No BS, and you met me in person last year and I think you know I don’t BS… I can honestly say that of ALL the different brand rods I use, and I use a bunch of different brands, your Signature series Baitcasting rod is my favorite (no pun intended) rod I have EVER used in my almost 40 years bass fishing!!! . From the length, to the backbone, to the action, the the girth at the base which provides more feedback from whatever structure you’re fishing, to date, this is the most perfect rod I have ever used. So much so that since I got it last year, all my other serious setups see little use, simply because I’m pond hopping or fishing my buddy’s lake on his pontoon boat. I usually take 3 rods with me, and the other two will get used, but I never want to put down my B.Lat Sick Stick!!! . And I don’t care what ANYONE says, my setup with the Lew’s Hack Attack (coughKVD) reel is theeee absolute sickest B.Lat Sick Stick on the planet, and that reel will hang with the best, most overpriced Shimano and Daiwa reels, but the Rod is always the star! Wherever you land, I have a few bills in my wallet reserved so I can pick up 2 of your next signature Rods, and may retire this one as a historic piece of fish catching art. instagram.com/p/CpeGchjMmSj/?igsh=MW5sM205YjR2M2dyaQ== instagram.com/p/CrpYoFNMigp/?igsh=OXM1YmJhanhwdm5u Looking forward to what the future holds for you, but I’m certain only good and great things are coming your way.

Wait cane pole ? 🤔🎣🤦‍♂️

Brian is so down to earth

It's more than the fishing.. thank you for your integrity and honesty..

Super cool to see a humble and classy separation on your end. Most will blast the sponsor, heck, many don't even use the sponsored gear. Great stuff, keep that positive and humble approach!

It is good to see a professional angler part ways with a company speaking highly of the company. Great job B.Latt!

Brian you sir are a man of integrity and a class act 👏

B Latt it takes a true honest man to show the gratitude you have shown favorite rods and your subs. Thank you for being honest

You are a very classy person for the way you handle this situation.

Talk about transparency!!! B. Lat you've been A1 from day 1, since I started following you years ago. Thank you for always being open and honest with us, your fans and followers!!!

I appreciate you, man. Have loved your channel since the moment I found it. You remain down to earth and true to your mission, viewers, and most importantly... yourself.

Your good conscience led you to be transparent. You’re a great role model for those of us who want a future in the industry. Thank you for always being honest and genuine. Looking forward to the future

I follow you because of the fact that you are an honest person that you appreciate what others have done for you. Brian you give back daily!!1

I feel like the honesty and way you made this video it will attract new sponsorship opportunities.

Brian i think you are one of the most sincere and humble man i know from fishing. If i had a company in fishing(rods) i would hire you for the job right away. Things gonna work out just fine for you. Greetings from the Netherlands 🙂

I still fish with my favorite pro series rod that you designed. Bought that years ago because of watching your KZread channel. One of my best rods I’ve owned. Excited to see what’s next for you BLat! I’m sure something amazing will be in the works with the next company you partner with.

We do trust you because of the integrity that you have and showing it in this video.

Very refreshing to see humility and appreciation! This will be a testament to your character for your children to share with their children one dayl

Nothing but class man. Whoever picks you up will be very lucky.

Humility and Class! Need more examples like this in every area of life ! Thanks Brian!

What I like about you most. It’s your honesty you have integrity and that goes a long ways. Thank you Brian.

I appreciate the transparency. Super humble bro. You helped grow my love for fishing. Been following for a long time. Happy to see where this is going to take you next.

At the end of the day it’s strictly a business decision and good things come to an end but when one door closes another one opens so be thankful for the support they provided you for a very long time and find your next rod company that will allow you to provide input into the build

B. Lat, you're a gentleman in this industry. Love your content. Love all the family content you post. You have proven yourself to be a true role model. Look forward to seeing whatever is next in store for your journey.

Brian Ill support whatever supports you and your family my guy and I usually dont purchase anything just because a pro angler says its good, but you are an honest, wholesome, family oriented brother that Ive personally learned a lot of about fishing from and I feel purchasing the products that support you is my small way to help keep that train moving. We need more upstanding people like yourself bruh. Keep doing what you do and I will keep supporting what ever brand is supporting you.

Classy as always BLat!! Appreciate your honesty and humbleness it is what makes you special in my world!

Man, love the transparency! Thanks for sharing!

Well done Brian! Just shows your continued class!

You are the main reason why I have several Favorite Rods, Love them specially the one signed by you. I don’t think anyone of us is judging you for your decision, I will personally follow you wherever you go cause I consider you a highly experienced and educated in the fishing industry and have learned a lot from you. Keep up the good work Brother!!!

My 13 yr old daughter caught her first bass cast to catch on your spinning rod. Look forward to supporting your next rod project!

Class act Brian, I enjoy your fishing content, keep reelin!

