As I know you know, there's a lot to confidence in what you fish with and expirence with your gear. I suspect both you and Cuttie do just fine. But . . . an egg tosser should NOT be calling my pet worms stinky. At least the worms don't turn your rod handle into a mess of pink goo that makes it look like you killed a racoon with it. And, my worms smell downright purty compared to a mess of dead fish guts.
