Yes, because the "secret" is out and Yes, because he didn't try selling them sooner. He never want to sell castable ones because he is not much of a caster.

I give ALL the credit to the guy in Alabama, but Jerry says when he was with Osprey, Steve Harner built a castable version very similar to the Alabama rig, no leaders. Jerry wouldn't let him sell it, so now he is trying to play catch up.

Stripers?? What about a triple on bass at Clear Lake, or Bullards? YES???
