Really tired of these comments/postings.

Josh has decided to not sponsor crappie teams at this time. But Josh is a sponsor of this forum. I really don't understand you're need to do this policing and commenting, moderator or not. Frankly, it's insulting.
This stuff was given to me a as a field tester a year ago when it first came out. I did not like braid and would never have used it, but Josh said it was different so I tried it.
I've been fishing for 40+ years and crappie for 25+ years. I've tried most every line (and product) that has come out. Now I will not use any other line, sponsored or not. You might really like this line if you try it. There's nothing like it.

There is no marketing for a one man operation, the only way you will hear about a great product is from word of mouth from other forum members. This thread was started by a field tester that liked the product and was sharing his experiences.
THAT'S ALL THIS IS!!
Only thing it means is that you lose a bit of credibility when someone sponsors you. If it bothers you when people call you out on it, then I would suggest holding off on the sponsor talk. I for one, never look at anything a sponsored guy says with any thought. I actually ignore most of them. I look for regular guys who have no obligations to the company to give reviews. I actually even ignore the posts about companies that sponsor forums as well, unless I know the people doing the posts are regular guys who are being totally honest. If there is money in the equation, you will never get an honest opinion. That's just MY opinion of course. The last person you want to get information from is the person trying to sell you something (or working for the company).
