North American Fishing Club????

Is anyone familiar with the North American Fishing Club? I received a
promotion in the mail which says for $1 a month I get membership which
includes a monthly magazine and periodic products to evaluate and keep.
Also they say they may "periodically" send a product like a book for
purchase if I decide to keep it.

Usually when something sounds too good to be true, it isn't true. They seem
to be offering a lot for $1 a month and somehow it just doesn't feel right.
Has anyone responded to this ad? This isn't the first time I've received
this promotion. Just wondering if it's worth it or not.

I'm an NAFC member and the magazine is not bad. You have to keep signing up
for the product test program, but that's easy enough to do.

The book deal sounds bad though. They sent out a book a couple years ago to
all their members asking us to either buy it or send it back. Most of us
did neither. They sent it to us unsolicted in the mail. I think they got
burned on that marketin attempt. Now it sounds like they are trying to
legitimaize that marketing ploy by having you agree to it when you join. I
would like to see the offer.

Great magazine if you live in the midwest. Sal****er articles were
slanted to the Atlantic.

The product evaluation thing...Well when I was a member (was with them
for like 5 years) I never got anything. So I question that.

The books. I got 5 or 6 of them unsolicited and never sent them back.
They were all pretty much not really worth the money plus they were all
geared tword fishing midwestern waters. Since I live in the Pacific
Northwest they were about as useful as teats on a boar hog.

My 2 cents worth...Save your money and buy a new reel.
