I actually enjoy it. I am a life member, so only paid dues for one year and don't have to pay anymore. Got a free fishing reel, just a shimano sienna i think but still, free, and a free shimano rod, the rod was actually pretty nice. I enjoy the magazine, good articles and plenty of fishing tips. They do try to get you to join in some of their additional clubs like the books, $10 each, or the dvd's. actually liked the bass strategies hard cover book. But i didn't want anymore so one simple phone call was all it took to tell them i didn't want to be in the book or dvd clubs and the person was very polite on the phone. I get lots of fishing line and hooks. Ocassionaly get to test something. As long as you write a report on it and send it back in in time, you get to test more. And they usually get better. The magazine is not as good as BASS but, it's still an extra fishing resource. And I have never gotten a phone call from anyone trying to sell me something. The e-mails are great info, but if you don't want to recieve them all you have to do is tell them.
