Rosco, I bought a set of 11" Calcutta needlenose last year, about $18 or so

If you only need 'em once for a deep-hooked fish you'd rather release if you can, they're worth it

They did well last year both from the surf and the boat, virtually no rust

	"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
