  1. I'm a real newby here, but for what it's worth, have you ever tried Future Acrylic Floor Finish? I don't know how it might work in a commercial setting, but I've messed around with it with some good results. Again, if I'm off base please don't humiliate me too badly. JB
  2. I'm up here in Washington State, home of the steelhead and salmon, but my main fish is black bass, largemouth and smallmouth. I live less than 1/4 mile from Lake Whatcom, which is a 5000 acre lake. We have some nice largemouth lakes nearby as well.

    Ripp-offs!

    Hi, I'm new to this site, and just logged in. I haven't had the bad luck (actually no luck) in the lure industry, but I have had similar problems in my own job (banking). A few years ago, the bank had this big promotion called The Good Ideas Club. You submitted your 'Good Idea' to a committee and, if they liked it, the idea would be moved up the line, with the idea person getting the credit and possibly a bonus. I submitted a suggestion about putting ATMs in a van,creating a mobile ATM vehicle, possibly using the van at fairs, shows, concerts, etc that might not have ATM availability. I was called into the Vice President's office, where he said it was a great idea, but. . .then started talking to me in a manner like an adult trying to explain atomic fusion to a ten-year-old. He mentioned expense, maintenance, etc, but thanked me for my contribution and gave me a T-shirt. Two months later he takes a position with a larger bank and, in about another four months his picture hits the local newspaper in front of--an ATM-equipped van with the bank's name and logo plastered all over it. I feel that people with creative ideas are usually victimized by others with good business sense, but no creative abilities. The only vindication I have had is that he was put in charge of coming up with other ideas for the bank, and has been a total failure.
