I read the BBZ book and it was boring. I dont even think I finished it. The video is another story. I borrowed a copy and I gotta say it was realy good. If Bill would make the same video using all of the popular baits it would be incredible. However he only uses the BBZ. I know its his bait and all, I'm just sayin :+ I dont know if I would pay $25 for it but I dont think you would be disapointed if you get it.
As for the 3:16 baits I think they set the standard for hard baits. They are expencive but not overpriced. I would recomend getting a few good proven baits as apossed to a bunch of cheap ones.
