That's pretty funny. Being the neo plugger I am, you can take or leave the following tip....last fall I was fishing at Cutty and it was extremely windy. Taking off my eel rig, I attached a brand new #^^^^^^^^^^^& needle. After about five casts I was having difficulty touching bottom and figured I'd put something heavier on. While removing the plug, I realized the tubular hook guards were still in place

and thus, I wasn't feeling or hooking the bottom, even with a long pause.
Seeing you cast primarily for exercise, why not just leave the hook guards on from now on? It works for me...besides, those works of yours are simply too nice to risk losing...
