Re: Countour trolling

Woody, The "Home Study" course is really all that you or I need. The "Home Study" course is better organized and is much easier to carry around and keep up with. The "Blue Book" as Fran calls it, is single page, memographed paper (remember that) about 3" or so thic...

Re: Spoonplug hooks

Woody, You can replace the hooks on the Spoonplugs with any good hooks...just match the size to the hook that you are replacing. May take a time or two to figure out the correct size.

Nick, The videos are on line at Vexilar at the address that Fran gave. Keep in mind the videos are not "Spoonplugging" videos; but do show the how the Vexilar units operate. I bought an FL-20, as per Fran's and John Bales' recommendation. I am well pleased with the unit; and when Fran or J...

Re: Newt Gingrich

Informative video. Mr. Gingrich is a noted Historian. We all would do well to learn and never forget the lessons of history.
