It amazes me that you guys keep feeding this guy! I sit here day after
day convinced Rodney could not sell sno-cones in hell. There is an old
saying,
" It is better to be thought a fool, than to open one's mouth and remove
all doubt" Another is " If the shoe fits wear it!"


In other words someone could blast your day job and how you do it on this
news group and you would never respond or defend yourself ?

I spend hundreds of hours working and testing my tackle, when some one
tells the "world" that it's all B.S. without even testing it,, yes I get
mad as hell. I could care less what he personally thinks about my stuff,
but acting as some kind of expert, and then bashing it

At one point on this group I offered "free" stuff
Warren came on here and told everyone that sent for it was a fool.

What the hell was he "afraid" of ? He was afraid that he would loose his
credibility.

I'm not here trying to sell anything, I'm here trying to inform people of
new ways to fish, more productive ways, ways that no one on here knows how
to do, and that is the big killer for Warren, he can't figure out how my
stuff works, and if he has not used it it and approves it, then no one on
the board should use it.

I could easily explain "How" I use these rigs to catch fish, but way back
when I was trying to do that, I was called a spammer. I was forbidden by
the elite few here from discussing catching fish with them, as each time I
did I was spamming. I have found out it is "who" you are, not what your
pushing, that is important to this group.

It's OK to flame anyone here, but don't let them defend themselves

Warren

That's correct Warren, and when I have been offered to go head to head
with pro's there was something that I was doing it for, either money, a
contract, or press. My trip was totally paid for, as well as my time. I
can't see any of my manufacturers paying for me, just to beat you, sorry
but your name just does not carry that much weight in the fishing
industry, actually I can't find it carrying any weight.

I have offered you 4 hours of my time, to educate you in the new methods
of bass fishing, and that is what me fishing against you would become,
as you don't have a clue about how to turn lure presentation from 2
dimension to 3. Currently you only know how to "retrieve" a lure to make
it move, you are limited to just that retrieval force, and of course
gravity. You are limited to this, because your tools, only allow you to
control this. My added tool allows another dimension, This new dimension
allows you to makes lures act like "real" sources of food, better than
that, it can make them look like easy meals. My tool goes even further,
it allows you to work a lure in spots you can't even fish with your
tools, way back against the bank behind all kinds of obstructions, holes
in weeds beds no bigger than a foot, that you can keep a lure moving in
for as long as you want, and makes other places easier, places you have
to flip to, I can cast from fifty feet away, keeping you and the boat
away from the fish. my tools allow just one cast to a bed, and you can
work that lure forever if you would ever need to. You see my new fishing
inventions allow you to keep your lures where the fish are, not have to
just drag them by the fish.

Alass, my tools are not for suspended fish in the middle of a lake, it
is just for when they are on cover, beds, working the banks, holding of
off the bottom, or ledges, feeding the raised points, and everywhere
else but out in the middle of the lake.

You see Warren it is not that I am a better fishermen than anyone else,
it is just I have other tools I use that allow me to catch both more and
bigger fish, bigger, because big fish, move very slowly over to a meal,
sure they will lunge at something drug near their nose, but if something
is a few feet away, they will take their time to get over to it. WI th
my tools you can keep that lure in one spot giving the bigger fish time
to examine it, then eat it


I realize all this is hard for you to understand, as you have for many
years mastered your tools, and now I'm throwing the unknown at you, and
the unknown scares you, as well as makes you mad. It means you have to
learn again. It means that anyone who has not spent the years you have
learning 2 dimensional presentations, can now out fish you using 3.

Well there is no reason to fear this for a while, as we are not going to
be marketing this to bass fishermen, (this time around) but to the
fishing for anything that will bite majority of fishermen in the world,,
it will take the majority of bass fishermen a while to see how these new
tools could open up a new dimension to bass fishing, just look at how
long it has taken just plane drop shotting to come across the country. I
have a new weight for those reluctant to change over, that weight lets
you fish your soft plastics through the rocks as well as brush without
snagging. I have other terminal tackle in the testing stage for those
die hards of 2 dimensional fishing as well.

The bad thing about this industry is the manufactures must catch the
fishermen "first", actually that must catch the wholesale, and store
buyers first, then the fishermen. you can have something that catches
fish like crazy, but does not catch the fishermen, or the buyers

Lol Rodney, you're the one that's scared...

So your rubberband keeps a bait in one place. You make it sound like that's
the best way to present a lure. Maybe 10% of the time.

90% of the time bass wanna chase something down & kill it, a good look at a
lure is the last thing you want to give a bass.

Your presentation wont sell because theres nothing natural about it.
Unnatural things spook bass, they don't attract them.

