I've used them on occasion. Florida mostly. Used to get out on the main river channels on the Big G in the hot summer months and catch a few. Also used to take folks and find big dumb and let them pull one up. A 10-15lb+ puts up a good fight.

LUCK:::; When presistence, dedication, perspiration and preparation meet up with opportunity!!!
