I tie my own for baitfishing.....reasoning....???? my choice of hooks ,line, and design....oops and cost!!!!!
I hate tying on the spot (but in a pinch and after doing many of them you become efficient). I usually tie like mad if I am chomping at the bit in the pre season....when I get to go fishing....they are all done!
would I buy them.....I really cant say.....I am an addict impulse buyer so....maybe....if it was in front of me and it seemed to fit my needs!!!!!!! But yes......I think quality and price would play a major factor.....
BTW....I just noticed your from Western MA......hey neighbor!
