He had. Makes a bit of a mockery of all the mutual “no better company/team member” doesn't it.

Not really interesting, Frank, and other consultants will join with who offers them the most money.
Its a strange move, Mistral being bigger you'd assume they'd afford a better offer but who knows.

Do any of us really take any note when anglers jump to other brands? I don't think it has much impact anymore. If Terry Hearn or Darrell peck moved it may cause a stir but we are all so used to seeing certain anglers move around a lot. Frank is probably just doing what is right for himself, can't blame him for that.

Not blaming him at all just explaining its a job move rather than a quality one.
at the end of the day if you watch a youtube video they will wax lyrical about whomever is sponsoring the video.
I think Terry Hearn is in a unique position in that its one of the relationships thats actually been really beneficial for a brand. others I can think of are the korda boys and mainline, Jerry hammond and mad baits, dave lane and mainline.
Most the others seem to shop seasonally lol

He'd have far more of a role at Mistral if that was the case, with respect to five star they're small, mistral has the buying power to make certain ingredients more financially viable / has a long established network ,you'd think he'd be better equipped for that job with them if that was the case.
he also made that statement when he moved from spotted fin onto vital, at the time spotted weren't rolling their own I don't think where as he got to develop a new bait with vital. Mojo ? I think it was called, although he also developed smokey jack with spotted.
Its allowed to be about money, the very fact he gives so much away free if anything justifies the demands he could carry ( if he so chose ).
Why should he work for free?

Have the bigger brands realised that certain anglers don't bring anything to the table anymore or the fact that having named anglers using your bait won't actually bring more custom? There are better ways to bring new custom in this day and age. If you take Jim Shelley, nobody actually knows what bait company he is with anymore!

I used to use 5 Star and did pretty well on the fish fix. Something changed with the bait after about 2 years (probably about 7 years ago now). They became a bit more inconsistent and i started to struggle so i moved on
I think that bobby has pretty big ideas and this move could see them well. Good luck to them but i certainly wont be going back
