the buck tail coated with CCG/TuFFLYE   prevents the goat from wrapping/fowling around hook shank

nah, but i got the bug, I've had it actually, just so darn busy with work and my home stuff thats gotta get done. sandy destroyed my back yard and I'm just now finishing it up. I'm in my basement now with all my gear wishing I had went. I would love to give it a shot before the season ends. I haven't been down there in a year and a half  :( . told my wife I was gonna head down wed. she put the cabash on that cause she's gotta go get my daughter from college so I gotta put my kid on the bus. :-[
30 minutes ago I was going thru my stuff and had your needles in my hand you sent me. real nice stuff. next year for sure I'm gonna fish hard again. I haven't even seen the damage the storm did down there.
