I don't know if you are still looking for Mepp's comets but I was at my local Gander Mountain and they were stocked up with tons of them so I assume Mepps is still making them. Just wanted to give you the heads up. (I get a laugh every time I think about you throwing the white rooster tail... I just imagine some guy pulling up beside you asking you how you are doing and what you are fishing with and when he sees the rooster tail he replies "Man there aint no trout in these lakes!")
