Here's the short version---I caught one guy registering multiple handles for the apparent (and only he knows his motives for sure) purpose of adding "weight of numbers" so to speak, in support of the effectiveness of Penetrators. I arranged for that one guy to be unable to register and post without going thru some hurdles in the future. Tim supported me in that. MarineTropical, who was NOT the person I caught, offered to let Tim and I try out the lures. And he and Tim (this is confirmed by Tim in the threads) have spoken about a banner sponsorship. But as Steve said, with all the server problems Tim has had, that's on hold until Tim tweaks things out.
And since none of us can read minds, Tim is giving him every benefit of the doubt on whether he's encouraging people to do what's been going on here, SOL and SS. Just as an aside, I've fished with gonefishing, and he seems like a straight shooter. He knows MT too, and says the lures are very effective. And that MT is a good guy and a straight shooter, too
What really turned me off was the way the Penetrator choir there trashed Ledgerunners, one of them saying they look like something you'd apply shoe polish with
And some of the idiotic claims about how their "unique" jighead, nothing more than a garden variety 1-1/2 oz bullet jighead, was the key to getting it down underneath blues.
None of these attacks and/or claims was made by marinetropical. It looks like a case of well-meaning friends trying to help out in a way that turned a lot of people off.
