Is anyone on here a member of the NAFC? Preferably a fairly new member so that we can compare notes.

I'm interested in joining. How often do you get to test the products?

[ThreeLions]

Not very often at all from what I just picked up on their forum. I just got off the phone with them regarding my print version of the magazine. Had to jump through hoops to get my membership extended to include my promised seven print versions.

However, they were quick enough to send me an unsolicited copy of a 15 year old book for the bargain price of $7. Granted, you have the option to return it but there was no mention of that occurring when they wanted me to subscribe.

I don't think I will be renewing when my annual subscription does run out.

I was a charter member (I think) way back when and didn't renew. Pretty much for the reasons you mentioned.

You could have told me that three months ago!

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 had membership 10 years, never got first test product. No longer a member.

A scam from all I can tell. I sent the book back the day I got it after I looked online at all the negative feedback. I have received only one magazine.....I guess the free gifts are worth at least the 12 bucks I paid for the magazine.

RUN!!! I got almost all the books. They are a big scam. The test products were junk. Snelled worm hooks and snap swivels. Give me a break. Some of the hooks were broken when I got them. Oh yeah, don't use the line the send you either. It is garbage/defective. It is Trilene XT, but it snaps off lures when you cast.

I joined then years ago when I got back into fishing. I'll chime in and say it's mostly a scam too.

Yeh, I got some "lures". A couple of plastic worms and a pack of awful hooks.

Run,Forrest,Run!!!!
