One of my motivations for posting the below mentioned thread was to kind of show everyone maybe why Ike is Ike.
Kind of obvious that negativity sells, wouldn't you agree?
Started this as a new thread because I thought it may get lost or not read in one of the originals, especially mine. Seems few care how to improve things rather just complaining seems to make some feel better.

I know the original thread was up longer but I'm thinking my thread isn't going to make up the difference of 832 visits in a 2 week time frame or 42 replies.
Now if you were a sponsor would you be happier getting your name in front of 1050 potential clients or 200 ?

I guess thier right, negativity SELLS!
Negative publicity is better than no publicity at all.
I would even venture to say, many of you even know his sponsors and don't know other's sponsors.
Look how many new lures are coming to market with Ike's name associated with them. Alot more than past years.
Ike has a good business plan that seems to work.

Oh and I didn't put Ike's name in my thread title intentionally. The mention of Ike's name draws ATTENTION. Isn't that the purpose of advertising?

Anyway, everyone have a great time fishing!
