The finish on these is so durable it's unbelievable.
If any of you who are doubters about the new product, feel free to call Al at (413) 786-3554 as he is very approachable and has no problem whatsoever explaining the design and quality of the new product.
Al doesn't watch the internet... so why not give him a call?

That's all well and good Bliz, but placing the hook for purpose of balance seems a little out of order to me but what do I know
I would think that balance can be achieved with lead weight after finding a belly hook position first. But if short strikes were only getting scales, then I guess that if that position solved that, then it must be good. There's always room for improvement, just because something worked 25 years ago, doesn't mean it has to be exactly the same now. It can be a good starting point though. I have no interest in calling Al on the phone, thanks anyway. Maybe I will get a chance to speak to him at the show on Friday.
Nobody will answer the 100 million dollar question of HOW MUCH?? so are they gonna cost 12 bucks or what?
