Can't wait for those Macks.:)

Suprised Michaels didn't have it. It comes on a roll. You have to remove the cotton/fiber center before using. I heard K MArt and Wall Mart have it in the sowing/craft section.

You can buy it from Orvis on line or maybe Cabelas, but it is more expensive.

You can use tinsel as well. Just tie it to the hook and let some hang out the back.

Thanks.
I will check out the 'Marts.

I did buy some trim ribbon with a tinsel center that came out ok. I will post some pics when I get a chance.

Thanks again for the tips and tricks.

Too bad about the Mackerel fishing this year. Thankfully we had some great sea bass trips this year.

I saw a whole split smoked mackerel in a market near my house for $9.99....ONE MACKEREL!!!

Hope one day the mackerel fishing comes back like it was years ago but I doubt it.

They used to be so thick, you could go out for a half a day and catch all you want. We had a Spring and Winter run and they were big bostons....Now the past few years they have been small. no Spring runs and you have to stay ou there all day to fill the cooler.