Of course you wouldn't know this, since you don't know much about bass
fishing...

So keep wasting your time spewing to a few nobody's here on rofb. We'll all
(still) be laughing when your "new" rig is in the closeout bins.

How do you know this,, you don't, you are guessing again, because you
have never fished my way, you can't say this without guessing. I have
spend many hours fishing for huge bass with underwater cameras in place
and reviewing those underwater tapes, seeing how huge bass respond to
various lures, and natural food sources. I don't "assume" anything.

There are thousands of bass caught everyday to very slow fished
Carolina, Texas , and drop shot rigs, I guess your saying these don't
work 90% of the time either ? What about dead sticking ?

Last week a man told me he cleaned a 3 lb bass, and found no less that 6
plastic worms in it's stomach, none of them had a hook in them,, I guess
these worms must'a been fished fast without a hook in them, or the bass
just sucked them up off the top or bottom of the lake as they sat there,
discarded by some worthless man who tossed them over board.

90% of the time bass wanna chase something down & kill it,


Little bass want to do this,, big bass wanna eat, and get bigger with
the least amount of wasted energy getting that meal,, what planet do you
live on,, one with little dink bass every where? Well guess what,
little dinks like a free meal as well, one they don't have to chase.

You tell that trash to the professional bass guides, where people go to
fish for trophy bass, they will only guaranty big bass, only if your
using a live, "slow fished", minnow. What happens when the bass don't
fell like chasing anything,, you get skunked, I don't.

It seams "reaction" bass fishing, is all you know about, that is less
than I thought you knew

a good look at a
lure is the last thing you want to give a bass.


That may be true when throwing un-natural looking and moving baits at
them, but far from true throwing natural looking lures, moving the
right way. Every time I'm sight fishing, I watch these bass get a good
look before pouncing my lures

Your presentation wont sell because theres nothing natural about it.
Unnatural things spook bass, they don't attract them.


Well I guess that "Proves" mine is as natural as it gets, because bass
devour the lures on my rig

Of course you wouldn't know this, since you don't know much about bass
fishing...


I guess I know a lot more about bass catching, than fishing.

So keep wasting your time spewing to a few nobody's here on rofb. We'll all

won't, what will sell and what want, how many of your own products have
you succeeded with ?

I have proved my point, once again, I just hope some learned, something
about you.

As for me, the sales of my products will decide who is right about the
closeout bins (at least I'm on the market, and in the top stores in the
country with my tackle) I'm making money now, people are catching fish
with my stuff, most are very, very happy with my stuff, once they learn
how to fish them. I hope that you will be able to learn how someday.

Joe, first off, I want to commend you for trying to keep this newsgroup
a friendlier place, even though you are setting yourself up as a target
for doing so. I think you found from my earlier email to you that I
give credit where it is due, but I also hold others accountable. It
sounds like you are saying that you think Rodney is trying to make a
contribution here. I will do my part if he will do his. I think you
will find that the harshest I have been lately is to say that I
preferred Al's rantings to Rodney's. If he wants to contribute, and act
civil, I think I can try to forget his many insults from the past, or
at least I can try not to bring them up. The questions a 1. Can he
keep from jumping out of everyone's killfile? 2. Can he post in such a
manner that he won't wind up in more killfiles?

You used to, but I will no longer go down to your level to defend
myself, you had a way to make me get down with you, but after this last
bunch of post I found out why, It's just your lack of knowledge, so from
now on, when you bash my products, I will counter with the techniques
used to fish them properly, so Warren each time you take a shot at me,,
just like you did at the start of all this, you will allow me to teach
others another way to fish, one that is much more productive, than your way.

By the way guys , I don't sell these products, the manufacturers do,
they put the prices on them, and Warren, we will see if we can get a
Bass Pro Shops, Gander Mt., or Cabella's out in your area.

I know that Rodney has an abrasive side to him. Several of us here do,

too.
And I know that some of the people ridiculing Rodney in this string has

been
personally offended in the past and so have a personal axe to grind with
him. Others just express distaste for his attitude. Well, we have a right

to
express opinions related to bass fishing, bass tackle, boats, etc. on this
group, and I guess we can stretch it to opinions about bass tackle
manufacturers.... but by now the point has been made repeatedly. The
repetitious Rodney-bashing going on here is getting tiresome.

It appears to me that Rodney has been offering some reasonable,

thoughtful,
coherent responses here, especially lately. What do you say we cut him

some
slack?

