I guess he forgot to tell you his real secret. Deadly Duo has been the tube he has had in his box for all these years. I have been at Pete's many a day when Bill has called to get more tubes. I guess it's best to promote a large company and then continue to receive baits from a local. I have used pete's tubes many times and love them, but they are hand-dipped so they are very thin, but still work great. If anybody is interested I can forward Pete's number on an email.
P.S. Bill has caught hundreds of bass over 10 mostly at castaic and Casitas. I think he is the ultimate big bait fisherman. wes
