Hard as nails nail polish works about as good and last about as long and is way cheaper.

I'm also interested in VS-10 upgrade's as I have 4 of them and I think they are one of the best reels made. My email add: callvern91@hotmail.com

I work in a floral shop and they use floral wire a lot, it's coated and doesn't cut the skirt nearly as bad, works for me.

They look very good. I love fishing swimbaits, I make a few myself but they don't look that good buuttt they catch fish & lots of them. Keep up the good work.

2X for me if I'm vertical I'd like to be fishin. Vern

Looks like a super grass or swim jig to me. ( niiiccceee jigs)

Dropshot and shakiehead jigs in the shadows with a heavy douse of JJ'S Magic. Works almost everytime.

If you want a super round reel check ebay every once in awhile for a pinnacle VS10, I have four of them and they are great and I got them real reasonable.

SWEET, enjoy your Skeeter they are a good boat and a good company. Vern

Hemlock is a soft wood and lite weight so if sealed well and use good hook hangers it should work fine.

I second that. Catch fish anywhere, anytime,anyplace.

John, can you give me a little demo on how you make your fins? Vern

Can you show how it's done or is it a trade secret? I have been making mine out of old plastic worms remelted and cut to form, they work but I'm looking for a better way or different way. I don't like doin the same-o same-o know what I mean. :-X Vern

did you make the swim bait? if so what did you use for the dorsal & tail fins? Vern

Greg Mangus: I've fished against him in tournaments and he can catch 5 # er's in a water puddle in the middle of NY city. just sick!!! Vern
