6234, Commercial.....maybe Infommercial Posted by CJ, Fri Oct-18-02 06:08 AM
Everyone at BWW was at Anglers at one point or another including myself. They even have a guy that worked for us over there now. As far as this thread becoming a commercial for BWW, I like the fact that people are excited about both shows. If I were not involved with either store, I'd definetly go to both shows, wife permitting, to see all the free information and new products. I think it is a great thing for our sport to have competitive stores, it helps to keep pricing down for the consumer and both shops are all about promoting our sport and helping anglers. I like having the ability to do shows like this. Believe me, these shows are a killer in terms of overhead and advertising. What makes them feasible is to help highlight anglers, such as Aaron, who have become stars from bass fishing and give them a forum to share their expertise to a local audience. This kind of spotlight can help to promote tournament fishing here in the West, making it easier for others in our area to make a career out of tournament fishing or to just learn some valuable information from a pro who fished the same waters we do now. As to Bass Weekly, I love what Jan is doing there and appreciate his contribution to the tournament fishing community. His show again helps to promote anglers and our sport as a whole to the mainstream. We'd love the chance to work with him, so keep listening.
