I came across this photo on FB. It says a lot. These kids are the future. Look at the Googan hat. If you don’t know Googan, then you’re out of touch. I don’t mean that to be an insult but the kids do and Googan and the other YouTubers are garnering the momentum in the bass industry today. Now, the dad who took their picture still spends the dollars but if the son wants Googan or the latest that Scott Martin or Lake Fork Guy says, well dad’s money will follow. Just Sayin’

There is hope. If he really wants to teach them he will make them earn their way also (maybe he does). Valuable lessons in earning you own way, no entitlements, and saving to purchase your own equipment even as a youth.

As a parent, I’d want to raise my child with strong core values; including the principle of return on investment The baits you mentioned are fine; but there are others that are better quality at lower prices

Meh.
I don't like or dislike those guys, but I think every one of us could go back and look at old pictures to see the brands we wore as kids. How many of those are still around? Not many.
I do like their turds with the rattle. I wish they'd float like Z-man's.

I wonder how many times they had to push a lawn mower to afford that gear?

I don't know them so I won't say if their entitled or not. Good to see kids getting into the sport and being passionate about something other than an Ipad and social media. I always tell my kids, 9 and 7, Nothing earned is nothing gained.
As for Googan, I have some, but I buy whats on sale...lol

As per usual, mention something in a positive light on the forum and get flooded with jaded, farty old man opinions looking to take a dump on anything new

Just because they didn't grow up on paper graphs and creme worms?....that doesn't make them any less of a fisherman.

Brutaldudeski is right from an old man that does fart a lot. I have seen the new baits for sale but don't need any yet.

Use whatever you have the most confidence in. Those "new" baits are all the kids have seen and that's what they've seen the youtubers using. Gives them confidence they have the right baits to catch fish. Nothing wrong with that.
