Pretty cool ,do they come with Lat/Lons also? Do you use 10#,15,20, or ? leader material and is it flourocarbon?

By the way take your wife's pumps off, were you in the middle of something else?

You have to cut back on the pain pills Jeff. Your looking at my sons stocking feet.

Yes I did use 15,20,30 and no on the flourcorbon

I need to learn the knots before I start using it.

I am makiing extra tubes not the hole rigs its up to you to make the leaders.

Do you need one Jeff ?

Where do you buy your spectra Jeff?

I'm not bragging but my tube is 48". Just kidding Russ, the length is fine.

Looks great, is that foam on the hook end? I used 1/4" closed cell foam for the treble hooks to grab onto. Home Depot weather stripping was to soft and tore up real fast.

We need to talk about your snelling technique. The bait hook is suppose to face the other way. The first thing I do is snell a 10" piece of line on the bait hook with the tag end running down the hook(backwards snell). Add the treble then tie on a 48" main line with a swivel.

Thanks Mike

I could not find foam like you used this matting I used is a little harder to get the hook out but it works nice.