There aren't many fishing tackle manufacturers on this group. Lots of us
hold firm opinions about bass promoters, manufacturers, and pros. From

what
I've leaned over the past four or five years, it's clear to me that some

of
those opinions are unfounded. On the other hand, some of the things Rodney
has said have been right on target. If you're interested in gaining

insights
into the innovation, design, and manufacturing side of the industry, you
might want to pay attention to what Rodney has of value to share and
overlook the traits that you find personally distasteful.

I've learned several things from Rodney, and I have no problem with trying
new ideas... new lures... new knots, or whatever else he might suggest. I
urge us all... just take whatever of value we find here, and show a

measure
of grace and courtesy in the way we treat each other, and keep the
discussions on a higher plane, if possible.

Indiscrete, hurtful remarks and public ridicule or scorn rankle and

fester,
and it's hard to just drop them and move on with our lives. If you're

unable
to put them behind you, then please don't use this forum as your personal
soapbox to extract revenge or vent your spleen. Rodney doesn't hide his
e-mail address here.... If you have something against him, take it up with
him personally and leave us out of it.

I have only been reading this thread, and have been reluctant to "add"
to it, but I would like to comment on something. Challenging Rodney to
defend his inventions by personally fishing them is not the approach to
challenging the invention it's self. Many inventors are not "experts" at
what they are trying to improve with their inventions.....golf club
manufactures hire engineers to figure out better ways to structure the
clubs/balls so the "athlete" can improve their performance, the engineer
may not even play golf at all. It is the same with many, if not most,
inventions that help a performer at some skill activity. The inventor is
often the one least qualified to "test" his/her invention. I realize
that Rodney has offered up some claims as to his expertise in
fishing...so I am not trying to circumvent those claims...just saying
that the proof of the validity of the inventors claims is often provided
by others more skilled in that field. In Rodney's case, he is a
fisherman, and has developed some products he feels will help other
fishermen catch more fish...and he certainly must have tried those
products himself, at least to a degree that satisfied him that it was a
viable venture to pursue. But I would wager that he would be the first
to admit that he is not the most skilled of fishermen..especially bass
fishermen. I think that the proof is in the "pudding" so to
speak....don't knock it if you haven't tried it....don't try it if you
choose not to...but either way, let the product speak for it's
self....Rodney certainly doesn't do a very good job of speaking for it,
but that does not automatically condemn the product....but rather,
exposes his lack of "people skills".

Disclaimer: This not an endorsement of the products, nor a "defense" for
Rodney....just an opinion grin

I went to those who were "very" skilled fishermen, for evaluations.
actually some of the very best, that wanted to catch fish with it. (in
other words they gave it their best to use it properly)

These are the famous fishermen, but I can't mention their names anymore
here, because that is name dropping, and they were "bought off" by
little old me,, that is what some say on here. Like I could buy off
these guys. Isn't that a joke.

I could easily post "their" comments here, but no one would believe them
either, I could even post news paper stories, or quotes of these
fishermen they made in news paper stories, and magazines.


Do you understand why I get so upset with some on this group,, there is
no proof they will accept ? Even if I went to one of their little
tournaments, and won it, they would claim I did it using something else.

A number of years ago I worked with a bunch of guys, that they all were
amazed at how sharp my pocket knife was, they all had me sharpening
their knives. Dang I was good at it, it took me many years of practice
to get a knife sharper than a new bought razor blade, then one day one
of the guys came in magazine that showed this little device that would
allow anyone to sharpen a knife better than me, B.S. nothing can do
that, I claimed, proper knife sharpening is both an art and a skill, no
one can come up with something that anyone can do it right with without
spending years learning how.

One day one of the guys brought in one of these new fangled knife
sharpeners, he sat in the break room putting razor edges on everyone's
knife, It just ain't so I claimed,, no way that thing can out do my
edges. Well that Lansky came darn close, actually once a guy practiced
just a little with it, he could out sharpen me in half the time.

Now does everyone use the Lansky ? Hardly, but that thing will do what
they claimed, it allowed "anyone" to put a razor edge on a knife.

Think about it

Think about it

I don't doubt your claims Rodney. I get the point you are trying to
make in the last message. Bottom line is your approach was terrible to
this whole thing.

My point was that if you are going to name drop it will mean nothing to
me. So who cares what I think??? We obviously you do, because you are
hell bent on getting this group to believe in your product. So my
solution was, if that is your motivation, then come to a tournament and
show us all how it works. That is how you will hook this group. Hell,
look at horny toads!!!!!!! (Randy, Heavy, Jerry)!!!!

My point about paying off as you put it the "Pros" was that those guys
will benefit from helping you, either now or in the future when it takes
off.

