Ya I thought the same thing… Megabass baits to Googan, megabass rods to 13 fishing, Skeeter to Nitro…

I would agree that he has downgraded in terms of quality and prestige, but he is probably getting more money from these other companies. A company like Megabass can run just on their reputation and sell all the lures they can make at a very profitable margin. A company like Googan is just making cheaper knockoffs of established products and depending on all the hype from these guys to sell them. I guarantee that Megabass will still be a big-name brand 5 years from now while Googan and other "viral brands" fall by the wayside.

ya I agree. The money must’ve been the main factor. I mean even Aaron Martens left megabass to join with Enigma. But Megabass definitely has the prestige and quality which makes them the company most measure up against.

That did it, just threw all my Carhartt's in the trash!

That is a good one - made me laugh!

Reese going to KastKing sounds like a good gig. W&M sure cut back on most of his signature series stuff so thought a change was coming.

Didn’t Zaldain finish top 10 in AOY this year fishing with Googan and 13 Fishing gear?

Aaron left Megabass rods to help out a friend, Jessie Tacorante. The whole industry was miffed by that one when announced but it was later disclosed that Aaron and Jessie were close friends and Aaron helped him out. What I don't know is if Aaron left Megabass or Megabass left Aaron on lures and Aaron was with Duo Realis.

Just in on CNN; Carhartt signs John Fetterman to 6yr deal. Eat that Aftco.

There was a little bit more to it than that. Aaron didn't leave on bad terms and was still loved and respected by MB.

Nothing to see there. Just hoodies, sweats, and t-shirts.

From the sponsor”What have you done for me lately? Around here JL’s name is seldom mentioned. It’s not about what you’ve done but what you’re gonna do. I don’t see JL competing with the caliber of new talent on the horizon.
