing techniques enjoyed by millions of anglers and fans. Anglers with more than two forward-facing or 360-degree sonar transducers on their boats will be required to:
Disclose their setup and need for the device to the tournament director at or immediately following the pre-tournament meeting.
Obtain a lock box from MLF staff prior to the tournament at the Precision Sonar Lock Station and install the device prior to boat launch – a quick and straightforward process that ensures excess transducers are disconnected and cable plugs are securely capped with the high-visibility lock box provided.
Make a quick stop by the Precision Sonar Lock Station at the end of the competition day to have the device unlocked by MLF staff.

Built with a unique back-angled lip that’s designed to divert water resistance, the OSP Picro 68 I-Motion Bait is an innovative hard bait that imparts rolling action, flashing, and strong color change to trigger a feeding response from bass. On a simple retrieve, the Picro wanders through the water column like a careless baitfish, with a moderate retrieve it can be used as a search bait to check a wide range, or you can twitch it erratically to create rolling action.
Equipped with razor-sharp size#10 treble hooks, the rear fins prevent the hooks from snagging the body, and the exquisite wire diameter is built to handle large bass but not be overly thick for rapid hook penetration. Finished with a special fibrous tail that flutters naturally like the tail of a baitfish, the OSP Picro 68 I-Motion Bait delivers dazzling rolling action that drives curious bass mad in high-pressure fishing situations. Check them out here.
