One thing BBG has done for me is networking with these special bait tiers..........I've really added some panfish assassins to my arsenal the last few years......

Yep......thanks John.......that made it special.....we caught over 1,300 on Tabbert baits during the Abney Family Vacation in 2014..........with the Jelly Jigs topping the list.....
