I just saw you were in troulbe on Allcoast by critisizing Avet reels.
Never ever critisize Avet reels in Avet land.

They worship Avet reels there.

A few years ago, I got bombarded with negative comments on Allcoast when I posted that I target 200 lbs plus tuna on jigs with small 3/0 or 4/0 reels with long rods. There are many experienced fishermen there and know about tackles very well, but it seems they are within their own circles.

Lol..... Speaking of Avet worshipers.... Try Bloodydecks.

BTw, I frequently criticized Avets....however, I so like some models.

They are very opinionated over there on the west coast. Two people in general started harassing me. I'm not one to back down so I responded in the same arrogant manner and that really pissed them off.

They didn't like being told how the cow ate the cabbage.

I had only posted about 15 times on that board in the past so they were all after the newbie. The thread was removed by the moderator.

I went back a few days later to find a thread started by the moderator about posting etiquette. This was done because of previous thread that was deleted. He did a really good job. I could tell he spent a lot of time writing his post. The thread was few days old when I found it. They were still talking about how they chased off the newbie. So, I made a very polite comment to the moderator about what a great job he did on his posting etiquette thread. I also mentioned that it didn't do any good as nobody was following his rules. That thread was then deleted in minutes.

I might send Gunsmoke an email to sign up on that board. He would be relentless. He's very opinionated himself and "He's never wrong".

Speaking of stirring up the Avet worshipers, some of the oldtimers may remember Earl's tell of the Avetites that he posted on Allcoast and the crap storm that followed?

It was very comical...

That was fun.

I remember it too, but I was just a lurker back then. The old Allcoast GOM board was the best, but it died pretty much after all the crap with Tex and Earl ran all the good folks off. I still visit the tackle forum though.

The tale of the avetites.... that one was a classic!!! Earl had no idea that the guys from Avet were of middle eastern descent....
Those guys are a little uptight about their avets.... dont cut them any slack Mr. Bill...

I wasn't going to mention the Avetites, boy that was a strange one! I thought they were going to close down the Gulf board over that one.
