I have received one magazine and a boat load of junk mail. Still haven't found out real advantages to having a membership except for paper to start a fire with.

That's about all I got from it to!! And the paper is usually waxed and doesn't burn well!

I have been a life member of NAFC for 20 years.
The web site has upto date info from all around the country.
I can talk to weekend anglers and pros.
The mag has been up and down at times but is informative.
Through NAFC, I can go to any State and fish with a local.
I can get discounts on food and lodging.
I get some sweet deals from time to time on Tackle.

The real advantage to being with the NAFC is the members.

I have met folks that are like family to me.
We have a member that is fighting the cancer. She is single and doesn't have much money to spend.
She had never been out of Wisconsin. A member in Oregon said if she could get out there he would put her up and guide for Steelhead. Other members got together and sent her to Oregon for a week of fishing and Crabbing.
Another member made her a custom Steelhead rod and another sent out a reel.

Yes there have been folks unhappy about how the club works but most have been after the freebies.
I have had to send them a letter telling them not to send anything I did not order and they have not done it again.
I am proud to be a member of N.A.F.C.

No, I just can't do it....

I have been a life member of NAFC for 10 years and never had any problems. I received a nice rod and reel when I first joined along with a jacket. A Case fillet knife for free when I tested it a few years ago along with other things I have tested like a bunch of Owner hooks and 20 ball bearing swivels. Last year I got a nice Shimano Sahara 2500 reel for testing it. The last thing I tested was Berkley Pliers. I have never had any problems with NAFC. The thing is to always send in the Question sheet that was for testing the products they sent. Never junk it...They won't send you any more. I have met people that have received expensive rods, reels, depth finders, down-riggers etc. The Club works as long as you keep up with your obligations. You don't need to be a life member to benefit from the testing. I have never participated in the hunting or wood working clubs...Just fishing. I like it..No Problems... It has lot's of good information and discounts available to members. Good luck , Steve

I still have that Kistler rod they sent to me. Unused still in its plastic wrapper, since its a cranking rod and I don't fish for bass too much. Seems like a nice rod. But if I didn't get it for free, I'm not sure if I would have spent $250 MSRP for it.

Wanna trade it for my lamiglas Steelhead Spinning rod posted in classifieds? PM me if interested. thx!
