Last weekend Iron Mike stopped by after going to the Flyfishing Show in Marlboro, MA - he picked up several books to add to his impressive colection, among which was Al Reinfelder's book "The Alou Bait Tail" published in 1969.

He was wondering if anyone had any info on the Bait Tail - I did a Google search and managed to find an old post for him on another site that said Ultimus had the patent and the molds, but I think Ultimus is out of business now.

Anybody know anything about the Bait Tail or the old Alou Eel? I told the Iron Man I'd check it out for him, since I'm sort of his...uhh...Internet interpreter.

Geez, ya know, we really gotta get the Iron Man online - maybe the world might be ready for him at last.
