I’m surprised he ain’t wearing a sixth sense jersey- he didn’t talk about them much on the stage, he did mention others were throwing a c-rig but the way the hogwalla fell it got more bites, I wonder if that was his subtle way of marketing- I’m not buying it’s any better but they way he said it probably sells a lot of plastics. His area code shirt he’s wearing “402” is sold on the 6th sense site with his Milliken fishing logo and his name in the back. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2023/04/full-93588-179973-88581c9c_8151_4fc3_a133_be8d07f50bff.png)

With the amount of sponsorship money with Lowrance, Garmin and Hummingbird FFS isn't going anywhere. It's here to stay like it or not. As far as Milliken goes 1 win in 2 tournaments does define greatness. I really don't know anything about him. Being from Texas I hope he does well. But those talking about greatness need to step back a bit. He's not from Texas. He's from Nebraska I believe. He moved down here a year or two ago. Since then he's absolutely crushed everywhere he's gone. The guy has posted an unbelievable number of giant fish and giant stringers from lakes all across the state of Texas. It's all cast to catch. If you watch his stuff you quickly realize this isn't a normal YouTuber, this guy has it all. 12/10 with FFS, and 10/10 traditional angler. I think the reason so many folks are excited is that he's done exactly what we expected him to do. Steamroll the field in tournaments. I'm sure it's been said on this thread, but as a reminder, this guy had never fished Toledo Bend before! Going there and beating a pile of locals is something special... but again, not surprising if you know which fish he's targeting and how he's doing it. I'm not saying he's invincible. There are some bodies of water on the schedule this year which could prove tough given FFS isn't such a huge factor... The st. Lawrence and Buggs Island for instance. If he does well there, watch out! I've been bored by tournament fishing for years, I'm excited to see what Ben is able to do.

I can’t wait to get my t shirt. Gonna cut the sleeves off and wear it to Ray Roberts. Might even wear my wife’s old wig from when she had breast cancer. Looks like a mullet when I wear my BassChamps hat. I’m gonna stare at my AT all day. Only thing? I won’t have 5 fish. Haha

To be honest i think 6th sense needs him more than he needs them. He will get his exposure from you tube without any sponsors

Ben has almost perfected big bass fishing. He knows how to recognize them on the graph and certainly has figured out how to make them bite. I know it is only 2 events, but 5th and a win, that is a pretty strong start. I think the thing I hear most from the pros about ffs, they are learning even better how fish react to their baits and how to make adjustments. I haven't added ffs yet on my boat, might have to do it soon so I can maybe figure some stuff out.
