If anyone actually thinks Skeeter is going down the tubes because they made a few changes in pro staff, that's just goofy. The only way Skeeter would disappear any time soon would be if they sold to a big company who decided retiring the brand would somehow help their own bass boat lines.

What are some of you so angry about? It's surely spilling over into your personal lives.

BPT will be down to 1/3 of the field in a couple of years? Really? Because two guys left?

Take some deep breaths..... push away from the computer. Boyd Duckett isn't going to take your lunch money. It's okay that you disagree on some stuff. He voted for Trump.... It's still going to be okay.

It's just fishing..... more deep breaths. You've got this. Skeeter will be okay too. Another deep breath...... Johnny owns too many brands for Skeeter to hang around hoping to get airtime on his shows. They are smart folks and they can figure a better venue to sink more revenue into like Basschamps. MLF is getting far more air time than any fishing show ever has so I'm not sure the social security comment is relevant. But nevertheless..... Keep on bashing them and we will see what happens. Oh ya..... breathe.

Housewives UNITE!

Im pretty sure that had a lot to do with Skeeters decision. BPT seems to promotes "their" sponsors in the lime light. Where a lot of times in BASS the guys could somewhat push their personal sponsors.

That's exactly what is is. Skeeter made the best business decision for them to see a return of their dollar. What business in the world doesnt do that. I'll be the first to say I cant stand MLF but you can not deny B.D. and Jim Wilburn and the group are smart as all get out business men. They know how to make a dollar.

Airing the same 1-2 hour show 10 times is not needed with DVRs any many/most fans DVR it. Because a show airs 10 times does not equate to 10 times the amount of viewers. Liars figure and figures lie seems to be applicable in this situation.

Skeeter runs a damn good business and their recent sponsorship adjustments make sense and gives a strong indication on what is happening marketing wise in the competitive bass fishing world and social entertainment media

Some people are just miserable. They look for something to hate

On a side note, I noticed Todd Castledine has joined the Scott Martin crew on the BassMaster Opens this year, there is some more change to think about.

Todd is a great angler. I"ll prolly watch some of these episodes now. I never watched Scott much cause he was always doing videos with the Googan kids.

Todd has his own channel too. You should give it a look

Skeeter's a hunk of [censored] anyway.. Hopefully these guys get picked up by Phoenix

LMAO! I'd take a Skeeter over a Phoenix all day, every day. Skeeter is the longest-lived bass boat manufacturer in the country. They haven't earned that distinction by building hunks of junk.

Here's a little history for you.

Skeeters are built 10x better than the Phoenix. Ive run both. I did like Phoenix's cockpit layout, but the boat itself is piece of [censored]! It spent more hours in the shop than it did on the water!
