As a sponsored tournament bass fisherman myself.You have to relize what Roland has done in his career.Sure now days he is way more into promotional gigs then winning tournaments and I'm sure his decision to go with yamamoto was all political.Just because someone sign's with a particular company shouldnt ever change the way he is looked at in the public eye.Yamamoto baits is a great company with a strong product and is probally looking to become a more popular national bait company,what better way to do it then sign one of the top 5 most visible bassfisherman in the world.This sounds like a good long lasting relationship.Its all about fishing for a living,which is most of our dreams and Roland is living it.


BTW: You talk about the helicopter lure,if a bait company offered you $250K to go to a pond and catch some fish on there lure and show it works.Wouldnt you?
