Thanks for the reply. Someone else said it got soft after exposure to water, did you observe that at all? The first link to my post was moved because I posted in the wrong section, so here is an updated link: https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=16508

California Delta. You could never fish every "bassy" spot in a lifetime. Every trip there to me feels like I am discovering a new lake.