Also, you keep saying how would you benefit from showing up to a
tournament. Well there is a pretty diverse crowd. Ronnie Garrison
touches a lot of people (fishing.about.com) plus fishes tournaments.
Warren , whether you like him or not is a very successful tournament
fisherman, and has the respect of a lot of people, including myself.
Steve Huber is a Professional guide, and sees a ton of people a year, as
well as a having his own outdoors show now!!!!!! So right there, you
could benefit greatly by showing up and showing how your products work.
Yeah, nobody is going to pay for your travel and lodging to come
here but it might pay off.

Well, I promise everybody this is the last post on this thread from me.
Like it was mentioned before so much of this is just the same stuff
over and over.

Joe...although I'm sure you have the right intentions with your
post...I'm equally positive that you're sending out the wrong message.
(bc, IMO, you are reinforcing his bad conduct...while admonishing guys
who hae been snake-bit by this guy).

Like you, I bit my tongue and ignored this snake when he first
posted on the group. However, I made a mistake. I shouldn't have as
its these kinds of snakes that are hurting not only the fishing
industry but also the future of fishing. We're not talking about
"grumpy old men" abrasiveness here...we're talking about a snake who
has viciously attacked each and every person on this usergroup and
some very individually...all while spamming this group with his
snakeoil products.

Yes, he might have something useful to add to this group (as I've
heard that some peeps out west eat snakes and find em' mighty tasty).
However, the problem is that he has repeatedly proven that he's not
worth what might be waiting behind inside his curtain #3.

If this was a moderated group...Rodney would've been booted a
long time ago for his conduct. (and if he said to us in person what
he's said online...I suspect that he'd probably end up buried in some
river swampland somewhere). But because this is an unmoderated
group...Rodney continues to spam us with his crap and insult us every
single chance he gets...for the most part...without recourse...except
for a few brave souls who are doing the jobs we also should be doing.

Frankly, we should apologize to the rest of the community here
for not getting involved earlier to help gut this snake. And we
should be thankful to those guys who had the courage to finally speak
up and just telll it like it is regarding him. And we should let
anyone "that this guy mentions" (ie. Bill Dance, etc.) who we run
across know about his conduct. Q: "Hey, you wouldn't happen to know a
guy name Rodney Long?" A: "Ehhhh...yea...the snakeoil bungee cord
guy...:"

Or we can all start by sending an email to Bill Dance at
and tell ol' Bill that Rodney is using his
name right and left regarding these "snakeoil" products and then send
him a sample "Rodney" post. I'd send a similar one to the guys at Mojo
Lures too. You can see their contact info at:
http://www.mojolures.com/comp_pro.php 100-1 these guys don't want to
have nothing to do with someone who spams fishermen and treats
fishermen like Rodney does. Why? Because they know that he's poison
for whatever they are selling! This future of fishing demands that
we don't sit on our asses and let snakeoil salesman ruin the sport for
us...

Lastly, I have no ill will toward Rodney at all. When I first
saw his posts on the group, I gave him the benefit of the doubt and
figured he was just a sick, crazy old man (ya know the kind). If
there is something wrong with him that causes him to be so hateful to
this group and to whoever else he communicates with...I sincerely hope
he finds the answer to that problem. In the meantime, the best thing
Rodney could do for his products or any other product...is to not say
a freaking word about em'...

In all due respect Dwayne... look at the subject of this thread, it was
started by Warren out of the blue. Nothing or noone here asked him to share
this information, so what was his intent?

I agree with everything else that you've said, but there is always the
Kill-File option, and to the best of my knowledge... most newsreaders have
it.

I know for a fact that the good guys at Mojo Lures would be happy to hear
about this, or at least they sure acted like it the last time I e-mail them.
I was actually promised that Mr. Long would "never use his mouth, or fingers
again to discredit [their] company again." I'm sure that Bill Dance would be
glad to know this is going on too. Why don't you take this to them?

I think he should take you up on this Warren. I mean, afterall, he has

so surely he can afford it by now...with all the pros and CEOs he has wowed,
cross-country travel should be the least of his operating expenses this
year. I mean with the vanity and name dropping coming from him, here at ROFB
alone, I am surprised he is still even arguing here when he should be
getting a head shot done for this year's Forbes list...

I simply can't wait to see how the fishing annals hold up his inventions,

In other words someone could blast your day job and how you do it on
this news group and you would never respond or defend yourself ?


Yes Rodney, but how many people do you know that sit around and get all
worked up because people don't buy the propoganda about how *good* they are
at their day job? Especially when it is them telling everyone how good at
their day job they are? (In other words, you're going to need a better
metaphor, better grammar and spell checkers too) So keep on bragging about
how good you are at your "day job" and you will likely continue to catch
flack over it.

