Was doin some surfing around on the net today looking into the name issue with the club and everything and one thing led to another when I was doing some google searches and started searching for some websites for some of the lures we all commonly use. Anyways ended up at michiganstingerspoons.com and it has Daves name on it and at the bottom so I assume he owns the site. Does that mean Dave owns michigan stinger spoons or what? If not why would he have that address? also when i click on where it says to go to official website it just keepbringing that page up so it must be the official page? I am confused by all this. Sure there is a simple answer could someone tell me what it is?

Thanks,

Andy

Not sure if this is the right answer but if you yahoooooo!!! michigan stinger spoons and go to that site it does not have Dave's bait on it but by clicking the link on dave's site it does. I can only assume since dave is a seller of the spoons that the link shows the name of the tackle shop you linked from. So if it was let just say BigKevBaitandTackle it would have his name at the bottom.

When you use a search engine it gives you all references to the search you are doing. Go to http://www.michiganstingerspoons.com/ this is the official web site.

Here is the correct answer. LOL. Dave purchased this name for the website(and obtained permission from stinger spoons as long as he linked it to mistinger.com) to sell spoons via the internet. Its a marketing strategy used by many people that sell on the internet. Its like buying the name NorthCoastAnglers.com. Nothing illegal just a clever way to get people to look at your site. So YES Dave does own MichiganStingerSpoons.com website.

Thanks for the replies. Iknew someone on here would know what the story was. Still not sure I understand as it seems like a bait and switch type deal since when you go to michiganstingerspoons.com and then click on the link to go to the official page it just brings that page back up giving the impression that you are on the official home page. Seems really odd to me but I am no computer/internet marketing wizard. Never questioned legality but since it was mentioned by BK i would throw out there that there is a difference between whats legal and whats ethical somtimes.

Thanks again for the quick replies.

On a different note it looks like the weather is going to let us get out again here shortly.

Have a good one.

Isn't capitalism great. Everyone in America is guilty of it Andy. Can't blame the Baitman for it. Besides its all good with Michigan Stinger so I believe it is very ethical. He obtained their permission even though it wasn't needed. Sound stand up to me. And yes the weather is gonna let us get out for a few more days here in Nov. Can't wait to get out. And while I'm venting, if anyone is out at night trolling be sure to keep your eyes open and pay attention. Almost lost two boards the other night cause someone couldn't veer to the north a little bit while we were making our turn. 390 square miles of lake and this guy had to keep that exact line he was following. Very curtious. Well now that I'm done venting have fun out there and catch some freakin pigs baby!!!!!

Andy,
I did have that set up to go to Stinger's website. This needs to be fixed. I don't want folks confused.
Thank you,
Dave
