I have seen much worse post pushing jigs that many here just jumped at the chance to say how great they looked.

My jigs are in question here, but I didn't ask him or anyone to post about them and I don't see a real problem as sales here are not at the root of this post.

I didn't see any advertising nor did I see prices or anyone asking how much. Come on guys this is not all that bad.

So move on and let it go.

Skip, I agree and dissagree. This is a direct as a result of a sale. It was very much innappropriate. Had this comment been as a result of a picture posted and not a jig that was sold to him I might have thought different. No there was no advertising directly. BUT, you do sell jigs, and when someone brags about one that you sold him that is in a way advertising. Like when Tiger woods wears nike shirts. If all this is kept to a minimum there would be no complaints. And there is advertising in every post that you make due to the link of your web site. I think that anything related to your sales does not belong in a jig tying/making forum. Yes, I do know that you are a sponsor. I do not have any problems with it or any posts that you do so don't get me wrong. I keep in mind the countless newbie tiers that you are the first to help out. That makes a huge difference in my eyes.
There are some that seem to lately be indirectly selling items of theirs or their buddies.
Please no one say then don't read the topic if I don't want to see this. When a read a topic that states "this is a great lure" then thinking I am going to learn something I find out that this guy is showing a lure that he got from his buddies shop and posting a link. At times it is a little aggrevating.
Please don't take it personally skip, this was not meant toward you. Being a moderator and a jig salesman you will be caught up in this every time. Everyone has a right to his opinion, and it is just that - opinion.
