Nah Don he's pointin his gun at me with his cheap 2 year old potshots like yesterday's.
Since the potshots were public so will the reply be...
Flap if you only knew the time that was put into this project and the money it would close your mouth on the spot. No doubt you saw the blem I sent to George. If you did then you would have seen it is NOT the same as any Gibbs stuff currently and the lip style is copied off a 1950 swimmer which ANYONE with half a brain will tell you swims way better than any on the market today. I have tested EVERY single bottle swimmer on the market that I could ever find made. Each has it's own benefits and issues. MY swimmer is nothing like a current Gibbs swimmer in that it is weighted COMPLETELY different both in the tail weight and in the belly weight. ALSO I put squid eyes on it...which not a single time I have ever seen on another bottle swimmer. Yep I used almost the same profile..and converted it to the Fathead stuff too. I still don't see anyone doing anything like that either. So you can keep your comments to yourself on that one sir.
The pictures have ALL been deleted on the site. GONE. I will not ever post a picture in here again. Only in sponsors SPECIALS which none of these were. I only was posting the stuff because guys told me that they liked seeing the stuff. It's a glimpse of a world that not too many people EVER get to see. I don't mind sharing alot of stuff. The pictures respresent hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of hours of work. Funny I don't see any other guy posting stuff like this to give guys an insight on machines, plugs, how to's, tricks, or what it takes to bring this stuff to market. Cripes your bitchin about some stuff that isn't even for sale nor will it be either.
Like others have said this thread has turned into the Oprah show. Pretty friggin childish. I didn't bring it up about otw and what they make. I just pointed to the fact that they make big $$ and anyone who thinks they don't make big bucks on that stuff is pretty naive. If otw wanted to go film it then hey great but why not throw sb a bone at the same time. SB paid for the hall, sb guys run it, and John got bills to pay too so why not. Don't shoot the messenger I said already I wasn't going so it made no difference to me. Who cares like someone said earlier.
And Steve I got one final thing to say.... I really think you owe me a public apology for the potshots. If you had a problem with anything I did you sure know where to find me as does anyone else. I've got nothing else to say to you until I see an apology.
Take care I'm done here and won't be baited into anything else so save your shots for someone else too. I think you should grow up a little though and go to plugfest cuz everyone wants to see you and fart your beens too...
My life changes this week pal. For the good or the bad I won't know for a while and I'm on pins and needles every day til I do know...but I gotta say there's more important chit to worry about than this stoopid ass chit. Life's way too short.
See you guys.
