was member for probably 5 yrs ,never got one thing to test,so i called,they told me it was random picked from subscriptions,i did get a free test pack of power worms afterwards,won big fish with them in a club tournament.only thing i got on a consistent basis was videos and books with a trial period to buy,usually they came in the mail on tues,friday i get the bill in the mail where it was charged to my credit card.one video i have looked like it was made in the early 80's.
I have been a Life Member since early '90's. I have not always registered to test products the last few years. Like most of you I got stuff at the wrong time of year or something I would never use. And yes, some of it was crappy. The only "big ticket" item I got but had to return unless I wanted to purchase was a mount for my trolling motor that was a remote control unit. As for items they send me out of the blue which I do not ask for, I keep it or send it back. And if I keep it I do not pay for it because I did not ask for it. That usually puts a stop to the "slamming".
I joined twice. The first time when I started fishing; I thought it may be cool to test products. They were junk and they didn't follow-up with any other things once I submitted my reviews.
I enjoy the magazine; they do come kind of intermittently. I get about 8 magazines a year. The thing I like about the magazines is they cover more than bass fishing. I joined again when they offered me a good deal and I quit getting bass master magazine.
I also enjoyed the books they sent (unsolicited). I would read through them and send them back. They quit sending them to you if you always send them back.
If you just get it for the magazine; I think it is a good deal. Articles are good and cover several species of fish.
I have no idea what is going on with my membership with NAFC. They told me that my original membership had been cancelled and would be replaced with a print magazine (as opposed to the digital they had me signed up for). Now it seems I have neither. Getting a tad ticked with these people.
On the upside, I have found a few of their hardback books at flea markets, etc and quite like those. If anyone has any that they'd like to sell for a couple of dollars each inbox me.
I'll keep you updated as to the status of my membership with this company.
