pete - hey, thanks for quoting me.

Sorry, wasnt trying to say anything personal toward the saltwater edge, really never heard of it? What town?
I will admit I use to be a spot slut at tackle shops along time ago, before the internet and field guides came out. I bought everything from the shops that put me on fish and ignored ones that failed. I still am loyal to those same shops today, even 15-20 years later, and buy almost all my gear there. I dunno.
