I just want to thank everyone for there input , it all helps. After this little survey I have decided to move forward on the float deal. Already found a supplier of the good closed cell foam, he is shipping me samples of it so I can move forward with production. Hope to have them out by June 1, that is a push but will see if we can do it. Also I am going to try and do it for 1/2 of the retail price out there, the main thing is being able to get them without having to deal with canadian or u.s customs, which will mean there availibility in stores will be much greater.Doug I am the guy who calls on yeagers, will be in next week. Steve the wrap style do not have a slit in them until after you have fought a good fish or pulled on a hard snag. Keep the ideas coming Peace superfly
