Default Pro Staffers

I notice that a few guys who had different pro staff affiliations on their signature blocks no longer have them listed. Just curious if it was a request of the board because of advertising requirements or just a personal decision of the members to remove them.

Probably because they get tired of the flack from some of the morons here.

Claudio Claudio Claudio,

What more can I say than that. If you know who I mean and what I mean ...

We all want to be somebody, and if you can't throw ball, or wrestle, or golf, how else is the average guy going to have a shot at being somebody if there was no "Pro Staff" designation??

Best part about being "Sponsored" for a boat, is you don't have to pay for it until the end of the season, and if you sell it like you tell your wife you will, and pay for the "tournament boat", next year you get the same deal all over and it NEVER COSTS YOU A CENT TO FISH!!!!!

Impeccable timing. I rest my case.

The Prostaff conundrum...never ends. There are many different types of "Prostaff". Some give and some take, some are all about the sport or companies they represent and some are all about "me".

Some people spend too much time worry about others

What is the issue with asking the question? I am not worried about anybody but If I had a question and someone on here represents the company it gives me the opportunity to ask someone who might have more informed information.

Thanks for providing no value in your response as I thought maybe you might have added some value as you definitely promoted certain companies in the past but now don't publically represent them on this forum any longer.

As usual a reasonable question gets 10 idiotic responses

You took my post all wrong, was not directed towards you at all. Although looking back I can see how my reply could be considered snarky.

Not sure why some guys have removed things, I know that the site is sensitive about nonsponsor promotion and these things have been removed by admin.

The guys I know who have sponsors are promoting those companies that are forum sponsors.

Could also be the guys are no longer associated with the companies they were promoting. I was told by admin to remove certain sponsors as they were not "paying sponsors" which is entirely fair.

My comment was more about the "types" of Prostaff.

Thanks for the follow up Lefty. I may have come across a little defensive as well.

all good
