I was on a group trip to La Paz in May with Jay Murakushi and friends a few years ago.
After a couple of days of not doing too well I was having dinner with some of the group in La Paz.
Jim Christensen, one of the best salt water fly fishers I know, asked me if I was doing OK.
I said it had not been that good for me, yet.
He asked if I had any Airheads? I said No.....he said he would give me one.
It was the middle size #1/0 in brown over white.
Next 3 days I landed about 15 Roosterfish on it, up to about 15 pounds.
Funny, other than having a little tippet on the front and the barb crushed down, it still looks like new.
**If you are going to the salt water I would throw in a few Airheads.......
