Promotional Staffs
A Promotional Staff member is basically someone who gets discounts on products for advertising them, using them, and doing all they can to help sell them. I think the Pro Staff or what many companies are going to now, Product Ambassadors, is a great thing for those who wish to support and promote a company or product, but I recommend promoting a product that you know well, and that you have used, and you know the staff or company well. Had I done my homework like I should have, I would not have accepted the Pro Staff offer.
I learned a major lesson from joining a Pro Staff, it's not for everyone and it's not what everyone thinks they are. I will be the first to admit that I am no "Pro fisherman" I still have a lot to learn. Now, Wade, Jim Sammons, Darkhorse, and many others on this board and OEX are Pros and they are worth ever penny to support. Sure the discounts are nice, but if it means lowering yourself, or sacrificing who you are and what you believe to be on a Pro Staff, then that's when it does not become worth it. Do your Homework as you would if you were applying for a job. Tight lines and Best Fishes to you all.

Another thread about this? If you feel so strongly, and have convictions, why don't you return the moken to feel free, instead of trying to sell it, and profit?
¡Hijo de la chingada!

Di spite most peoples beliefs 90%+ of kayak pro staff members do PAY for their boats. I happen to know this is the case for the FeelFree guys including Jimmy so I dont blame him for selling it.

username Siebler cleared it up, he didn't get a free kayak, my guess is that he paid way less than $950, and is still making a profit. Hey its a free country, good luck with that sale.  Tomorrow I am fishing J street Plastic navy.com style, anyone want to go? |

Jimmy,
You have always been one of the "nice" guys. But bashing a company, its products and staff after a couple months of trying to sell us on how great they are is bad form in my book. (some may say chicken shit... I will stick with bad form) I am sure any company that puts you on their "Team" would much rather have any and all negative issues dealt with in house. I could care less about the internal bickering, none of our business, not sure why you felt the need to post that information on a public forum. As far as the leak, looks like a simple fix. And it sounds like Feel Free is addressing it. ALL kayaks have some type of issue and room for improvement. And I am guessing they would want their pro staff to help in this regard. Props for your convictions, but posting them on BWE takes away some of the shine. PS Personally I don't really need the discounts, but would whore myself out in a minute to be on a "Pro-Staff". Are you listening OEX? Hobie? Ocean? Seeker? Daiwa? Owner? Seaguar? Lowrance? Kokatat? Sumo? Tady? Hodgman? Humminbird? Berkley Big Game? Power Pro? Spro? MegaBaits?  I think that about covers the companies I throw silly amounts of money at to play this game. (except for all those plastics, lures and terminal tackle) Oh and Buff can't forget the Buff, Maybe I need to have a beer and chat with my buddy Wade, That man seems to have this stuff down to a science.
