  14. New HUDD Rod

    in The Underground

    Posted

    With all the rods made, all the huddleston fish caught by dudes on so many different rods and then they drop a rod under the guise of "now you can finally have the perfect rod cuz no one has done it good enough yet". Just say you want to make some cash on some china rods with your name slapped on em. Why front like its something that is any different than other ish on the market. I guess the irod swimbait series wasnt up to the task :shock:

     

    I concur.

     

    Dare I say:

    jump the shark

     

    a term to describe a moment when something that was once great has reached a point where it will now decline in quality and popularity.

     

    Origin of this phrase comes from a Happy Days episode where the Fonz jumped a shark on waterskis. Thus was labeled the lowest point of the show.

    Of course I'm gonna back my buddy up when he is getting ish talked by none other then you.... your just mad that cam wouldn't build u a rod... does Ben know what u say about his rods behind his back??

     

    :lol: "None other than me"

    Have we had a beef in the past?

     

    I've never approached Cam to build me a rod.

     

    I've never once badmouthed Ben or his rods.

     

    Those two statements are outright lies and show more about you than you could imagine. If you are indeed associated with MOAM as your Instagram would lead us to believe, your behavior in this thread is a terrible representation.

     

    WOW so apparently only one person is allowed to make "swimbait rods"....

    Just the opposite, anybody is free to build whatever they like, however they like. There are always going to similarities, I just found it ironic that one of the biggest voices against copying is doing (IMO) just that. Further, I feel it's poor form to have a friend post a positive review under the guise of it being from an impartial source.

    Sorry...were you calling me an idiot? Wouldn't be the first time, just trying to clarify who's in the club.

     

    I'm pretty sure he's talking to me. :lol:

     

    A guy? It's Marbles aka Swimbo. He's a member here. :lol: And like I told him via Pm, I find it ironic that he was so passionate in his stance against any 3:16 copycats but now he makes custom rods that are suprisingly similar (IMO) to LDCs. :shock:

     

    You are an idiot.

     

    :lol:

    ...I thought weed was supposed to mellow you out.

     

     

    I'm chill. Just calling out people who're idiots.

     

    Let's review.

     

    My argument:

    Cam, aka Marbles aka Swimbo, a once regular-contributing member to this forum that was knowledgeable and respected by many, myself included and was outspoken against "copycat" baitmakers has started business custom wrapping rods (MOAM 5150) that, IMO, are surprisingly similar to Low Down Custom Rods. MOAM uses the same blank manufacturer as LDC, uses the same grip material and style (split-grip/flocked) as LDC, same reelseats as LDC, and the same micro- spiral-wrapped guides as LDC. You need look no further than MOAM's Instagram page to see the glaring similarities.

     

    I had a conversation in regard to this with Cam via PM's where we essentially agreed to disagree. One point I will make in Cam's defense is that he makes what the customer asks for, so, if the customer wants something that is LDC-like, than so be it.

     

    I would've (and should've) left this alone, but I found it suspicious that a member with 2 posts starts raving about how great MOAM sticks are.

     

    Let's not forget that this site was founded on the "put-up-or-shut-up" mentality and while I don't always agree with the hard-line stance of some, I can't help to speak up when a post is, IMO, as transparent as the OP's post was.

     

     

    ILIKEBIGBAITS' argument:

    I'm an idiot.

     

    Dan, you're obviously one of Cam's buddies and it is admirable that you came to his defense, I did the same for Ben, but you might want to try a different approach in the future if you expect to be taken seriously. Additionally, you may want to remove all the pictures of your "stash" from your Instagram page since there may come a time in your life when you regret it. :lol:
