I have no idea what she just said and I'm comforted by that fact.

Forget Berkman. I just read on the front page that Oswalt was traded.

I grew up throwing the Sprites with the treble hook, but I much prefer the single hook weedless, now.  Mostly gold, but also like the black spoons in real clear water.  My "go to," though has been the red and white cocahoe on a 1/4 oz. jighead for a long time now.  Seems to work best in all sorts of conditions.
