Still around,sorry I never made it up there this spring.Got permission in a new piece of land and there were a bunch of birds. Knew you were having problems at the your place with all the rain. Thought you had enough going on with out having to show me the land too.
I got mine right in Cortland at the factory store. I'm thinking about running the 20 lb. down to the ball and then using 14 lb from the ball to the lure. Then it's just a matter of setting your drag right, and useing a barrel swivel I can reel onto my spool.
Here's a link to their site.
