Daiwa wins Lucky Craft not so well off

Brent Ehrler gets picked up by Daiwa for sponsorship for reels (he has been using them for a while) and also rods (was using Lucky Craft).
Yeah I have noticed pictures of him in the past using Daiwa reels so I honestly figured it would not be long before he converted. While the LC rods were not light, my Fat Mini Magic is a very nice cranking rod and I can not see it getting replaced with anything.toddmc wrote:It was funny to see Brent say that he uses ABU when the footage of the FLW win last year showed him using Daiwa spinning reels. I thought he might go with Daiwa when I saw him fishing a Steez flippin stick a few months back. The Lucky Craft rods he used are not very light.

I think that is the MLF where he has a Revo on a Steez rod. It was earlier in the year when he was fishing a Fuego-A spinning reel in the FLW.Johnny A wrote:toddmc wrote:It was funny to see Brent say that he uses ABU when the footage of the FLW win last year showed him using Daiwa spinning reels.

I watch MLF from last fall and Ehrler is using Revo casting and spinning.
I think you're correct about the Steez rod. Don't think it was the Lucky Craft rods he was using previously.toddmc wrote:I think that is the MLF where he has a Revo on a Steez rod.

Daiwa and Shimano both have been fairly light in the sponsorship realm..interesting that they have traditionally been the top 2 brands. Different marketing philosophies, as Pure Fishing had cornered the market on pros, in the past...and Lews has signed a large stable of guys.BigG wrote:Daiwa needs to step up on sponsorship. Seems like they have been slipping since they left Denny B. Don't think they offer as much as some of the other mfgs.
