Some things may seem over Kill but would rather not be under Gunned , You never know . Yes some of the other components work but for a Few Pennies why Skimp.
Over the Last Several Years HAB'S NEEDLEFISH Have Caught More "Confirmed" 30, 40, 50, and even 60 pound Striped Bass than any other Wooden Needlefish on the Market today. 2 Over 50lbs. and 1 Over 60lbs. in 2005 alone........... "HOOK UP WITH HAB'S" Your Best Bet For BIG BASS.....
You Have a good point CS,
That Monster fish Charlie Cinto pulled up while trolling wire line
Goo Goo eye, was not a wire tru plug with 3x split ring and the hooks I think were good old mustard,,,,,,,,that plug was a screw eye
