Basser087 Caught Red Handed.....

Well I did a little researching with the Veritcle Lures company and asked them if John G. is on there sponsorship program and guess what he is. Looks like Mr. John has made everyone on the program think that he is promoting a product cause its that good well no he is just sponsored by them and I got a email from Veritcle lures saying so. Mr. G I think you should just confess up and not go advertising products for free on here. I don't really have a problem with you doing that but when you tell everyone nothing is in it for you that pisses me off. At least Fish On lets people know and stuff and doesn't lie. So what do you say? Maybe an apology to the board?

Better yet he sent with the same email address as on here.

Can I get a DOH?

Fishie · 01-22-06, 06:48 PM

He must be a owner?

Fishie · 01-22-06, 06:50 PM

Not going to buy from this guy

I am in the sponsorship program with over 400 other anglers. We don't get any free tackle and we aren't paid. That was what I was asked and I did not tell a lie. I can help anyone order products by pointing you in the right direction, website address, but you must buy from the company. Anyone can join there program but you aren't guaranteed anything 400 people are up for 2 positions and many more are sure to join in as well. In my first post I had said that I was in this program but not many people due that much research. Also, my company is called JJ Finesse Lures and we're located in Michigan. If I was going to advertise for free it would be for my own company so that I would benefit but that doesn't happen.

I for one, like and appreciate advertisements on new lures and tackle ... I don't mind seeing these self promoting plugs with website addresses so that I can go check them out.

But I would think to build a good reputation it would be prudent to actually advertise with whatever site you wish to get your name out there with. IE; talk to the website owners, pay a little $ and get a nice banner put up.

I check out all banners to see what stuff they are offering and I have made purchases at these websites. So maybe we will see JJ Finesse Lures up there soon ? Can't wait to check out what you have to offer.

If you took effense to me promoting the new lures without any kick backs from the company I am sorry. I hope that this clears everything up.
