Take another really hard close look at the bottom "throats" of the old and new(er) warts. Stare at both head on.

There's a difference one can see.

Does that difference really make a difference, differently from the differentiated difference?

All I know is that the Old School warts were flat out fish producing machines.

I have a few left that I'll fish in the Lake. I cherish those Warts and only break them out when I really *have* to catch a fish or twelve. Ask Supcoop about original wiggle warts.

As for the siwash, do what Drifter did. Bead chain to a siwash.

The big advantages of the single siwash are when you hook the coho and it does the death roll. The fish can roll all it wants to and all it's going to do is spin the bead chain. Also, once you get the slimer in a net, it's pretty easy to take out a single siwash from a messed up pile of net and coho, rather than a pair or a single treble that magically embeds itself in 14 strands of your net as the fish rolls around on the floor of your boat and/or bank. By the time you've busted out the pliers, your treble is bent to hell and gone and you've just lost an hour of life trying to free up the fire engine red coho that you were gonna release anyways! Just saying.....
