				Some Old Wood

Let start a new one - I need an old wood fix! 
 
Here a few hard to come by Lupo Darters.

Looks like Slip hit it close to the nose at $25.

		 I bought three of them for the the price of $20. Just changed the hooks over to vmc's and bang instant fish catching machine. 
I love them things. Got a  36" fish last week in the canal on one at slack.

"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.
