WE supporting you wherever you go and whatever you do bro! Keep being genuine and we gonna always be here. Thanks for sharing this update. I'm in the market for new rods anyway so i'll definitely check them out!
Best of luck to you B, you bring a level (no pun intended lol) of authenticity and credibility to any partner you work with and Level is lucky to have you!
Brian - you are one of, if not the only touring pro angler that seems to genuinely care about and want to help his fan base. Having raced MX and HS and introducing my son to the sport I was tickled and excited to see you and your sons enjoying it as well. I am not one to run out and buy whatever gear or equipment a pro uses just because they do, but in this case if Level and BassMooch are teaming up with you then I'll at least give them a shot and try a rod and see what I think. It doesn't hurt to help out a Carolina based company either. Good luck in 2025, keep up the good work. It's appreciated more than you probably know.
EXTREMELY happy you went with a company that you appreciate and gives you the creative freedom you want. I wasn’t able to purchase your previous line up of rods but I will absolutely purchase the rods you design in the future. Happy for you brotha you deserve it
This has to be one of the most professional, best explanations of making "the change" that I have ever seen. Congratulations sir! And yes, work on those panfish rods!
I remember seeing you win an FLW… not sure why, but I got all choked up and actually cried! My daughter was sitting next to me and asked me why I was crying… I told her how difficult winning a tournament was and I felt that you were an underdog, under rated, and that I was so happy for you that I teared up! Keep on keeping on B Lat🎣
Congratulations on the new sponsor. I’m sure it feel a lot better to be somewhere that you feel Like you’re more apart of something and not just “fill in”. I look forward to seeing what you come out with in the rod department. A great all around spinning rod and cranking rod I hope.
I’ve respected you as a man, just as much I’ve respected you as an angler. I appreciate you balance of humility and transparency. Many blessings to you Brian!
Congrats! I’m looking forward to checking out their rods and especially your signature rods as they are developed. I’ve seen bassmouch of course, but will certainly look closer at their line of gear now. Looking forward to seeing your career continue to move forward and learning from your SUF school.
💥💥Loved the way you touched your rod tip to the floor to test it a couple times as you pull it out of the rod tube. Gary Clouse taught me to do that like back in 1977.😊
Congrat Brian been following your career for years and over the last 5 yrs started using zman baits! Love them! I’m excited about the new sponsorship and can’t wait to pick up your 7ft finesse signature rod for my zman baits!
Same here bro. Good luck with your new sponsorship. Personally I’m a St. Croix guy. I do own two Shimano SLX rods and two 13 Fishing fate rods and I can say I’ve been very happy with those rods. I’ve also recently started to go down the rabbit hole of rod building. Wish me luck🤣 Godspeed brother and tight lines
Blat congratulations! 🎈🎉🎊🍾 ❤ well wishes to you. I hope and pray 🙏 your new sponsorship will allow you to freely use your expertise that you have to continue to grow and explore… congratulations 🍾🎈🎊
Love your work B Lat. if you’re ever in south Louisiana hit us up. We’ll go sight fish redfish and hammer some trout. Keep up the great work. In Christ brother…
I just hopped on the website I see the BLat series is coming soon. The last spinning rod you designed was sweet I hope these have the front grip as well it’s a game changer
The NGX 72MHMF for Chatterbaits and 7MM for RockCrawlers are awesome rods! Just received the 72MHF for jigs and initial testing indicates it is really sensitive and a great 3/8oz jig rod.
Dig it brother!!! And youre correct, we do trust you!! Because we know you're genuine B!! Ive been browsing the internet looking for a new setup for bass season starting pretty much next month down here in Florida. Level may be just what i need, good luck ol son. We support ya no matter what homie 🤘🤘💪👊
@BrianLatimerFishing well you've never steered me wrong yet, and obviously your livelihood depends on your equipment, I highly doubt you'd use something that would put you at a disadvantage
Congrats on the new client / partnership. Level seems like they have a good product. I think a panfish rod would be awesome. I think most rod companies should have one because they are so versatile. Even more so with all the 2-3” minnow, craw baits hitting the market. Zman micro & finesse shroomz head with a 2-2.75” bait is what I tie on when I want to catch fish and panfish rods make it so much fun. …. My only other suggestion for a rod, idk if it’s possible but a MH power, ModF action, lure rating 1/8-3/8 oz, line weight 8-16lb casting rod would be the perfect swim jig rod as a bank angler. That would be sweet if level could build a rod like that. … I actually sold off all my MH/ModF rods this past fall and invested in a rod building equipment and blanks to try and build that exact rod.
@ went to level’s website. Rods are at great price point and there’s a 7’2”MHMF that’s pretty close to the specs I mentioned, intriguing. Def looking forward to March to see what specs are in the new Rod lineups.
I just got a “Level NGX” 7’3” Medium/Moderate crankbait rod for Christmas! I haven’t gotten a chance to use it yet but I can’t wait. I’m gonna pair it with the Shimano Chronarch 7.1:1! Good Luck this year!!🎣🏆💰🙏🙌
Congrats man!! Thats awesome! I passed by their shop when i fished murray, looked pretty awesome and love the fact that they have an entire lineup! 💪🏼💯
Brian, I have loved following you since 2016, (hard to believe 😮) and you have been a pioneer,leading your own path and in first class fashion….. I know I’m not as vocal commenting as I used to be ( addict) but I have never stopped pulling for your success and sending positive vibes and energy to you and your journey, including your family ❤ Happy New Year 🎆 2025 💯🥳💯🍀🎣🍀
I learned how to fish primarily from your videos. I have spent an ungodly amount of money on Zman products because I trust your opinion. Not fully through the video but whoever you’re working with now will probably know me well 🤣
I was minutes away from grabbing some of your favorite rods, before you dropped the other video. I have a bunch of old bass pro rods that I don't feel help me feel what I need to feel to get better. Can't wait for some of your recommendations. #bankfishing
The Blatt composite baitcasting rod, was and is 1 of the best open water chatterbait rods ever. You did good on that blank. Too bad my dad broke it and I can't get another, unless you got the MH laying around😂
I genuinely didn’t know Favorite still made rods. They’ve been quiet and haven’t had any rods at the shop I buy stuff at in the last few years. Good on you for leaving a brand that seems to be heading the wrong direction.
shirt idea B make it 2 level bubbles for the B Latimer then have level go down of the L or opposite b level you know. Man your going to add to whomever you go to. Best of luck to you sir.
WE supporting you wherever you go and whatever you do bro! Keep being genuine and we gonna always be here. Thanks for sharing this update. I'm in the market for new rods anyway so i'll definitely check them out!
Best of Luck, B-Lat! Look forward to seeing you help grow Level Rods into something special!
bro you have helped create darn near every lure i’ve ever been confident in and im not even joking!!!! thanks for all you do for the bassin community
Glad to hear I helped! Comments like this give me confidence that things are working the way they are supposed to
Best of luck to you B, you bring a level (no pun intended lol) of authenticity and credibility to any partner you work with and Level is lucky to have you!

