CohoAngler,


Oh I read that hook review in SSJ, it was worthless. I can't remember reading a product review recently in any fishing magazine that wasn't 100% positive. I won't be any company's whore, that is unless I really think their product is da' BOMB. I'd rather pay out of pocket for the best, then settle for some product because it was free.

I did pitch the idea to SSJ a while back to do a write up on the home line tests. I initially got some interested feedback, but then the idea was dropped. It might have been from my inexperience at writing magazine queries, or maybe it was just to unflattering to too many advertisers. It really could be my inexperience. Writing on the internet is easy, but sending in stuff for real ink and paper makes me feel as insecure as a fat 13 year old girl.

I did hear thru the grapevine that Nick might be interested in the line tests. I think fear of rejection has kept me from sending him an email about it. I need to have a few beers and just get 'er done.

I'd even love to do a short article on how to set up your own testing set up. Can be done, with results really closely matching equipment costing thousands, for under $50. I might be the only nerd though who would be interested in it. I think that would account for 1 additional magazine sale.
