If there was no paperwork with the package, it is probably a gift. Were these Wing-It bobbers? if so, I got the same package and it was a promo gift, not a field test. I have never recieved a field test item, so I am not familliar with the paperwork, but I would think that a field test item would come with an evaluation form or some sort of instructions on how to file your report.

That's strange there moose,about a month or so ago I recieved a fillet knife in the same manner.it just arrived one day ,no invoice,no explanation at all.So I've tucked it away,not even opened it yet,and am waiting for something as to why I recieved it.I,also,keep checking the past winners list of the giveaways to see if that may be the case.

Stgfish: Did you recieve 1 fillet knife or a set of 3 knives with a scissors and a cutting board in a case? I got the latter and it was a promo item, not a field test. Good thing, the knives were so dull they could barely slice cold butter! About an hour's worth of work with a stone and steel got them to a usable point, but I am afraid that they won't hold and edge once I start using them. They were free, and I guess I got what I paid for! Tom Fishin' fool in NE Illinois |

I recevied a filet knife about a year ago (or longer; not quite sure) to test. Luckily it was sharp ( VERY SHARP), because if it wasn't that wouldn't have been a good product for me to test. Tom, thats pretty lucky to get a free set of knives. Even though they weren't sharp its still free. |

Oh, I guess I should've mentioned. I've tested two products so far and with it you will receive a yellow (at least thats what color it was when I tested both my products) piece of paper. You fill in the bubbles, and answer a couple of questions along the lines of "did you like this product" and " is there any way to improve this product." |

I finally got a feild test item after about 16 months of Life membership. There was no club paperwork with it. The evaluation form was part of a notification email I recieved about 3 weeks prior to the merchandise arriving. Despite my best efforts, that email got lost in the ether and it took 2 tries to get Member services to send me a duplicate!
I believe the knife set I got from the club was a premium for taking an initial 3 year membership. These premiums change like the weather in Chicago, so don't count on it. I didn't join this club for the freebies, I initially joined for the magazine and the members in these forums convinced me by their activity to become a life member. Tom Fishin' fool in N.E.

The bobbers and fishing line I received were a gift along with a copy of the first book in the anglers libary. The second book I received with the test product which was the fillet knife. |

If a book was part of the package, I doubt it is a field test. I have never heard of two unrelated products being part of a field test, and field test items are usually identified as such and preceded by an email. Tom |
