Gulfvet91 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2014 I'm fairly new here and I just noticed I am rated as a Bait Fisherman. I hope I don't have to come up with a bunch of new patterns because I'm not that great of a tier. Most of what I tie is very utlitarian and very rarely pretty enough to be considered commercial at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shoebop 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2014 Don't worry about it. Just keep making posts. I always thought is was a bit demeaning but maybe it's a motivator to stick around so as to get rid of the moniker. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tidewaterfly 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2014 I think I'm an "Advanced Member" now, but I'm also still a bait fisherman sometimes too! Nothing wrong with that! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlaFly 0 Report post Posted October 18, 2014 Ditz.... 1397 posts and you still thought you had to pass a test???? :-) Maybe we could come up with a more accurate, but less demeaning moniker. How about "Newbie"? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