You’re a good dude! I appreciate you.
EXTREMELY happy you went with a company that you appreciate and gives you the creative freedom you want. I wasn’t able to purchase your previous line up of rods but I will absolutely purchase the rods you design in the future. Happy for you brotha you deserve it
Good luck with your new sponsorship! I know you will make them proud and let us know once they are available for purchase! God bless BLat
I’ve got prototypes coming
Got my support wherever you go. Always been a favorite angler of mine that i trust and enjoy seeing have success.
Change can be hard, but we don’t grow sitting around in our comfort zone. Excited to see where this all leads. Keep the content coming! Good luck!
Good luck to you. Been subscribed for a while and love what you bring to us.
Congrats and good luck with your new sponsorship! Look forward to hearing more about the gear…
That “level” of the beard line up is nothing but perfect. I’m excited to see the new products come out!
This has to be one of the most professional, best explanations of making "the change" that I have ever seen. Congratulations sir!
And yes, work on those panfish rods!
Good move BLat! Always making decisions for the better and looking forward to following along with this change. Tight lines
I remember seeing you win an FLW… not sure why, but I got all choked up and actually cried! My daughter was sitting next to me and asked me why I was crying… I told her how difficult winning a tournament was and I felt that you were an underdog, under rated, and that I was so happy for you that I teared up! Keep on keeping on B Lat🎣
Wet happy for you Brian, keep up the good work and I look forward to your success with Level and for the new upcoming rods!
Congrats on your new association with your new sponsorship. Looking forward to seeing and hearing, to include learning more about them.
Support you wherever you go Brian. Been following since the FLW days and the trust has definitely been earned.
Congratulations on the new sponsor. I’m sure it feel a lot better to be somewhere that you feel
Like you’re more apart of something and not just “fill in”. I look forward to seeing what you come out with in the rod department. A great all around spinning rod and cranking rod I hope.
It feels great to be apart of something!
Awesome for you BLAT ! always admire you for being honest and true
Glad you’re in my circle of friends my man
Congrats BLat. Looking forward to the future with ya
I’ve respected you as a man, just as much I’ve respected you as an angler. I appreciate you balance of humility and transparency. Many blessings to you Brian!
Congrats!
I’m looking forward to checking out their rods and especially your signature rods as they are developed.
I’ve seen bassmouch of course, but will certainly look closer at their line of gear now.
Looking forward to seeing your career continue to move forward and learning from your SUF school.
Creators are starting to realize the impact they have on these companies. Good for him I'm sure the private conversations must be a Chit Show .
Wishing you the best of luck.
That's awesome Brian. I love my new Level Jerk Bait rod. I'm local to Bass Mooch. Good guys over there. Look forward to seeing what you come out with.
💥💥Loved the way you touched your rod tip to the floor to test it a couple times as you pull it out of the rod tube. Gary Clouse taught me to do that like back in 1977.😊
Can’t wait to look into them! Always pulling for you B Lat!!!!
Congrat Brian been following your career for years and over the last 5 yrs started using zman baits! Love them! I’m excited about the new sponsorship and can’t wait to pick up your 7ft finesse signature rod for my zman baits!
@@reptileluver011 getting prototypes in any day now!

