Default P.T. Barnum was right

I can't believe I did it, not once but twice. BIG DUMMY me, I bought some
Money Minnows and Kevin Van Dam line & lure spray.


Money minnows didn't make it through catching a fish, the head where the
hook goes in tore within the first 3 casts. I bought two packs, one minnow
and the other bluegill. Maybe some glue would help me?



I bought the KVD line spray after watching a video while shopping at the BPS
in Harrisburg, PA on a recent trip. Says it'll make the cast 30% longer and
avoid line twists, I use 8 pound fluro on a 7' rod, I think I'm getting 40%
less now? I even wiped the line with a cloth to see if that would help. I
sprayed it on, left it overnight and now when I throw a lure it looks like
phone cord coming off.



On a side note, I woke up early Sunday and first fish was close to 7 pounds,
second thing caught was a snapping turtle about 20 inches across, luckily he
clawed the hook out for me.

I bought some to see if it will help make flourocarbon cast any
better. So far I can't see any difference.
