Diawa lets go their big 3

Just read on another site for bass fans that diawa let go there biggest 3 sponsors. Cochran, Denny brauer, and Yelas. Yelas and Cochran said they are not too upset but denny was a little mad and says they are missing the boat on this one. I personally don't know why you would let go of such legends. Whatever!!!

The fisherman were sponsored by Daiwa, not the other way around.

This is probably just a financial decision... bang for the buck. Maybe these 3 anglers weren't adding value. I know I wouldn't buy a Daiwa just because Denny Brauer uses them. Maybe these three didn't help out at shows and other events. (Some angler's heads are so big they think they are doing you a favor just using your products.) The truth will probably never come out.

I believe Brauer and maybe even Cochran both said they had not been asked to do anything (from Daiwa) in like 3 years. Maybe they are supposed to just do stuff on their own, but I wouldn't think so at that level. I would think the sponsoring company would have guidelines in the contract on what they are to do.

I can't imagine Yelas having to big of a head. Skeptical on that of Brauer too. Cochran, maybe.

I think just like ESPN's latest decision with BASS, this all comes down to $. My guess is these guys had the biggest ($) deals and Daiwa just chose to "downsize". Seems like it might have been better to cut the deal some and keep them associated, but like kg said, we'll never know the real story on why the decision was made.