Nice!!! I seen this coming a couple months ago. Level is dope!!!
A nice ultralight panfish rod would be awesome. Happy to see whats to come!
The NGX 72MHMF for Chatterbaits and 7MM for RockCrawlers are awesome rods! Just received the 72MHF for jigs and initial testing indicates it is really sensitive and a great 3/8oz jig rod.

Good luck Brian! Never heard of level but I will definitely check them out. Thanks
I think you’re gonna be impressed! You can view the complete line up at shopblat.com
Good luck and much success!! I saw that Hank Cherry is on the Level Team also. That would be a great collab!
He sure is

Definitely my favorite fisherman out there pro or otherwise ❤❤❤❤
I've never checked out level rods before. Going to do it right now

Best of luck to you from Marion, SC brother!
I just got a “Level NGX” 7’3” Medium/Moderate crankbait rod for Christmas! I haven’t gotten a chance to use it yet but I can’t wait. I’m gonna pair it with the Shimano Chronarch 7.1:1! Good Luck this year!!🎣🏆💰🙏🙌
Best of luck in your move! Look forward to meeting you at the Lebanon, TN boat show coming soon!
When is the boat show?
@Rogue_Wolf1 Jan 31-Feb 2nd. I think Brian is there the 31st and 1st. Earl Benz is gonna there too so that's kind of neat as well.
Congrats man!! Thats awesome! I passed by their shop when i fished murray, looked pretty awesome and love the fact that they have an entire lineup! 💪🏼💯
GL. Change is always good. Im always open to trying new product myself but im very happy with Dobyns rods and Shimano reels as my go to setup.
Awesome! 🙏 for all future endeavor! Wand a good jig rod. Florida tough
Sounds like this is a move for you, and much success to you and your family.
Thanks!!!
Don’t look back!!! Good Luck
Right on my man
Brian, I have loved following you since 2016, (hard to believe 😮) and you have been a pioneer,leading your own path and in first class fashion….. I know I’m not as vocal commenting as I used to be ( addict) but I have never stopped pulling for your success and sending positive vibes and energy to you and your journey, including your family ❤ Happy New Year 🎆 2025 💯🥳💯🍀🎣🍀

Congratulations
Wishing you all the best
You're the man!
B lat you the man … sometimes you gotta do you .. hope you get what you need .. wish you nothing but the best we all love you
A ultra light bfs would be great to throw z-man micro finesse baits
Panfishing is fun. I love exploring water holes with a ultralight. Bluegill can live almost ANYWHERE.
I bought several of your spinning rods from favorite. They are honestly the best spinning. Will your new sponsor make the same model? Love that grip.
I’ve always had so much respect for you for just keeping it REAL all the time. So proud to call you my friend! - Hannah
Congrats on your new partnership...Best of luck in 2025!
I learned how to fish primarily from your videos. I have spent an ungodly amount of money on Zman products because I trust your opinion. Not fully through the video but whoever you’re working with now will probably know me well 🤣
Thanks for the love and support on this!!! I’m certainly glad to hear my stuff helps you! It’s good to know the work is giving value to people
Good luck!!
I was minutes away from grabbing some of your favorite rods, before you dropped the other video. I have a bunch of old bass pro rods that I don't feel help me feel what I need to feel to get better. Can't wait for some of your recommendations. #bankfishing

I follow you, not a brand. But congrats!!! 🤜🏽🤛🏾
Congratulations! 💯🤝🏾

Man your going to add to whomever you go to. Best of luck to you sir.
The only angler I still follow since the beginning. Good luck in 2025!
Best of luck with the new company 🇺🇸
