glock9mm15 Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 I was wondering if any one would be interested in sending a sample spinnerbait to me, I will test it out and send you back a detailed report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redg8r Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 Just a helpful tip there, but you might wanna get to know some of the community here a lil, before you ask for a handout. Maybe finish filling out your profile here so the members can see where your from & if theyd be interested in having a tester from your area. where & what do you fish for? etc. The makers would probably like to know that in advance. Enjoy the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celticav Posted September 20, 2003 Report Share Posted September 20, 2003 I see where you tried to get some freebies from another tackle building site too, wow... good luck, JIM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glock9mm15 Posted September 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 no, actually I was told to visit both sites for sample lures from people willing to give it a try and get honest feedback, i could care less if you send them to me, its just that if interested I will help out some people. If you have anything negative to say dont say it, I already have recieved at least $50 dollars worth of sample tackle and if I like the tackle, I buy some as well as give opinions and suggestions, its that simple.

Celticav Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 Whatever, I know a couple of professional fisherman with real sponsorships and they still pay cost for their lures. You list no creditials whatsoever as to why your opinion on lures or anything else that could be made and used should mean anything to us. I personally don't have a problem sending members my lures, I sent a bunch out to several TU members a few weeks ago; not because I wanted money or anything like that but because I value thier input and feedback. Good luck with your venture, I would rather not have your "business". JIM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper lures Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 If anyone here gave you 50$ worth of free tackle I'll eat my underware. Your just here looking to get some free lures. Most people here have "pro staffer's" who give them advise on thier baits. I kinda doubt your anyone important because serious fisherman know how to gain a sponsor and let's just say your not very good at approaching sponsor's.

chirmy Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 I would be curious as who was it who told you you could get free handouts here? Also, as an competitive fisherman who would read just about anything, I would be curious as to where you post your reviews and on what products? Last but not least, Celticav makes the seeker shad (my go to). Because of him and Fatratz and a few others on this site I will never put a store bought spinnerbait in my bag again. You might want to not upset them and perhaps get to know them a little bit. They are class acts and make THE best spinnerbaits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 Christmas is right around the corner and I need to think about gifts for the family. Anyone interested in sending me some free lures???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gr8flyz Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 Chirmy, I'm the one who directed him to this site and a few others. He sent me an email request for a sample spinnerbait. I basically told him the same things that you folks have said, however I did not direct him here simply for hand -outs, and told him if he had a sincere desire to test some tackle & make reports that perhaps someone here might be interested. I don't know anything about this fellow either, I would bet he's rather young. He seems to have an attitude problem and is a little rude. Maybe it's not intentional but he sure has a lot to learn about communicating with people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celticav Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 Its fine Gr8flys, thanks for directing any fisherman here for whatever reason, we are here for the benefit of our members and ourselves with information about tackle building and fishing. This post will be locked in the meanwhile, unless red or FFT minds, enough has been said on this subject, anyone intrested in contributing to glock's lure testing can feel free to PM him.
