Plenty of room on our Braggin' Board for new photos. We get several each
month showing fish caught with Secret Weapons, and our practice from the
beginning has been to send a free lure to each person whose photo makes it
onto the board.

Just remember to drop that camera in your pocket as you leave for the lake,
Henry.... I seem to always be forgetting mine on days when I catch good
fish. Of course, I remember it on the other trips, but all I end up with are
photos (taken by Charles) of me climbing trees to retrieve lures.

Thanks to ROFB, from SWL
 

Ya know , I have really really tried to be quiet in regards to this and most
of the threads lately. But there appears to
be some on this NG that jest don't know when to shut the
F%$ck up!

Which is one of the main reasons I don't contribute much here anymore.
To: the folks at Secret Weapons, Thanks for the offer. Wish I could take you
up on it. Joe, you know how much I love to throw a spinnerbait. Especially a
S/W! But you also know that I will probably not have much use for them in
the near future.

To those of you who jest can't seem to accept a gracious
offer like that of S/W jeez I'm soooooooo sorry! And **** off. S/W's offer
was in no way couched like some of the others I have read in the past. I
personally don't consider their offer to be spam.

Wish I I could hang around here to really raise some hell.
But it seems that I will be spending the next 6 months in merry ole London.
Wish I could ask that you all play nice
but I know that is not in the forecast.

I see the main problem with spamming is that they clutter up your incoming
mailbox. So in that vain, we had one generous offer for a christmas discount
on lures, and 25+ e-mails regarding the offer....

So which is worse; one that could be easily deleted or FIFTY replies and
comments to sift through?

posts about people's ebay ads and 1 post on actual fishing.

To quote the Charter: "Money-making schemes, advertising, and other types of

I personally don't think Joe's post was completly out of line but I respect
Ken's right to state it's "spam" (in this case, I don't think I'd agree 100%

I think it's a good idea that message boards and newsgroups be free of
commercialism. But it's not necessary for 100% rigidity; there can be a
little bending and flexing. I think an occasional announcement or special
offer, such as the one in this thread, is OK, as long as it's done by a
REGULAR, CONTRIBUTING MEMBER of the group.

Besides, those who voice their sincere complaints about it will help to keep
such activity in check.

is truly a class guy. To blindly strike out with stupid accusations like you

Well, I went and took a look. Frankly, it's hard to believe SW loses
money at $4.25 for a 2 blade spinner bait. Oh well, any old rubber worm

wasting thier time. However, I'm smart enough to know that there is NEVER
one sure fire way of catching fish. Just like you couldn't build a house

The selling price may not have a net profit component but it would likely
contain an element of fixed costs. So the sales effort does contribute to
profitability in the long run since some of the fixed costs are covered.

Fliptail worms were made by Stembridge. The closest thing in the Creme
line was the Shimmy series (Shimmy Babe, Shimmy Gal, Shimmy Granny).
Since you specifed 6", that would be the Shimmy Babe. One of my
favorites too, in the old days. But 95% of the LM over 6 I caught
pre-1980 came on a 9-1/4" Fliptail Daddy.

Thanks to all the guys at SW lures. I could use a few more, like Joe I spend
quite a bit of time going into brush and trees to retrieve a lure..sometimes
not my own. As I looked back over 2004 a vast majority(95%) of my
spinnerbait fish were taken on SW, most of them (s Baits)were either hand
outs at the Classics or a few that were sent for an ROFB contest.

SW has done a lot for the regular members of this NG.. so those of you
who got ****ed thinking it was spam..too bad..too dam bad, especially those
who have nothing to contribute here. While I respect an individuals right to
lurk here, don't get upset at an offer for the regular members of this NG
and then start spouting your "Don't spam me crap" I know both Charles and
Joe,,they are genuinely good people. It was not a spam offer. Those that
think it is, should come down to the MTC in April and see how much these
guys do for this group. or stick around here and see how much knowledge they
contribute on a regular basis I have fished with a lot of people that post
here.... a better group I can't imagine..it's funny how most of the
objections to Joe's post came from the people that don't know any better.
Get over it, Happy New Year to everyone...wow I did it without cursing!!!!!

Merry Christmas from Bob, Charles, Joe, and all the folks at Secret Weapon
Lures. Maybe we can help make the waning days of this season a little
merrier, and brighten up your new year as well.

From the ranks of ROFB came our first field testers, prostaffers, and
customers. A number of you have promoted us with your fishing buddies and
your local tackle shop dealers, and we really appreciate it. To give
something back, we've sponsored several events ROFB Classics and host its
Web site as well. Now, we'd like to do something for individual members.

Through December 2, we're offering VIP pricing, normally for prostaffers
only, to ROFB members. To take us up on this offer, go to
http://secretweaponlures.com, and click the "ProStaff" button under
"Login"
in the top menu.

Thanks Joe, I always look forward to reading about your specials or new
lures, or whatever is going on at SWL. I'll get over to your site tomorrow
and check it out.

Hey Bob, Charles, and Joe -- Merry Christmas guys, even if I'm a few days late
here. I'm sure going to visit the website and stock up. As you know I'm a
real fan --.I'm still using some of the original prototypes from years and
years ago before the bait had a name. Hope to see you at Center Hill this
year. Joe, if you'll bring your fiddle, I'll bring a guitar and a couple of
french harps.

Sounds good, Rob. I'll even put on some fresh strings on my fiddles at the
same time I put new line on my reels for the Mid-Tenn Classic. See you then!
