Smart to suppress the KastKing name from the thread title.

SPAM aside, I don't see $13 worth of tackle here, especially if the quality is unknown / questionable.

KastKing has had several FP deals in the past month.

Yes indeed, which looks pretty convincing on the surface.

But, every single one of those deal threads was started by an SD Staffer. That seems...odd. I wonder why no one from the user community is posting these deals?

Could it possibly be that KastKing is paying SD to post these deal threads, and possibly even artificially inflate the thumbs-up rating to lure users into thinking these are deals and not paid adverts? I'd like to explore that notion further, maybe you could help.

Thanks in advance.

It couldn't be ANY more obvious that staffers are shilling. I will NEVER buy anything kastking because I am so tired of staffers shilling their junk and then the obvious shill user comments.

If you want fishing deals, the bay of.fleas is where they are at....anything kastking won't be worth it if you stick with the sport.
