Howard: Thank's for the reply. As to Texas, anywhere there's Bass, there will be some size of baby Bass there too. The 5" BB should be close to this spring's spawn in size. IMO, this make's the BB a "natural" as some bodies of water won't have crawdads, lizards, shad(none where I fish), frogs, etc. but all Bass-waters will have some smaller bass in them.

No, I'm lazy so I don't ever get an early morning start. I know I'm missing some opportuities at bigger Bass but I'm too old(66 last month) to change my ways----unless it's a new bait:P . And thank's for the head's-up on TW. I hadn't checked them for a day or two until your post. Btw, I noticed TW doesn't offer the "3 for $29.95" deal though.

Urban: I couldn't get a Huddleston in time for next week but you may be on to something there:-) . I can't tell from TW's description whether or not they can be ordered now......and do you know how much they weigh? I'm wondering if my 7.5' Extra Heavy Helium will handle them.
