Hey David,

I didn't see the primary material that is a must on your desk? Where were the beer bottles man?? And I mean empty beer bottles.....

Adam those are beauties! How are you going to get me one before I leave for the "Y" today? Actually, I think a dozen might do!

Adam, very nice flies! Definitely very buggy looking....

Darian -- here's two pictures of the offset hooks I was talking about. The first picture shows the offset. The second picture, taken of the side of the hook, shows the bend is perfectly horizontal. I sure hope I'm onto something here -- a Brain-Crippled Tap's Bug, ha. Do wish the wire was heavier, though, it's kind of fine for bass bugging....

Hi Mike - that would be a Tru-Turn hook , french in origin , and a pretty good hook for plastic worms despite its birthplace .

I used them for years before switching to fly gear . Make sure to hone those points , they are as dull as marbles out of the box . David

Hello everyone,.....

Adam,..... great looking flies. I gotta get a digital cam.

Mike,.... that hook is not the one I recall but will present an interesting problem for trimming the deer hair.

David,.... Please PM me with your mailing address. I put my E-mail note away in a place where I'm assured of never finding it again.... (it's HELL to get old :P ). Thanks

Hi Moose and b-community members,
Sorry I got to this forum a bit late. Anyway, just a quick note about the AK Vise situation. Jay and I were on the National Pro Demo Team for AK. An absolute great experience. The comment posted about the advertising budget wasn't accurate (though I'm sure in some "small" part it did have an affect). There was a much larger picture going on, which was taken care of in court. As Jay mentioned... we spent a great deal of time speaking to AK about the situation. The vises are fine designs, and in fact, AK has recently been asked to upgrade the design. Talks are in the works. It will be interesting to see what happens next.
With respect, Ken
