Scott Kelly Fish Hard, Fish Smart. If everyone focused on the important things in life, then there would be a shortage of fishing poles.

It ain't what they call you, it's what you answer to.... W.C.Fields I know a little about a lot of things but not a whole lot about anything....CGD

The way the wires are fed through the weight and not secure allows for the baits to come together and not stand out like they are suppose to. Dissapointed in AR...

Mann's has enough money to go after everyone if the patent goes through. Dobyns Rods Staff http://www.dobynsrods.com

I would like to follow up with this post. Russell sent replacement A-Rigs and they are GREAT. I am very pleased and thankful that you took pride In your work, understood my frustration and made it right. Thank you.

I got a call last week from Dave Nichols at Nichols lure Co. here in Jacksonville and he has a version of the rig now that is pretty sweet. made with stronger swivels and he used "Crimp Sleeves" on the wire instead of bending it and wrapping it around. Then the original A-rig people just made a deal Mann's bait Co. to go into mass production and packagiing because they couldnt keep up with the orders.
