never heard of it but seems as if it would work . i kno when i went to the beach i caught one in a cast net and it was abt 2 ft long so i kept it alive and caught a big ol shark off of it . weighed somewheres around 200 lb i didnt get it in needless to say. cant catch somethin that big on 20 lb test but i did get it up beside the peir. and gave all the people out there a lil lesson abt swimmin in the ocean lol
