Don't forget, this is a pro/ am. Your weight adds to the pros weight and 99% of the pros will do anything to have you add to the livewell. Tackle, rods/ reels etc. Most pros will be ready to have rods rigged for the NB already. Sometimes to much tackle is to much tackle. Have everything ready and let the pro inform you the night before what to bring. Most pros will have a solid prefish done and a gameplan, that can change any minute on the water as they figure patterns out.
