but of course! :beer:

I can honestly say I have purchased over 50 of these since I started fishing. There are many a tree with my traps still on them.

I am getting old, I think I put this in my top 10. :LOL2:

Yep Jim, you had it at #3.

I had this in my top 10 for sure.

I wish I'd have kept my list. I can't remember what I had or the order in which I had them. #-o

Yeah...I'm off on a few... #-o

But....my list is probably unintentionally based off of the fact that I grew up fishing from a canoe on a river. These are what I used (for the most part) all the time. Had I grown up fishing lakes from a boat....I'm sure it would have changed. Probably not any better though. :LOL2:

One of my all-time favorites. The larger sizes are absolutely wicked for catching bluefish in the Gulf and the smaller and ultralight versions are great for catching white bass.
