When you first bought and re-introduced Pt Jude I was testing the Sea Scallop you gave me - if you remember it was out of that very first run you did and only weighed 1 1/4 oz - I was out at Taylor's Point on the Drive (not many people would recognize the place by that name anymore, I don't think, or know why it's called that, so I'm not spot burning) and ran into a blitz at false dawn.

There were 3 or 4 other guys there (you also know the usual suspects for that place and time of day) and they were pulling in one bluefish after another.

I put on the Sea Scallop and on my second cast picked up a fish and figured it was a good sized blue, surfed it into the rocks on a good wave to find a 12# bass attached to the tin. Not a wall hanger but a fine fish for the grill. And all the guys were looking at me and trying to figure out what the hell I was using

If I remember right, that was even before you had the packaging done.

So I figured if that tin could cull a bass out of a good sized pod of blues, there had to be something to it and you were going to have a winner on your hands if the word got out and guys caught on to it.

And if Habs himself liked 'em and used 'em at night too, you know they had to be good.

"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.
