I know exactly how much money I got for the little article I had in STS. 0, big fat goose egg! I also know how much a regular writer get per article. I can tell you they dont do it for the money. They do it because they like to do it.

Bill's article on braid for fishing spoons was right on. Braid has its place. But Mono or copolymer works better for a lot of applications.

As for Bill,s tips section in STS. I can honestly say Ive tried some o his tips and evryone Ive tried has helped me in some way. I cant say that about alot of other stuff Ive read then tried.
