believe it or not I still have only had 1 cast at a fish with them due to being busy with customers...cant complain about that though...I still have my new 9wt and the crab bomb resting for about 2 months I think...also I am down to 1 crab for myself...the others slowly found homes but I kept the best one...I hope to fish myself again next week...tarpon will be here any day so I must be very careful because they will take it no problem
