The Gamakatsu G Stingers work great for me off the lead eye- less tangles is a good thing but I used verticle jigs for fifteen years before Stingers ever came out and factory rigging worked just fine before.

In the legend of King Arthur, the Fisher King was a renowned angler whose errant ways caused him to be struck dumb in the presence of the sacred chalice. I am no great fisherman, and a steelhead is not the covenant of Christ, but with each of these fish I am rendered speechless.
