I hear ya New Jack - I got mine about a week ago and I was pretty impressed -

Didn't get a chance to take 'em out and put 'em thru their paces until Wednesday at dusk, I wanted to see how they performed.

Went out front to ******* ***** and the water was perfect 3-4' swell, lotsa white water. And they do work as advertised - you can walk them, slash them or swim them.

Got 6 or 7 bass and a coupla blues - one bass actually straightened out the front VMC and came unpinned - it was getting dark and I finally couldn't see where the plug was going - but I could track it by watching the fish blow up on it as I walked it thru the white water. Niiiice....now I know what bassmaster was ravin' about.

Yup, they work - nice job, Bernzy

I had a ball with 'em -

They were absolutely nuts about the pogie pattern....

	"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
