EWREX Posted January 1, 2022 Posted January 1, 2022 according to an instagram post by him, looks like he’s moving on from megabass as his title sponsor. rumor going around he’s joining up with a brand of two numbers. he also posted a couple stories with what looks like a googan baits krackin craw in hand (he is good buddies with rob terkla so that makes sense). 1 Quote
Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted January 2, 2022 Global Moderator Posted January 2, 2022 I saw that post but only read the first couple words speaking highly of megabass and thought nothing of it. Guess I should have clicked “read more” haha 1 Quote

lunkerboss923 Posted January 2, 2022 Posted January 2, 2022 dang, just as I started getting interested in Megabass because of him. Googan makes good soft plastics, they don't last for multiple catches, but they work. Quote
Trox Posted January 2, 2022 Posted January 2, 2022 Rumor has it that he is being picked up by 13 Fishing Quote

Que the exploding heads. i’m sure there will be some backlash, but when a very likable and arguably the current best angler on the planet (jacob wheeler) is endorsed and uses their baits, you can’t really say much.

Super User DitchPanda Posted January 2, 2022 Super User Posted January 2, 2022 If this is true I wonder how long googan will sponsor him when they see the only bait he throws every tournament is a megabass magdraft. 3 Quote

Dxdger30 Posted January 4, 2022 Posted January 4, 2022 I know it’s not official but you would be correct. He posted in the Googan Facebook group. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted January 4, 2022 Global Moderator Posted January 4, 2022 I guess I don't understand how it matters. Only difference is now he'll have to catch his fish on "an unnamed jerkbait" or "an unnamed swimbait". I've seen guys on swimbait pages freaking out and I guess I just don't get it. He can still fish the baits he wants just like I'll still fish the baits I want. 1 Quote

I figured a pretty big face in the pro game switching up their title sponsor would be juicy discussion. not sure why there are so many disgruntled folks here lol 1 Quote
Skunkmaster-k Posted January 4, 2022 Posted January 4, 2022 I like watching Chris Zaldain. His mustache is almost as good as Sam Elliot’s. When he got on the hot spoon bite and lost a few good ones and ran out of time, that was intense. I’ll keep watching him no matter who his sponsors are. 4 Quote

He's getting his own signature rod line which is supposed to be released at this year's iCast.

There should no drama in fishing, especially if you do one specific thing while standing upright. Some of those guys, as well as some of the Insta guys, are really sensitive and petty though. I enjoy seeing Wayne at SU occasionally shutting them up when they go off the rails. A bunch of Tatted and bearded meangirls pretending to be tough guys. Quote
FishinBuck07 Posted January 9, 2022 Posted January 9, 2022 I don't see the big deal, Zaldain is nothing special as far as I am concerned. I wouldn't buy Googan before him going there, and I still won't buy them after. The guys that were already with Googan are better fisherman than Zaldain anyways. I mean Wheeler is on the Googan team and he has won more than Zaldain will ever dream of. 3 Quote
Finessegenics Posted January 10, 2022 Posted January 10, 2022 I stopped myself from commenting on this thread when I first saw it, but I don’t understand why some people are getting so worked up about this (no one on here). From some of the comments left on zaldain’s Instagram post announcing that he left megabass, you’d have thought he committed high treason. I like certain pros regardless of their affiliations with certain brands. 6 Quote
Odiehammer Posted January 17, 2022 Posted January 17, 2022 dude it’s gnarly. again though it’s super iconic seeing that he’s been with them almost his whole career. to me it’s like KVD and quantum.. Quote
