Its the way of the world at the moment isn't it?
Seems to be the same in all avenues of how the public can be parted from their money - influencers influencing where you holiday, eat, enjoy music, which bike you ride, hook you use, which channel you watch and so on.
Feels for a few years now that people are getting sick of it.
Someone must be buying from this method though as they keep on influencing!

For me, primarily it comes down to my requirements. From there I look at reviews and take recommendations from others… as such my gear is a complete mish-mash of brands

Well watch a video by a tackle brand and video by one of the bait companies/Cypography. No Delks and using RX+ etc. I always noticed that.

Too be fair I bought the MK1 ESP Terry Hearns 23 years ago after seeing Tel advertising them 😂
I still use them as my main rods today.

There's loads on my place. They only bug you if you let them. Otherwise, they're mostly decent blokes under a bit of pressure to catch.
I just leave them to it and catch fish on blunt hooks and last weeks hookbait 👌, you should try it 🙂

I think the youngsters that are easily swayed and believe what they see on social media etc .
I only buy bait that Slim Belly is currently using as it’s the best !!!

There just salesman at the end of the day. Clever advertising and key words.

As above, I've been behind the counter on a "show day" then proceeded to sell terminal tackle of other brands to these muggy "ambassadors" once they had finished promoting items they don't even use themselves.
It's all a con.
The quicker people realise this, the more money they'll keep in their pockets.

Most of the time, they don't even use the things they show in their fishing, so no, i only buy things i think that will cover my needs

I think I'd rather try things for myself over what a paid angler is flogging for the bosses.

Do people really buy an item because angler X is using it? I would actively not buy a brand if a sponsored angler using it irritates me and have done so plenty of times in the past, the worst in angling i have come across have normally been a sponsored one - desperate ****ers.
