The VMC's are in the latest Cabela's Saltwater catalogue which just arrived within the last week or so - and yes, VMC's have been my treble of choice for a while - they're tough to beat.

The live bait VMC may well be a new item this year - I'll see them first hand when Pete gets them in at the Saltwater Edge and let you know - I do a lot of eeling so I'm always looking for alternatives to the old bronze 9174's -

I also feel the Gami's are a little thick - but it hasn't presented any hook-set problems, they're plenty sticky.

I'll have to check out the Owners - thanks for the link
