Ear lobe weld...........now that's friggin funny. I think even Jeff would get a laugh out of that.

That being said....I'm happy that however Jeff wants to set up his rigs, and I do believe he's said they work for him, it's his call and he's the only one that has to live with it.

Also, I'll take a leupy any day of the week, because I like 'em just fine. Are there better out there? Sure, but with 30 years or so of using leupy's with zero failures and a hundred plus BG kills, I'm sticking with what works for me.

Now, back to the fly fishing...........
