Being age 10-16 or even 18, we just want free stuff. Its hard for kids to get all the nice stuff like a shimano curado E, those expensive swimbaits, or a G. Loomis rod. we just cant afford it. Then we see u guys with jobs and the few with sponsors, talking about your cool fancy equipment. No offense to guys with fancy equipment. We just want the fancy equipment too. And free stuff ;D.
I'm only 16 and have more important things to worry about right now. If somebody wants to offer me a sponsorship, woo hoo I'm all for it but I'm not gonna go look for one anytime soon.
