You get more strikes on the red, or the black?

Do you put a caramel on the end of the leader to keep 'em from spitting

It's never really mattered. While liquorice is a great cause ya don't have
to tie knots (just mash leader ends together, they'll stick for a while),
limp candy seems to degrade immediately upon contact with water. Go figure?
Flyz are another problem. Findin' liquorice sting small enuff to go through
the eye of a #18 parachute Adams has been some what problematic.

Not to worry though, I'm workin' with a very fine Angel-hair pasta,
presently. Of course, ya gotta cook it first and there is seldom a kitchen
wall to throw it at, to see that it is properly done, but I'm always willin'
to try new wayz of combinin' my favorite activities: eatin' and fishin'!
