Yeah, none of this "tacky" after 3 seconds UV blasy Buggie Bond crap !

I gather some rather well heeled "serious" fly fisher type folks don't like all this Hank stuff - too close to the bone perhaps ? ! Not great when people can't have a laugh at themselves - same thing happened with the movie Spinal Tap. I can tell you having played in metal bands in my younger days ( when I had a 30 inch waistline and actually had hair  :X2 ) it IS like that.  :wink

Whilst I don't think this is Hank's best, I recognize the "type" only too well ! Oh well, guess I must be a "tourist" then !  :z7
