So Terry Hearn joined Sticky months ago but there has been nothing heard from him on the bait front. From a marketing point of view it would make sense for Sticky to have his face plastered over all their products as he will generate a lot of business for them. But oddly everything is quiet - wonder if the deal has fallen through?

The fact that Terry left Dynamite to join Sticky is advertising enough really.
Promo material is, or has already been done.

Probably amongst the small print off the deal is Terry wanting to carry on, as he was, quietly catching them without too much interference from excessive marketing stuff. Just IMHO.

He's not listed on the sticky team on the site either so you may have a point there. And to the second poster, he has used his name and face in a lot of adverts for esp rods and dynamite bait etc hasn't he so not sure that's why? Oh and jrc stuff he used his name on. Maybe they're just waiting to bring out a new super duper bait called manillhearn.

On the esp Facebook page he was using a test bait from sticky

I'm sure if he had left sticky someone would be singing loudly they got him

Hearnia is maybe a batter name.

Am I alone here but I'm not really interested in what sponsorship deals named anglers have.
I'm sure Mr Hearn and the others would catch well on whatever bait they use.
Just because they catch well on a certain bait firms bait doesn't mean I will, they catch more because they are better anglers than I am.

Yes, and Frank has moved to Trakker, bet those new bivvies improve his catch rate.

I think Jim Shelley has proved that theory.

Yep I totally agree. Most sponsored anglers aren't using the bait anyway. Even if they are using the boilies, loads of them either use hookbaits from other companies or tigers. I personally don't take any notice. Terry would catch fish whatever he uses, as would any of the other names, because they are dedicated, make or have loads of time and are bloody good anglers. I'm very happy for Terry, but it won't be making me buy any sticky bait.

he's probably fishing with tigers anyway

Over casters

The fact Terry is using there bait is all the marketing they need. No need to plaster his face all over there products. No doubt Sticky have something up there sleeve filming wise with him. Probably centered around there new bait they have coming out, the Legacy i believe its called.They will use him exactly how ESP use him. And that's exactly how he wants it. Less is more.

Don't stick baits own thinking anglers tackle I'm surprised they haven't got him onto the TA stuff yet unless he's sticking with ESP as he's been with them for years