I'm glad to hear you put it this way,I bought a favorite fire stick baitcaster because of you,and I'm going to keep using it brother,thanks for the everything

Met you at the Favorite booth at Redcrest on Norman. You took the time to explain your line of rods, signed a bunch of stuff (even the rod sleeve which was tough 😂), and recommended to me the square-bill rod from your line. I have used it in club derby’s from Santee to Kerr and all over my home state of NC. The rod has been awesome, and my go to for square-bills, but the time you took to talk was more valuable to me. Whatever company you end up designing with next I will surely be giving a shot also.

Real stand up move from a real stand up man. Salute to u! We desperately need more like ya. Much success and Blessings on your future endeavors.

I think someone should jump onboard and sponsor you. A lot of us follow you and trust your words. I became a follower when i saw you won the bass master, your passion and just being genuine made me be a huge fan.

Brian, you're a class act. Humble to the core. Love this.

I've tried quite a few different rods and nothing feels quite like the b lat spin rod. I love that rod so much. It ALWAYS comes with me when I go fishing. That being said, nothings forever and i'm glad things didn't end on bad terms. Excited to see the next step in your journey. We'll support you for whatever you decide my man.

I almost never comment on KZread. Yet her I am. Brian..... I appreciate the tone you've taken with this video. The humility is impressive and while I don't know the history of Favorite Rods, you've done right as far as I can tell. As I mentioned before, I don't comment on videos, but I will tell you.... I thoroughly, thoroughly enjoy the way you speak and teach. Thank you so much B-Lat! I have no doubt a great rod builder is going to see your value and pick you up.

Can’t wait to see what lies ahead for you Brian! I fish Dobyn’s Fury rods now but that’s what I’ve used from the beginning as a suggestion. But I’d be excited to add whatever you do to my lineup. Thank you for all you do, Berry 😂

You've got class young man!

Good vid. Good approach to your parting ways w/ Favorite.

He has always been straight forward. I did buy a sick stick casting rod. Go get em bro

Bought one and love it thanks B Lat!!

Classy guy and one of my favorite anglers. Good luck bro

Great video, Brian. Keeping it real ❤

Bro……the sick stick is one of my favorites

You are awesome B.Lat. Thank you for all you do . love ya man.

I bought your cranking rod and I loved it so much that I ordered your spinning rod. It’s been on back order since February and I’m guessing it won’t be fulfilled now. Can’t wait to see where you go next, cause I trust your opinion.

Great Video, This is who you are and why we respect you so much.

Hey Brian: I’ve noticed this happening in a lot of industries over the the years. When it comes to sponsorship deals a company needs to have good products but also good people running the company and when any of that changes it can be but is not always for the better. Good luck the rest of the season…🎣🤔😎🐝

Very classy man. His parents raise a good man.

U already have the brand fam thanks for the great content and continue to make greatness

They are positioning favorite to be sold. To make it look more desirable to a potential buyer they are making the books look as good as possible. Unfortunately part of this is cutting guys loose.

Great communication, great way to say good bye to a good brand, and excited to see the future. Great job bro! Growing pains now more fun ahead!

Brian, the ONLY reason I bought your 3 sig series rods was because of YOU, your channel/expertise + my desire to support you Before BLAT, I've never heard of Favorite and never gave them a serious thought. I've also got a boat full of Zman now... It's a tired old saying but things do happen for a reason and you will rise to another level--just a matter of time. Appreciate your honesty and high integrity -- stay strong and we will be watching.

We trust you b lat! You changed my bass fishing life. Your next sponsor will be lucky to have you and they’re definitely getting my business

Class Act 😊 love the uplifting positive video.

I own 20 rods and my sick stick is my favorite spinning rod and my second favorite overall. From catching bluegill to 35+ inch bull reds things a beast.

Go wish Cashion!!!!!! Hopefully there is a whole lot more room than just with John Crews on the rod development end. Good coverage on the show too! Transparency always rules!

You are a stand up guy Brian Enjoy all your videos and attention to detail hope to meet you some day

Better thing getting casted your way. Good job B!!!

Like what Jameshawk said, you have honesty and integrity, which have to admit that's far and few nowadays that's why a lot of fans have stuck by you pros like you are rare.

Life has seasons… it seems like y’all had a good run! Looking forward to the next season.

It’s super awesome to see this. To be above bashing a company who helped you with so much,instead of bashing them. Too much bashing in this world good video man

A class act and a great person. I'm going to rock with you wherever you land. I got 4 of your rods, all your lures from Bill Lewis, Vibes shirts, and SMH shaky heads. Every tournament rod I have is a Favorite rod because of you and I am certain it's the case for many others.

When that new sponsor comes I'll be glad to take your donation of favorite rods

Stand up guy right there… Great vid B Lat 👊

I just know i’m always reinforced with each episode you put out that the next one will be just as good. Even if it is not directly fishing related.

You are a class act bro. Your future will be bright with the next company.

Cashion Fishing Rods out of Sanford, NC may be worth reaching out to. Small company but their rod building process is siiiiick.
