Rob - Thanks for the usage information about the live trout softbait. I've been fishing from the bank the past 3 years so it is good to know about the ideal use for that bait. Hopefully I will get my little 11 foot tub onto the water in 2010. There are a couple 15+ foot visibility lakes near my house.

I'm looking forward to getting Matt's True Trout wet. I like the subtle "salmon" color and I like the idea of the semi-suspending slow sink bait.

I have to give a shout out to the guys at outdoorproshop for their quick shipping. I placed an order for Jerry's large Dirty Rat at about noon on Thursday and it was in my mailbox this afternoon. Not quite the overnight shipping you Cali guys have experienced from TW but pretty cool for being up in the PNW.
