Its going another huge step, but is there a way members could get a discount card to buy viva gear?
Not really Rumpus there are to few members here to warrant such a card but when the time comes a Card may very well be on the cards
There's been a few members allready who have benefited from discounts given on the viva gear if anyone is interested in the gear all they have to do is let me know & if there's a tackle shop in their area who stocks the gear I'll see what I can do about geting them a good discount.
The way I view it I'm giving that store a sale they never had.
Now there are Bargains to be gotten here in our Auction Forum & there's allways the high turnover stores like Amazon who sell @ very low prices but buying from them is not the same as from your traditional Bait & Tackle Store the guys in these stores generally have a much better knowledge of gear + generally will give their customers helpfull hints as well.
Now Viva are only a relatively new brand name in Australia & so far have not brought in alot of good quality stuff they were getting their feelers out & foot in the door so to speak.
Their new range of reels are very very nice I have been using a few for about 6 weeks now all their new better quality stuff cant be gotten @ places like Amazon & only a select few shops will be selling them.
When I'm finally allowed to show off some of the new gear I'll introduce then in the reviews forum, some here who've been out for a fish with me will vouch how nice the new spin reels are.
There's also a few guys here who have benefited in the whitegoods dept most recent was Christos with his camera when he went into the Good Guys @ Caringbah.
Nick down there will look after any of the members here price wise as long as you guys let either CATCH22 or myself know you're going down there & we'll let Nick know you're coming.
When I'm there next I'll also have a word with him in regards site support & that's when I'll seriously give some thought to getting members cards for the site once I've organised a few more Co's to support this site.

I don't mind a Viva logo either as it would possibly lower the price as jumpy said.
In a shop you'd pay 50/60 bucks for a shirt and it has brandname on it as well (ok shimano has a better rep, but who cares).
It may also be a way to show viva that we are willing to promote the brand and who knows what doors this could open in the future
Reason I threw that back into the equation Jack & the rest of you guys was very simple
It allows us to keep the price of shirts down in price & I figured if we can keep the price low enough then peeps will consider buying more than one shirt which in turn allows me a better buying price.
www.fishingozstyle.info will be the hi-light in big letters on the backs & the viva logo in much smaller letters say on one of the pockets
