Location: Manitowoc, WI | Thanks for the reply, holy chocolate milk.
To relate a story: When I first met a gentleman named Ron Smart, who is an associate of Dave Storm's, he related a story to me involving a past member of a pro staff. This particular pro staffer had won a major bass event and, everyone assumed, when he got up on stage, he would relate tales of catching big fish with Storm lures. To everyone's surprise, he told all of trying to catch fish at that particular event with the Storm products but found another company's product to be more effective for that particular water. Ron went on to explain how important it was to him and to Dave to maintain the integrity of their product and to not embellish it with false statements. I do believe this same message has been passed down to all of our pro staff members and that they follow it to the letter.
Last spring, when I fished the first PWT at Wineconne, I went through a similar experience (except for the winning part!!) I had a good bite going in practice with Glass Shad Raps. I did catch some fish on the Deep KABOOM, but the Shad Raps, based on the water temp., forage available, and shallow conditions were the bait of choice. And I told all here about it. I got an email the next day from Dave congratualting me on a decent finish and thanking me for my honesty.
I choose to post these examples to show what types of individuals we are out there working for. I can also see how some would question the experiences of the pro staff. If anyone feels we are being less than honest about our usage of ANY product, I for one will be more than available to answer any questions. Feel free to ask but please do so in a manner that doesn't make it look like an attack on one's integrity. Thanks.

| Speaking of Dave's lures - there will be a special at the Green Bay sports show this weekend. Buy 4 Kabooms at any of the retailers selling them and you can come see me at the Midstate Marine booth to pick up a free Kaboom. I'll be wearing a Yar Craft shirt