It's not your stuff most have a problem with as best I can tell, it is your
relative (more like absolute) lack of anything resembling humility. Name and
title dropping are not attractive, and most people who do it are, for the
most part, considered quite vain and are usually taken with grain of salt at
best. This is the bed you have made for yourself here, don't blame Warren or
anyone else for it...I mean there is a twist on the old adage that goes
like: Those who can, do. Those who can't, brag about how good they are...

Self confidence is one thing, a superiority complex is quite another.


I spend hundreds of hours working and testing my tackle, when some one
tells the "world" that it's all B.S. without even testing it,, yes I get
mad as hell. I could care less what he personally thinks about my stuff,
but acting as some kind of expert, and then bashing it

At one point on this group I offered "free" stuff
Warren came on here and told everyone that sent for it was a fool.

What the hell was he "afraid" of ? He was afraid that he would loose his
credibility.

I'm not here trying to sell anything, I'm here trying to inform people
of new ways to fish, more productive ways, ways that no one on here
knows how to do, and that is the big killer for Warren, he can't figure
out how my stuff works, and if he has not used it it and approves it,
then no one on the board should use it.

I could easily explain "How" I use these rigs to catch fish, but way
back when I was trying to do that, I was called a spammer. I was
forbidden by the elite few here from discussing catching fish with them,
as each time I did I was spamming. I have found out it is "who" you are,
not what your pushing, that is important to this group.

It's OK to flame anyone here, but don't let them defend themselves

Lastly, I have no ill will toward Rodney at all.


Man, I'd sure hate to hear what you have to say about
someone you *do* have ill will towards.

With respect Joe, what are you trying to say? If BS was a tin whistle,
that's a whole brass band. Marketing is OK on this group now? That' all his
sanctimonious post are!

Rodney,

Why don't you put a pencil to airfare from Rooster-Poot, Arkansas (or
wherever you're from) to Rhinelander, WI.

Late August if I remember correctly.

Touch down in Chicago or Milwaukee and I can drive the rest of the way
or, if this is too friendly and freaky for ya, airfare to either and you
pick up (the cost of) a rental car.

The ball's in your court.

In all due respect Dwayne... look at the subject of this thread, it was
started by Warren out of the blue. Nothing or noone here asked him to share
this information, so what was his intent?

I agree with everything else that you've said, but there is always the
Kill-File option, and to the best of my knowledge... most newsreaders have
it.

I know for a fact that the good guys at Mojo Lures would be happy to hear
about this, or at least they sure acted like it the last time I e-mail them.
I was actually promised that Mr. Long would "never use his mouth, or fingers
again to discredit [their] company again." I'm sure that Bill Dance would be
glad to know this is going on too. Why don't you take this to them?



What have I said to discredit Bill,, let's see
Bill loves the Boomerang, that he told Hank Parker I taught him how to
fish (he just thought he knew how until he used the Boomerang) these
were his words, sure some of it was lounge and cheek, but he was acting
serious. That he has done shows using it, that he is quoted all over the
place singing it's praises. He even has his picture on the package, All
of this is true so what else have I said that discredited him

What have I said about Mojo? they make and sell the products I invent.

That their owner thinks the wiggle rig is the greatest thing he has ever
used fishing, or ever seen used

Ok what's the beef

Or we can all start by sending an email to Bill Dance at
and tell ol' Bill that Rodney is using his
name right and left regarding these "snakeoil" products


Dwayne, Bill's picture was on the Boomerang rig, go to my web site and
you will see Bill all over it, all with his permission of course, you
can even see him fishing it, so "your" calling Bill a snake oil salesman ?


and then send
him a sample "Rodney" post. I'd send a similar one to the guys at Mojo
Lures too. You can see their contact info at:
http://www.mojolures.com/comp_pro.php 100-1 these guys don't want to
have nothing to do with someone who spams fishermen and treats
fishermen like Rodney does.


I'm not, have not, spamed according the rules set forth of new groups,
You need to look up those rules


Dwain when I am attacked I used to respond with equal force, but never
more than equal, Yes Dwain, you and another, sent them "part" of a
thread, trying to cost me my contracts, I sent it "all" to them, once my
post were "not" taken out of context, Mojo understood my responses


Mojo sells three of my products, all the ones you call snake oil, so now
your calling Mojo, snake oil salesmen ?

Well that's OK I guess, they know they're not, they stand behind what
they sell, including my inventions

That's why you never see major manufacturers on this news, or any other
news group.

This is absolutely rediculous....you have a beef with Rodney, I have no
problem with that, but to get other people involved, like writing to
manufacturers and "pros", about what is posted here is pure CRAP! Get
over it!
