Stand Out Hooks In This Month's Issue

C'mon, think about it... Look on page 62. I see Secret Weapon Lures made it
there too, but you didn't see all of us jumping on here to boast

No, but there was a whole thread on here started by Bob about the new Secret
Weapon bait coming out. Don't see much difference in the threads myself.

Actually, it was Bob LaLonde that started the whole thing about the new
Secret Weapon lure. Of the 19 posts in the thread, a mere two of them are
replies by actual members of the Secret Weapon "corporate" staff.

Now, had someone come on and said that they'd seen a new standout hook that
was really great looking, I wouldn't have any problem with Rodney replying
to the posts. BUT, this just isn't the case......

Sorry - I meant LaLonde and should have been more specific. Bob LaLonde - the
same one selling Secret Weapon Spinnerbaits on his site:

'Featured Monthly FREE LURES Contest For December 2004

Courtesy of Secret Weapon Lures

Write up your favorite tip trick or technique for fishing spinnerbaits and win
free lures from Secret Weapon Lures. All participants also have the
opportunity to buy one brand new design Secret Weapon Lures at the prostaff
discount price for a limited time in January. "

Rodney can be a real asshole and has proven it many times, but I think
everyone should be treated fairly.

Actually other than fishing with Joe once I have no real affiliation with
SWL. The contest from my view point is to promote my website. Of course if
it benefits Joe and Bob and the rest of the SWL crew and we mutually benefit
that doesn't bother me in the least. I have two other manufacturers that
have inquired about doing some kind of contest on the forums. I don't
directly sell SWL lures, and if somebody asks I either direct them locally
to Sportsman's Hide-A-Way or on-line to SWL's website.

On the other hand, I do agree that Rodney kinda gets the bums rush. He
reminds of a lot of other tinkers I know. Has ideas and works on them, but
isn't always the best person to promote themselves.

I also recall somebody else in the past commenting on nobody complaining
about promotional posts by accepted regulars, but raising a stinka bout
others. That was when I first started reading this newsgroup a couple years
ago. I stayed out of htat one because I didn't know the score then.

While I find it kinda pushy for someone who never posts about anything
else to post a commercial here, I expect it occasionally, and don't
really object to it. The only thing I ever objected to about Rodney's
posts was his AH attitude. He doesn't post here to try to sell stuff, he
is just trying to get everybody's goat.

I have no problem with your post although, as you say, you do benefit from the
contest as does Secret Weapon. I have never complained about commercial posts
here - as long as they are about fishing stuff I dont mind it.

I have been running a trivia contest on my site for several years and get a lot
of free stuff to give away. Don't think I have ever mentioned it or the stuff
sent to me for free until now, but my memory ain't that good.

I think it is ridiculous to jump on commercial post here when some may help
you out. If you don't like the post, go on to the next one, don't try to stir
up the stink. I sometimes get caught up in some of the silly post here but do
my best to ignore them.

Ok... but by NO means was I making any statement for SW. My opinions are
mine alone and are totally separate from anyone else.

But, look at the way RL comes in here. He knows that we have him kill-filed
so he changes his address in order to pass through our filters. We are doing
what we can to avoid him...

Secondly, he only comes in here to boast or brag about his accomplishments.
Never once do I recall an actual thread of his that has not lead to a
discussion of how he has revolutionized fishing and that his way is the only
way. Everyone else is stupid for not following his lead. That's what ticks
me off... I know I should learn to ignore it. I have in the past, and even
kill-filed him to maintain myself.

I'm sure that everyone here, AL included, has made some great
accomplishments too, but choose to keep them to themselves.

Merry Christmas to everyone, even RL. Let's try to end this thing here and
find some other way to deal with this Cabin Fever. Did you get any of the
ice and snow down there Ronnie? It's cold here... and isn't expected to
improve anytime soon.

No ice and snow, just cold. I have my first club tournament two weeks from
Sunday = gonna get out next week and check out the lake..

My smaller pond froze over this past week but was clear today. The bream hit
the floating fish food I threw out pretty good, so some fish are still active!

Cold there? BWAAAAhahahahaha. It was 24 degrees below 0 here Friday
morning. Cold there? Come on, tell the truth. Cold is when you have
ice cubes in your drink right? :}
