I'm almost to the point of believing that Al's brothers has joined the
group.

Sorry, I don't understand all the ill will the members of this NG show
Mr.
Long. I really thought he was trying to help here. I don't think he
was
talking about Mr. RR's joke, rather, used it to make a point he
believes
to
be true.

I never had a problem with Mr. Long, Mr. Huber, Mr. Norton, Mr.
Rickard,
Gill, or anyone else who produces or distributes fishing related
products
&
services talking about them. Yet, each has been attacked at one point
or
another until they offered free product, then everyone loves them.

When attacked, people with passion for their product or ideas will
attack
back, it is quite understandable. I also think that it is acceptable
for
the attack, If the producer is not ready to defend their product,
than
how
good can it be. I consider the attack to be a test of the poster's
belief.

Well, see ya, time for work.

I think it was the way Rodney went about pushing his rubber string. The
I
am so f'n great, I have invented the best thing in the world for
fishing,
and you guys are jealous because I am going to make more money off this
than
you can even dream of. Great gimmick idea. Tourney winner? maybe once
in
a while. But luck also plays big in a tourney besides skill. When you
have
less than 6 oz separating the top people in a tourney, luck played a big
part. But the fact that those pros consistantly weigh in near limits is
also skill. If the bungee was that good, John Kerr and the other pros
would
be using it 50%. Every FLW would have TV shots of the bungee. Well in
between the Banjo minner catching fish shots Secret Weapon was
pretty
low key as well as Mesa Baits. Mesa may have been a little more vocal,
but
still not in your face. Rodney was in your face for months. I do not
see
how it would be much better than dropshot fishing with shaking, which is
pretty much what the thing does. Me, who is not one of the better LMB
fisherman, still catches most of my fish on the Drop Shot. Spinner
baits
are not my strong point, but I think I know why after a session with a
local
pro. Me: To much splash, and figuring the spinner bait will get bit all
the
way back to the boat. He pitches the bait with near zero splash &
figures
if no bite in the first 5 cranks, rip it back to the boat and pitch
again.
