Is it Winter or interest?

Post by Reeltyme »

I have a habit after logging on, of checking who is on. I have noticed lately that we have quite a few "guests" cruising the site. This is GREAT! I hope it is a growing interest in this habit we have of collecting these turning things that hold line? :P Now if we just convince these interested parties that this is THE PLACE for all your collecting needs and join the "Club"!

We had 5 people sign up to participate today, which is kind of unusual but good news.

I know of one or two folks in Italy that were trying to connect with the Italian reel posted the other day. They didn't seem to understand what to do so I cut some red tape and connected them behind the scenes via PM/e-mail in the past hour or so.

Also, I'm curious if we can tell if any were from Canada as I did a tackle swap show in Bowmanville, ON today ( per a post I just updated in the Announcements section) and had ORCA brochures on the booth.

Hmm, no Italian addresses today. The new sign ups were much earlier in the day. Recent posts made by a Billy do seem to be from Canada. That's about it.

I just joined a few weeks ago because everywhere I went online to research a reel people kept referencing this site, so here I am.

Probably both! Hey, it never hurts to mention ORCA in conversation, whether you are emailing, or selling or buying on eBay. That's how I found out about ORCA and I'm hooked! :D

Cheers- Keith
