Dave,
You're welcome, they are great tubes and the fact that Phoenix
makes them in different sizes can be pretty helpful. You will not be
disappointed in the quality. While you're at it, the Maverick (similar
to a Sweet Beaver) is pretty awesome. While field testing them, we had
an extremely finicky bite (early November) and I cut the big, center
'flappers' off and fished it like a crawfish. We caught some quality
fish with them. They use a little different salt with the Maverick than
with the tubes, I believe I was told it is 'flour salt' which has a
pretty fine grain to it. We did fish these side-by-side with some other
similar baits. Hope no one miscontrues this as an advertisement.....
:-)

Naw, just makes me more interested in trying tubes this summer. As
long as I'm sitting home with pneumonia, lets hear some comments about
how to fish heavy weeds/wood and slop with them. Please.

PS, I think I caught pneumonia standing outside practiceing flipping
with the new Curados. I love them :}
