Default North American Fishing Club....Who's a member?

I received a brochure about them and it seems to be a good deal. If you are a member, is it what it seems to be? Is there any negatives about it?

Thanks!
Anthony

If you want to join a club, then join B.A.S.S


I never had any good experiences with NAFC. All they ever did to me was try to sell me stuff.

First off they bug the S%&# out of you on a regular basis. Buy this, buy this, if you buy this we'll send you this as an extra gift. Then they want you to become a lifetime member, god only knows how many calls I get about that- I discontinued my membership over a year ago. Still they send me little keychains and a order now while you still can letter. I received 2-3 things from them, most were not practical for my uses. I was even told I was being sent an ABU rod/reel combo after I joined- still waiting!!! My personal opinion I will not waste my time or money with them. 8)

I wouldn't use their magazine to line the bottom of a bird cage.

All I fish for is bass so a lot of the stuff they cover wouldn't be of any interest to me.

I tried it too. Bad mistake. They really try and get you with the hardbound books they send you. Just lots of empty promises in my opinion.

Ain't it the truth Rebbasser!

Even though I took a 10 year hiatus from serious bass fishing while I raced cars, I renewed my subscription every year so that I could keep up with what was going on in the bass fishing world.

Too much trash thats not about bass. Granted, if I were to go to Canada and fish for trout, then I might join (not likely).
The tackle that they send you is great, if you like new corks, weights and small hooks.

I started out running what they called the Hot Rod class but the last 6 years I was running dirt Late Models. Even with good sponsorship it got to where the costs were just more than I could afford. My son also ran karts during this time. That was also pretty expensive as well.

For the folks that think bass fishing is expensive, check this out:

An all aluminum race motor cost a little more than a new 21 foot Ranger fully rigged. Most people who are serious about it have 3 motors like that. A fully equipped hauler cost as much as 2 new 21 foot Rangers! Your tire/wheel bill will run about $6,000 a year. Add in your travel expenses, entry fees, hotels, etc., it can be a bit overwhelming.

As the old saying goes...."If you want to make a small fortune in racing make sure you start with a big one."
