Each tester will receive a different "style" and will be posting their own threads in this area of the board detailing
"real time" information as they use the Rods they receive, and then will fill out questionnaire at the end of testing
and send it back to Acadia SportsŪ for their permanent records.

We thank these members for agreeing to participate in this testing, it is very important to Acadia SportsŪ and it is
very important to all fishermen who will be buying Acadia SportsŪ M series rods when the product is released.

Members Participating in this field test will be keeping the rods which they are testing, and as a "thanks" for their participation
in the testing, once the M Series is released, each tester who participated by posting real time information and filling out and
returning the questionnaire will be sent another rod, at no cost to them.

ALL WIF MEMBERS:
All active & participating members of the WIF family will be eligible for future field testing,
so keep an eye on how this is being done because Acadia is a fast growing company, producing some great gear,
so we anticipate that there will be many other tests coming up in the future.

Thanks to Lee for using WIF family members for this testing. It is a great thing that a manufacturer is going to use real
fishermen, under real conditions for input on the development of a product line.

It shows the dedication that Acadia SportsŪ has to the fishing community to produce the best possible equipment.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank each tester for agreeing to participate in
this test.

I know you will take these rods and really put them through the paces, and I know that you will "tell it like it is"
To me, that means that when I buy an M series rod from Acadia, it was tested by someone who took it out and fished it like I will.

Thanks !
Tim

Let us know how that new reel works out along with the rod

I have always used spinning reels, and I would not trade any of the Acadia spinning reels I own for anything, they are seriously excellent
