Rob, About 15 years ago or so a group of serious and honest anglers put together a monthly newsletter of reviews of field tested fishing tackle. I do not remember the name of this great publication. It accepted no ads and did not hesitate to knock products from even the biggest manufacturers. Apparently the manufacturers harassed the publisher (maybe threatening or starting lawsuits). The little guys involved could not cope with Goliath, so the next thing I knew apparently some tackle manufacturers organization took over the publication. At that point the credibility of the newsletter became laughable. I cancelled my subscription and I cannot imagine that this phoney publication survived.

It would be great if you started such a publication because you would do an honest and informative job, but if you do get good legal advice first.
