    Those are some nice looking boolits. A good friend of my fathers taught me how to cast when I was 7 years old. That was 31 years ago and I have been hooked since the first good boolit hit the cotton towel He had me dropping them on. I am sure that you like the rest of us here will forever be smitten by the beauty of the silver stream.

    Best Wishes from the Boer Ranch,

    Doesn't matter what we think. What your shootin' irons think of them is what matters.
