I just got a set of 5' ones from Chris. I don't like to endorse stuff unless I beat it up a little first, but I wanted to say these spikes are lookin good!!

They're thick, the welds are cleaned up nice, and he dips the tops in heavy duty black rubberized plasti-kote so they don't scratch or abrade your rods.

They look like the work of a guy who spends a lot of time bait fishin and designed the spikes to minimize problems. I'll be using them soon, and give another report on them.

I know good construction when I see it, and these are put together with care. They appear to be sturdier than what's out there in the tackle shops. For the money he charges for them, IMO they would be hard to compare with ones you're buying from a store.

I'll post the pics when I get a chance. For now, I just wanted to give a big "thanks!" to Chris for the quality product he puts out.
