Hey Gang,
I'm a NAFC lifetime member also. I collect the mags and some hard cover books, for my non-profit fishing program for kids, [url "http://www.bluegoosetours.org"]Blue Goose Tours[/url]. I think you are correct about the "novice" look of the magazines, but I think most mags appear simple to us "professionals" LOL. I use the materials as teaching aids for the "novices" we take fishing and they have the right info for that. They just try to get the basic info and of course any new ideas out to the public like anyone else does in their business.
Magazines for $12.00 a year can't come with free cars and Florida vacations. What do you get free from any other mag, they are in a for-profit business, unlike myself, and can't stay afloat if they give away the store.
I have field tested some stuff for them with good results. received many items free: hooks, lures, and suprisingly many spools of high quality fishing line, to list a few things.
Any, 12 bucks, what's the deal, I've seen guys spill that much on the bar [cool]
