Thanks Rob.

Even with the clear coat issue, I have a feeling that this was a good buy. Looking at just about everything else that I've thrown in my tackle box, this is definately on the extreme end due to the size and action of this bait. It definately takes confidence throwing a big bait when everyone on shore gives you a funny look when you cast the bait near them and that big splash. Hopefully I'll have something to show for it soon.

I just want to make sure that this lure lasts me a long time and (cross my fingers) that I don't loose this to a rock pile or tree stump.

I'll try the Helmsman stuff this week and give it another try after watching Byron Velvick next weekend at the San Mateo Expo Center. I'm interested in seeing how he fishes the bait with the tank.

BTW, that was a nice fish you caught at Coyote last weekend. After that performance, I think everyone here is wondering how you fish the bait in these conditions.

Any interest in doing a detailed article or web video on how you were fishing the bait, conditions, etc for your website? I know I'd be interested and it would definately push the product at www.umaxco.com. I hope you're getting some sort of kick back for it. :D

Thanks again for your help Rob.
