liftbite well there is some money to be made with them but you have to make lots and lots of them,but the most important thing is you have to be able to get rid of all the ones you make ha ha.I guess Ive been one of the lucky ones I do around 750,000 a year,not as many as the big guys but all I wont to do anyway.And yes it most certainly cuts away your fishing time.Im lucky to get to go 5 or 6 times a year now, but I do enjoy making tackle so guess I will keep sling the lead and tying them up.
