SB: I have no idea why they do it that way. All three Bass has a welt raised on their skin where the 'hook' was injected. I'll try to remember to ask them but it's probaly based on the company that made the tags recommendation.

I went again today; 96 degrees--106 heat index, few clouds, wind off-n-on, and bright sunshine. No Bass hooked even though I had one bite. It surprised me because of where I was(different area, 9-10' of water in a cove)) and at first, I thought it was just a stump hang-up but when I went to lift it off of the stump, 'it' pulled back and then dropped the BB.

Yea, the paint jobs are worth the price as are the details in the body.
