I like the "Cajun Thunders" after fishing with them for years on the Florida gulf coast they are usually found in the same area's as the Alameda's in the local Academy. They are a little expensive (always use the large weighted)but you don't seem to loose too many either

Some of the wal-marts in corpus and many of the local tackle shops along the coast carry them.

I found some 3 1/2" Alameda popping corks today at the San Marcos Super Wal-mart. $1.60 each! And TOO was right the pat. is stammped right on top! Thanks guys. Will be in Port Aransas next weekend from the 19th - 28th. Wish me luck and if anyone happens to be going down there during those times email me and maybe we can hook up. -DELRUS-

Got a wild hair and did the deed to an broken Alameda with the miter saw

now we need some one to cut open one of the knock offs so we can see what the difference is. I would do it but I don't have a saw that will work.

sweet!
