[QUOTE="Still_Learnin', post: 97735, member: 1704"] I just don't let it bother me that much. Whether it's watching an outdoor show or reading articles in a magazine, every "professional" angler or TV personality is going to have sponsors that they have to keep happy. To do that, they have to try to "sell" you on the idea of buying those products. If we ALL stopped watching these shows, it wouldn't change anything. It's simply how bills are paid. As for how I deal with watching/reading this stuff with all of the promotional product placement, I just try to read between the lines. For example, if some TV show has them hammering the fish on Rapala Shadow Rap (all the rage lately;:;blahblah) I focus less on the thought of needing that particular bait and instead focus on the fact that I can use similar lures from companies that I like to catch them under those conditions. But mostly, I just don't let that crap bug me. I care more about wondering when I'll go fishing next. [/QUOTE]
