Field Promotion Hype !!!!!
The guy that just wants to plunk down his hard earned cash doesn't want smoke blown you know where. I have attended several public fishing expo's. You know what I observed, the "pro's" in their go fast shirts chatting among themselves, mostly. The consumer public looked like they felt uncomfortable to approach these pro's and if they got the typical commercial message most likely wouldn't believe them anyway. Chad brings several good points to this post. But I do feel there is this misperception that the top "pro's are making big bucks, some are most aren't. I bet the pro's still in the game have a spouse that has a good job and keeps the cash flow moving. The fishing industry is going through a "necessary" correction. I might add a healthy correction. Perhaps we will return to truth on methods and equipment instead of the commercials we see hidden in today's outdoor writing. Sorry just my thoughts, perhaps won't count much as I am a guest
