Customer Testimonial I purchased your Drift Fishing Ebook a couple weeks back, and on our first drift ever hooked into these 2 plus a few fryers!  The only thing that slowed us down was we ran out of fresh shad, and they wouldn’t touch anything else.  I guess the Catching Shad book is going to have be my next purchase. Thanks for the help! …. Vance Broussard
