his name is frank d and he bad mouths plug builders, sayin theyre all just copy cats on some other site. makin me feel bad sayin the stuff i made is just copied. ive never copied a plug. ive made my own species of pencils and dannys and they are definitly not copies. ide like to see what hes made, like to see what he made when he was my age. ide like to see what he could put out if i put him down the basement, see if he couldnt copy a plug design. how many unused working desgins can there be after i dont know how many years of people buiding these things.:af: :mad: needed to vent somewhere.:mad:

tELL FD to go @#$% himself==hes still living & writing in the past

Your a good fishierman & plug builder, don,t take or lister to anyones chit /////////////////////

:smash:

U GO Clamma,,,,,if that's the same fd I know , he's so full of S*** ..he was told if he ever showed his face on this side of the bridge, he'd never make it back over the other way. Biggest bs'er there ever was......the dirty deed's he pulled here on the beaches are unreel, to bad someone doesn't write a book on every thing he pull, he'd b ruined.

Christian, he hasn't mentioned you personally. You do what you do and know what you know. No one can properly judge that. Be confident and ignore critism, you're a fine plug builder and you'll just get better. Be you and be happy. You're gonna be one of the greats.

Don't take it personally Christian. It is just a comment from a washed up old fisher who lives in the past and shoots dogs:af:

oh well !! go build something ...catch on it !!! and comeback and talk to me...My AYC plugs don't get water logged..small mind..Your right little Bro...Old People Suk !!!

Christian, don't let that old drunk make you feel bad. Keep on making all the plugs you want to. You are the future of our sport :)
You my friend, GET IT.

DONT even get me started on some narrow minded old fart!

Honey you probably have more class in your pinky than he has had in his whole life........


yeah some of his veiws and opinions really rile me but thats life I guess.......so go ahead we will let you vent.....just dont take it to heart!

I've heard about him...

He was a wannabe.

And now he's a wannabe has-been.

Ignore his crap, he's totally full of it.
I know alot of people who just want him to say something in person so they can throw him in the surf.

Christian, vent away!
And then, ignore him.
You will run circles around him, I think you have already lapped him ;)

And CS, that ain't a bad idea about that book, I know a few guys that could write several chapters, as do you, and you could too!

Will somebody tell me WTF "Intellectual Property Rights" are? (Is there a Liawyer in da house?) Chit, Stan Gibbs cuts the arse end of a broom handle back in the fortys, slams some red paint on the front, couple a screw eyes and some hooks, and that makes him a friggin' genious? Nothing against Mr. Gibbs, but, c'mon!

anyone got a link? I'd like to read it.

Thanks Karl

Man, that guy is a twit :mad:

Apparently because he wrote some books on crap people already knew he's somehow an expert on what catches and what dosen't.

He can blow...

you build a plug and catch fish . whose better than you ? Not FD !

dont let what anyone thinks about your plugs , you catch fish and enjoy building plugs . as long as your happy , proud and having fun screw everyone else .

Christian, what they said.

We are proud of you and your work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Christian, you keep doing what you're doing! You're going to be light years ahead of the guy. F him.

he sucks any way drunken old fart

Christian, The more forums I read, I find alot of these guys are self proclaimed know-it alls. Fact is most are full of crap. You have earned a lot of respect here on this site by some pretty respectable plug builders. Build on that!!

what he said
