Good point about the tubing rob. I talked to Steve Harner (maker of the ospreys) and he said if you re rig it with a metal tube, you have to put plastic tubing over the ends, or get frilled attachments to go on the ends or else it'll fray your line. Hopefully kettler will bring his digital camera over this afternoon and I'll post some pics on my re rigged ospreys and my trout plugs I've been making.

Matt- have you seen the Byron Velvick video? He uses the osprey to dimple the surface of the water, so it looks like a trout eating stuff off the surface. Might wanna give that a shot, it's worked really good for me.
