Bill-
Kind of what I was hoping, the debate part that is.
You're right, of course, anything that isn't bait
(organic food) is a lure, including flies. Just don't
know...having a hard time getting my head around
putting stuff like that on a fly. Don't get me wrong,
some of my best friends are gearheads, of course, I
wouldn't let my sister marry one (that's a joke, just
kidding, please don't flame me!) =:)
Waiting to hear more on this from all you VFBers out
there.
