Lures? *Found something interesting - Chesapeake Bay Lures with a red
head and holographic foil body - very intriguing. *Bought some in the
blue back herring color scheme and read headed white translucent body.

They have a great selection of fly making materials too - very nicely
priced - extremely competitive with a lot of speciality shops and a
great selection. *Also picked up a new vise - 360 degree rotation and
numerous head angles - very nice vise for traveling and as a spare for
my bench vise.
