Ya know something...I dont even know what to say about this whole thing.We all, or from what i've seen in here,most of us,have joked about our wives or husbands, our friends, each other, Santa Claus, dogs, cats, the size of our pr...s, the weather, our dringking(or lack of drinhing) our bosses, our jobs, and most other things in our lives. But i bet none of us really mean what we say.Thats what makes it HUMOR.The ad is humorous for sure,no question about that,but definately not something i ,as a fisherman want to be associated with, to a non-fisher,or a child.
So let me finish with this, My panties are not in a knot,i wear briefs I'm not even that upset about the ad.I can roll with the punches, and be as crazy or even crazier than anyone on this board.I can take a joke, and i can dish em out just as fast, and when i'm wrong i will look you in the eyes and apologize sincerely from the heart.
It is MY opinion that the company shows poor taste in the use of a house pet of anykind, as a symbolic musky bait. We who have dogs, cats, rabbits and yes, even guinea pigs, love our pets dearly, and would never want them hurt in any way.Its MY opinion that any kind of lure would have gotten the point across just as well as the dog. When i first glanced at it, i didnt even know what they were selling.I have no doubt that St Croix rods are among the best on the market, but there are better out there, and they are the rods that I will use in the future.MY choice.
This is MY Opinion which i felt compelled to share with you.Sorry, it wont happen again on this subject at least, i garantee it.
Thank God, J.Bass is in hibernation.I'm sure his scatheing comments would have embarrassed me more than i already am.
