Actually Scott, the intent of the original post sure sounded to me like a fly shop discredit... "... leave your wallet in the car when you go inside or it will be empty when you come out..." "... we need a thread not on alternative materials (which we sometimes have) but rather on things/materials you should never buy at a fly shop because there is a much better and cheaper alternative source..." ...I rest my case...;^) keep tyin'...byard
