just recieved a product to test --why would you send someone that lives in wisc. a crankbait to test in november???? kinda hard to fish a crankbait over the ice! why not wait and send me something i can try and test ice fishing and send the crankbaits south?

Probably wasnt a "product test". Did that crank bait come with a book Bass strategies or something? If it did, then it wasnt a product test. Real product test come with an e-mail notification.

it was a product test. so now i'll have to wait for ice out to test it.

sounds like the club........i've gotten sun screen and insect repellent in dec to test before. i remeber the crank bait that they gave me to test when i 1st. joined many many years ago. i got it as the ice formed on the lakes in mi.. i waited till the ice started ta break up. went to the 1st open water of the year. made several short cast to see how the action was. i like the way it look and acted. on like the 6th or 7th cast i had a pike hit and take the lure from me.
