WHEN DID WESTERN BASS GET A SWIMBAIT SECTION!!!!!!

[bassdaddy]

I want say it's been around since the first week in November. It hasn't necessarily been on fire, but it is a viable alternative to the old stand-by site that seemed like it morphed into 3:16 Nation.

[TomAtkeson]

Daddy The Nation is now the mostly dead sea. The cheerleaders made their own site.

It's like the 3:16 crew suddenly went underground...

[Buzzbommer]

Give em' time and they will try to infiltrate and pirate the site. Let's hope this site is stronger than others as far as piracy goes. Last I heard, 'pirate's' were dealt with and banished as they ought to be. Beware WB, and be on the lookout...!!!

Buzz...you have to admit it was comical when immediately after the Nation made it clear they were going to take a stand against 3:16 spamming the crew posted a bait giveaway that just happened to coinside with the release of Mickey's latest creation and the temptation was just too much. The Nation moderators all jumped in and played because they wanted to win one of those baits. Those young 3:16 guys that hustle baits for Mickey are much more clever than those mods ever hope to be. To tell you the truth, I don't have a problem with it, but if I was a customer paying for advertising space on their site I would more than just a little pissed off.

You always have it all figured out Tree. I could try to explain this to you, but......

Oh by the way, I am pretty sure even the sponsors participated. No, I am certain they did.

[bassdaddy]

I didn't claim to have anything figured out, but Mickey and his crew definitely have the situation figured out and they're beating your rules like a garage sale tamborine.

Wasn't that one of your sponsors that posted on this thread? I noticed you didn't have anything to say to him. Just a suggestion, but maybe you should worry less about me and more about your paying customers.

While I was reading your post I was waiting for you to threaten to nuke my account, but then I remembered you're trying to flex on the wrong site.

Happy New Year, Justin

Happy New Year to you as well.

Reading this thread reminds me of why I asked for this section to be created. It was created a day or two later and I was amazed at the speed at which it happened. There are 3 other swimbait forums other than this one. One is extremely slow, one is extremely moderated and the other has an extremely large following to a particular swimbait manufacturer. Westernbass in my opinion is the most civil, user friendly and mature. What's up Tree, I got John making me some new baits.

Rich...I saw a picture of your collection of Hopkin's baits and I was absolutely amazed. Damn, what a nice set of tools
It was refreshing to see they have been fished...opposed to some/most of the collections that get posted that don't have a hint of hook-rash, much less teeth marks. Your innovative ideas and John's talent have made for some swimbaits that fish definitely have not seen.
Use them well.

Offduty dont be fooled. The underground site is moderated more heavily then any other. It is owned by that swimbait company and that custom rod company. If anybody says something bad about either of them, they get banned. That site is the most biased site with 1 adgenda, to sell those baits and those rods. The members are niave. There is a group of associates-puppets who work together and post to benefit those companies.

Wow that is too funny, When they started the site I asked who it belonged to and got blown off. It was not long after that the mods names were listed and now the only mod is nameless and the old named mods are not showing as mods anymore. I dont know what caused it but I have moved down the list from when I signed up also. I knew they were hardcore 3:16 guys as I remember how they would post on the Nation site. How did you come about this info, if you do not mind me asking. Feel free to pm if you need to. Kinda weird how when they started the site GGR used to post a bit and now when you look in the members section it shows he has not posted although he did disappear form the site pretty quick and lately has been posting at the nation.
