Bassmaster gave me his big 10"er

[Mr. Sandman]

Dave,

Few guys today fish with and fewer still even make big wooden trolling plugs that can stand up to the riggers of trolling deep aournd here very well. The giant trolling pikes you sent me (and this giant "manzi minnow"!) are amazing and I know they will produce judging from my results I had last season. I have never seen anything quite like these. They are monsters. I am loaded for bear now both for on the beach and in the boat. I can't wait to troll these in my waters deep and slow.

(The owner 5/0 ST66 stinger trebles look like I could drag for dead bodies. I doubt they will open up!)

I want to show them to a few guys here but if I do I know they will pressure me to "loan" it to them.

They look great! I 'll stay in touch and let you know how they produce.

thanks again

jim
