Alex you don't need any help getting tog to bite your hook. You are always in the mix brother. Matter of fact I think you should fish with one hand to give the rest of us a chance!

Mine age naturally.
I haven't lost many sinkers this year.
Fished one of Sam's flat 12s for three trips.
Got another 12 that made it through two trips so far, dark gray and gnarly.
