Thanks for the kind replies, fellas. I agree there is awesome talent in our small community and I very much appreciate all the help I've received along the way. Without that, it would take years of trial and error to achieve the proficiency we can attain with a little coaching and study from our archives. Of course in spinnerbaits and jigs, I would be remiss not to mention DD aka Smalljaw and the help he has given me over the years. His counsel has been invaluable from technique to supplies and vendor information. Also, all the tips, technique, and inspiration we receive from our message boards and other media is instrumental in our tacklecrafting hobby. Thank you all for participating.
