Not too many. Just a couple if you are careful. It is really not that bad.

You have cats??? The dog like them too. Gives him a nice shiny coat.

Kevin, Thanks for the blessing.

Got any mackerel rods for these guys? 7.4 ft
30lb...handle a 12 oz sinker. stiff parabolic action. Longer grip for jigging. Gimble so the rod dosen't swivel around in the holder.

Blue green and silver metalic wraps!!!!

What do you think??

Thanks for the advice, I do not want to tie up 20 mac rigs, if all I need are a half dozen. When I jig up the spanish macs down south, the bluefish are sometimes in the mix!!! You can go thru a dozen rigs in a day of fishing, easy.

Leif,

I looked for the mylar tubing at Michaels and they don't have. Do you hav any suggestions where to buy? I have a bunch of tube rigs tied up and made some out of tinsel but I want to try to make the ones you describe.

Can't wait for those Macks.
