my r&b spoons certainly have sharper edges then my pen-tacs that is for sure. i have new and old pen-tacs to compare them.

i cant say enough about r&b spoons. i bought a handful a couple years back when i ran out of silver rvrfshr's. the finish on them is great, i have been beating the hell out of one particular r&b spoon for a couple years and the finish still holding up great. i cant believe i havent lost it yet

i cant say that for my pen-tac's, a few of those are BEAT! looking. and they hardly get fished these days sense i bought r&b's.

i still fish my rvrfshr's 90% of the time though for everyday fishing and exploring new water in search of snags . only becuase i have a few hundred dollars worth. so i can afford to lose them.

but for those deeper holes, where i lose the feel of rvrfshr's i always grab my r&b's. the sharper edges really allow a person to feel the spoon work in deeper slower water. braid helps too
