Hi Guys,

Just a quick note that if you meet a guy by the name of John Badenhorst who make a Fly/lure called a flure, be very careful! This man is a shark, he can talk his way around any corner, but is lying every step of the way.

I manufacture a fishing kayak called the Hunter Ski. I rented him 2 of my demo kayaks that was meant to be for a week. 2 and a half months later he comes up with a different excuse everyday why not to return them.

I dont believe ther is space in our fishing community for dodgy chance takers like this. We are people that enjoy nature and the purity of our sport. This kind of person taints our beliefs and breaks trust barriers that we can enjoy amongst fellow fisherman.:swear:swear:swear

Cheers

Brian

Sounds like you need to make a theft case against this guy, let the cops handle him!

You right we do not need people like this in the fishing fartenity they give us a bad name!

Thanks Guys! I have taken steps and he will not get away with this, but I thought that we have the power of the net to let others know. At least it is a filtration system to get the skum out of our clean pond!

Hi there Brian!
I know him as well ..
First a 3 piece flyrod that I payed him for, and up till today (4 months later, no flyrod ... also paid him a deposit for a Kosibay fishing trip, wich is also not going to happen anymore ...and I don't think we're gonna see any of the deposit back either ...

IL, could you give a description of this chap and what vehicle he drives. Folks like that usually use different names when the heat comes their way.
Don't want a description for some vigilante mission, just know out of experience with trying to track someone like that.

Hope lady Carma sorts him out................:uzi

LOL! He's a short fat guy that wore a sharks cap both times I met him. He drives a Nissan champ bakkie with a canopy. Apparently he fishes a murray park a lot. John Badenhorst is his supposed name, BEWARE!!!!!!

I know this guy very well! And he is trying to sell me two boats at the moment. 3m inflatables. One in blue and one in brown. I am glad I read this. Funny how the one is a demo model, the blue one and the brown his boat. P.M me if you need anything from my side.

I must just add, his products are really good. The Flures, they are revolutionizing certain aspects of fly fishing. And getting tons more fish than regular flies.

I am very disappointed to read this about a guy who I thought was sincere. Shows how careful one has to be. :(

I found this thread from my thread that I started here http://www.sealine.co.za/view_topic.php?id=28629&forum_id=4 . WOw what an eye opener.

He'll always be one step ahead now.

Which ever way this goes he will buy medicine.

It's a Karma thing like someone said.:fbash

Well his not that fake, he really makes the flures and really does work, but yes he is a DODGY man at heart!! And you are the 5th person i hear complaining about him, me included.
Ok so hear is my ID of him:
- Really Big talker.
- Loves Fishing Murray Park
- Always wears his Sharks Cap
- Fish mostly from a kayak with fly rod and Flures
- Car, Nissan Champ
- He goes by the name John

He heard of our competition and immediatley contacted Shawn and i, for more info, he said that he will sponsor some FLURES and we were well stoked, because this was one of our first sponsors, he was there and he did give the prize, he was a very big talker...Second comp he promised a TV Crew and also a fishing rod and reel, second comp came he wasnt there, at 11:00 he pitched up with a mate and at 12:00 he dissapeared...didnt see him again, next day phoned me telling he is really sorry about leaving so earl but he wasnt feeling to well, i imeddiatley deleted his name from all the sponsors and registrants, so that he wont bother us again at our comps...
After this i heard a few roomers, of missing kayaks etc...
