The Mustad KVD Duo Lock Snap is a quality product. Solid, dependable & very reasonably priced. And as a bonus - it's a product that the Wal-Mart usually stocks. A-Jay

Most Sensitive Co Polymer Out There? I'll say that each Type of line (Braid, Fluorocarbon & Nylon) have certain characteristics that are associated with it. As far as sensitivity goes - I don't find it to be much different brand to brand. Frankly I adhere to the belief that "sensitivity" is a Skill possessed by the angler more than a product of any part of one's tackle. In my experience, what does change quite a bit brand to brand and something that may be just as important (or perhaps even more) is knot strength, size vs. pound test ratio, abrasion resistance along with durability / longevity. The lines mentioned here all have a decent track record making them worth looking into and there are many others in this category that can & do work well. A-Jay

Agreed - I was aiming more for the slang / definition and use of the word; Disappointing & Ugly. And where's there's smoke there's usually fire, so something obviously happened. The aspect of this that is surprising to me revolves around the apparent "Outrage". I'm seeing headlines calling this "The Biggest Scandal in Sports History". Really ? ? ? ? Major Over Kill in my mind. Certainly provides plenty of fuel to energize next season's campaign. Will Probably end up making the Pats more $$$$ in the long run. A-Jay

Very Nice Congrats A-Jay

Hello and Welcome to Bass Resource ~ If you're not using an O-ring while wacky rigging, you might want t consider it. Seems to help with the baits longevity - It's not the cure all but you'll usually get better than one fish with one bait ratio. A-Jay

Nice work Boats. After reading your most in depth thread here, I felt this would add a little value. There is no doubt that I enjoy and allow myself to be persuaded by the fishing industries marketing & advertising efforts. And by & large most claims made have a fairly small amount of truth. But I'm OK with it in most cases knowing that there is no magic bullet and that any benefit I derive from a product is going to depend on my ability to utilize it's proper application & use. What you have described here, may be more in the way of Propaganda than Advertising, although these days the two are often hard to tell apart. Marketing Basics Marketing is a broad business function that involves the activities included in developing and communicating messages promising value to customers, clients and the community. It is much broader in scope than advertising, and also includes public relations and other forms of business communication with the public. Marketing processes often begin with market research to learn about the marketplace, which results in the development of marketing objectives, strategies, message formation and delivery. Advertising Basics As noted, advertising is more specific than marketing. A company's advertising plan is typically included within its marketing plan. Advertising is a paid message delivered through a mass medium that attempts to persuade the target market to learn about a brand, like it or go out and purchase it. It is the paid-for element of ad messages that separates them from public relations, which does not involve the purchase of media space and time. Propaganda Basics Propaganda is communication that promotes a particular idea or way of thinking. Its message can include facts or deception; in either case, its intent is to persuade the audience to buy in to the message-sender's point of view. As it relates to business, propaganda is more subtle. A company may participate in the delivery of a message that supports its purpose, but that does not directly reveal the business' involvement.
