I don't have a problem with the shows having sponsorship, without it they wouldn't exist. I do object to the masking of one product to make it look like another. How stupid do they think fishos are?
It worked.Evinrude is being talked about. Toddy
Robson Green recently visited New Britain and fished with a good mate of mine, both deep water offshore and for Black Bass in the Kulu River. What you see on TV is what you get in real life. He's a guy that absolutely loves his fishing and gets very, very excited when he catches a fish. His casting ability is legendary in it's ineptness. He spent a lot of time picking lures out of the Jungle. He seemed very concerned when a local guide, Chris, donned goggles and dived for a fish stuck on a snag in "Crocodile Infested" waters.I enjoy his show and although he can be painful at least he's genuine.Paul from iFish is another who seems pretty genuine. Without Tackle World, Evinrude and his other major sponsors we wouldn't have his show to watch, and that would make Aussie fishing shows pretty scarce on free to air TV. The original ex-footy player was a legend and like him or hate him, he did a lot for rec fishing, yibbidy yibbada thank your mother for the rabbits, the current ex-footy player is showing how it's done when it comes to selling your yamaha or is it now evinrude name shimano at Big W every Humminbird used to be Lowrance opportunity. You do get to see a bit of fishing though.
The episode that you speak of with Black Bass was on last weekend , was a good laugh , good solid hook up and into the snags it went , break out lure retriever , man with goggles over the side he went , came up with not only the lure but fish still attached , need a good lure/fish retriever just like it
