llokkii Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Just read through this. I love it! Its definitely worth the read! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imagine_studios Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 That's a really cool magazine. The only critique would be the first two pages, the font is too fancy and the red color of the font makes it too difficult to read as it blends into the background image a little too much. Maybe it's my old eyes, but I had to skip those two pages. Other than that, it's nicely done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llokkii Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 I would agree with that. I had a really hard time reading the first two pages but I thought it was just my eyes. Other than that, there is a lot of cool information and photos in there. Inspiration by the bucketload! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Not bad at all (skimmed a few articles only). I agree with with the above and also think several (many) of the images need some photo shop work as the color is over saturated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) On the first page, it asks me to subscribe to the site. There was no option. Subscribe or don't see the mag. I don't think it's reasonable to force visitors to subscribe before they can browse the mag to see if it's of interest to them. So sayonara mag!

MuskyGary Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 I love it! It's free, so why not sign up? Love all the color patterns that help give you ideas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryF2858 Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) was anyone able to download the mag? gets almost to end and stops, and will not open, Edited March 7, 2015 by TerryF2858 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass100 Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 I agree with Bob. You will have to show me what you have before I give up my email. They don't even tell you what they are going to do with your email before you give it to them. You might be signing up for an E-mag and 1000 other things.

Salty's Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Cool magazine I skimmed it. Nice. Disappointed to see another scab site hawking the ability to sell non exciseable lures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 You guys don't have a junk email for this sort of stuff? I thought that was the norm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass100 Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 You guys don't have a junk email for this sort of stuff? I thought that was the norm. I don't need one because I treat my email like my phone #, social security #, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLT785 Posted March 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 It's my understanding the email is so they can send the magazine to you when it's released for publication and that's all. I was told the publisher was in contact with the admin of this blog to let them know he wasn't competing against the blog in know way, shape or form.

Jaw Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Would like to see a mobile version. I don't make it to a desktop much so guess I won't subscribe until it's made more accessible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kajay920 Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 I'm with BobP and Bass100. I wont even bother when I am asked for my information up front. Spam filters are only so good for a while then crap always works its way in. As for the "junk email" who has the time? i've got four or more legitimate ones to manage.

BobP Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 (edited) SLT785 - Thanks for the link without the forced join-up. I found the site interesting, especially for pike/musky guys. p.s. - why does the TU site insist on "auto correcting" the phrase popup (when used with a hyphen befure "up) to Plaster of Paris?

mark poulson Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 SLT785, When I bring up that link, a subscribe box opens, and I can't see the site without joining. Am I doing something wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLT785 Posted March 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 I posted earlier, as far as I know, they want your email just for sending the e-mag directly to you so you don't have to go out on the web to get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
