Ray-I almost choked on my oatmeal! That was hilarious. I mean I have never looked in a catalog at fishing tackle and thought the tackle boxes come with lures already in them or boat ads and thought the incredible things in string bikinis came with the sale of the boat. Too funny. Life is hard for some......

I just had to go to Amazon and see for myself. Before I found the right review, I found this listed by one of the sellers.

Product Features

* FLIES DO NOT COME WITH BOX!!!!!
* THE FLIES DONT COME WITH THE BOX
* WHAT PART OF THE FLIES DONT COME WITH THE BOX DONT YOU UNDERSTAND


Amazon allows you to comment on the reviews. It's like looking at a slice of your favorite pie. Do you go for it.......... :lol: :lol:

I think wildman said it right... Who would look at a picture of a product as it is used, and assume that all of the contents are included.

This is like people who would go and buy a jewlery box (like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Megan-Jewelry-Box-0078611-Cherry/dp/B001S2ZMSY/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&s=jewelry&qid=1274822077&sr=8-9), and assume it comes with the jewlery pictured inside.

The Jewlery box people don't even have big CAPS writing saying the jewlery isn't included.... *?!?!?! .... it MUST be included!

Wow.
Fishing is the most wonderful thing I do in my life, barring some equally delightful unmentionables.

Sorry for the hijack, but this gets funnier. The person who thought it was a "a cheap plastic box with nothing in it", has a history of glowing reviews.

Me thinks they should do more IN STORE shopping, and back away from the keyboard. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

The more I read the more I think he might be an Amazonian Troll. They exist or so I've been told.
