Ok you can talk ugly if you want but his rods are the best I have found in the white ice series and their service is next to none if you do ever have a problem. Now the reels leave a little to be desired.

I am betting a lot of these dustups that we as fans blow out of proportion are probably sqaushed the same day they happen over a cold bee and a few minutes of discussing.


KVD has been on Ike's YouTube show, Ike Live, a few times. They seem to respect each other and get along just fine. It is like Hackney said this weekend, they are all friends off the water and rivals on the water.

They aren't all friends.....that I know for a fact. Sure some of it is a publicity stunt but there is a lot of stuff that is as genuine as it appears. They all run in small clicks and stick to their circle. Duckett and Rojas are the two most hated pros on tour.

I really like the show. The downfall of every "reality" show that I can remember is the show producers think they have to create drama, conflict between participants, and introduce new controversial characters. It happened on Swamp People, Storage Wars, Pawn Stars, and even Deadliest Catch. They have a good thing going that stands on its own. I hope they keep it that way. I think, as it sits, it is the most entertaining fishing show on television. Jmo

Not alot different than your nightly news media
If they can show controversy, they get their ratings up because nosey bodies want to see what happens and give their .02 and keep it going
Ratings go up advertising dollars go up more money in their pockets

The ones who in the end pay all of them are those who purchase the goods advertised on the soap operas we are watching whether wrestling or fishing or some other form of entertainment, yep that'd be us fishermen

I dont care for Ducket cause I was about to buy one of his so called signature rods and there on the sticker was MADE IN CHINA, at least it could have said assembled in USA or something and I know there are lots of others
plus I have fallen into the media trap regarding some of his shenanigans
That said
I dont care for the temper tantrums that BL shows when he breaks a rod over his knee or tosses a $300+ set up in the lake just because he missed a fish, Haven't seen him do it in a while other than his rant two weeks ago but dont care for the tantrums Ike used to throw.
What's that teach our kids and grandkids

Hopefully no one is relying on a tv show or sports figure to teach their kids anything. In reading all of this, it kind of holds true to all fishing shows and celebs. They are not on tv to teach you anything, they are on there to sell you everything. I read a lot of posts on here that state you don't see so and so using that so it isn't any good. Looks to me like the shows are very successful at what they are intended to do, sell you a product. Look at facebook with all of the what they call pro staffers, now that's the funniest marketing. There isn't a post on there of what they caught and they always identify what they use like
Caught this using whatever bait, on my whatever rod using whatever reel with whatever line wearing whatever sunscreen in whatever boat with whatever motor wearing whatever shirt and whatever sunglasses and it just keeps going.
This is used from the so called pros down to the everyday fisherman and what the worst thing is, that [censored] works on a lot of people. I see it on several forums as well. If anyone actually believes what they see on television, they deserve to have their money taken from them.

Love my Duckett rods.
Love my Duckett reels.
I could buy any brand I want and I choose these.

Now, lots of good points have been hit upon here. But I visit with Boyd, Gary, and several of them quite often. Don't be making too many negative judgments. Almost all of the MLF guys are great guys, great anglers, and together they make a great show. The latter often takes a lot of different angles and personalities to achieve.

Duckett strikes me as just a jerk. I don't know him, never met him.. but the times I have seen him interviewed, the MLF shows, etc. he just comes across extremely arrogant. Other than winning the classic on his home lake at the time..has he won any other Elite event?
I thought that all of the original 24 anglers on MLF were "investors" in the venture but I may be wrong about that. There are a couple of the original 24 that haven't come close to winning and with the points deal now to maintain the status within the group they are on the verge of being replaced some of the "Select" anglers. Jason Quinn, Timmy Horton, Alton Jones maybe.. bottom of the totem pole.

They keep showing the Points during the MLF shows I'm currently watching(and what I am assuming is current??- Harris chain) and there are def anglers that need to re-qualify to be "in" the upper league.

I think its like soccer overseas where they have the Premiere League and teams can be "relegated" to the lower leagues and have to gain enough points to make it back.

probably the only time I have ever compared bass fishing to soccer!! guess being stationed over there for 3 years I picked up on some stuff.


The way the points worked this year is the top two points earners from the Select Anglers moved to the Cup Series. That is Brent Chapman and Andy Montgomery. The bottom two points guys in the Cup Series got moved down to the Selects. That is Jason Quinn and Byron Velvick.
