Yeah it’s none of JC’s or my business but I have seen two posts disappear on CDC that I was really interested in. This is an issue, to me, because they were pretty cool reads until somebody decided to play “Big Brother” and delete them. It really can’t be discussed there but it can be discussed here.
The first one was really funny; Started as a post in the DIY plastic forum with snakeriver’s brainstorming idea with attaching a spinner to a jig. Ship came out singing thnx and praises for snake’s new CONCEPT jig!!! Even after RD pointed out that the Brewer’s slider jig had been around for awhile. It was hilarious – ship acted like RD farted in church – RD had to clarify the point, twice. And the response was “Yeah they look similar”.
I do something also similar and call it belly spinner style. But I also credited the style to a very good friend of mine that wanted me to tye something like Brewer slider jig. I had posted that about 2 years ago – think it was called Proto type jigs……
I honestly think that Bob thought he had a great idea but there were two glitches;
Brewer’s slider had been out for awhile and there is a fly pattern (can’t remember the name) using the belly spinner. Ship was the one that was proclaiming and selling the emergence of the new concept.
The last I read of that post was Bob acknowledging the fact that there was something out there before his idea. It wasn’t snakeriver laying claim to being the originator. Don’t understand why that post went away????? The related post in the tying forum started by ship, Roadrunner alternative, is still up - hurry and check it out before it gets deleted.
The second post that went missing is an all time classic and demonstrates the atypical behavior of the egomaniac moderator. The post was by Rev Toby and he was giving kudos to his recent purchase of a new vise. The problem is the vise wasn’t a Dan-vise, Peak, or a Nor vise. These are the only vises that skippy has any knowledge of so they have to be top of the line. Sad little man doesn’t understand that there are a lot better quality vises out there than what he is familiar with. The cost of the vise has nothing to do with the quality of vises!!! Six or seven years of tying qualifies him to be the in house expert on tying tools???? The discussion was and should have been about the new vise – the revamped Roto vise. People are tired of hearing about what skippy has or doesn’t have. He doesn’t tye flies but has to have all the saddles and capes – yeah one day…..
I would have liked to read about the new changes to the Roto because I have one of the older styles. Instead the post turns into a pissing contest – again – about how the “Quality guy” tyes with quality stuff only. The same old huff and puff about he tyes quality jigs that last 300 fish – it’s true – people tell him…….
So he knows everything, he is going to have the last word and then deletes the post. He says something or insinuates things and when cited/quoted on it denies the fact or accuses people of trying to put words into his mouth. And if you point out the facts – you are taking “pot shots” at him and CDC.
Anyway – some fun read for a Sunday. I know some are saying why worry? It’s me - hate to see the neophytes get kicked around…
The only thing we want to delete on JC is things kids can't read.

Rev's new roto-vise DID look like an impressive tool to me.
