SlabSlider and Hanr3 bring up very important points, too many people by them based on just price, or have them just to be legal. But there is so little warning when a life threatening situation will occur and at such time no price seems to high. The founder of Culprit Worm Company lost his life, at a young age, fishing by himself on the Kissimmee River. If I recall correctly they believe he slipped off his bass boat and hit head and drown. Hope this sad incident moves others to change their fishing habits as it has you.
