    I remember North Dakota, lived there for a few years. Beautiful place, friendly people, good paying jobs.
    Brutal winters, but you get use to it, summer was nice, a little short, seemed like winter was more or less 9 months of the year.
    I remember at work one day, I overheard someone say "summer is my favorite month".
    Pretty accurate

    Matt I like your whole approach to these fishin videos. Your kayak set up makes sense, your equiptment seems functional, and your instincts for where the fish are and what they're feeding on always feels sound; not only that, your commentary is calm and easy to listen to. Fishing should have a soothing component and not like the fisherman is on his 8th red bull. Thanks Matt

    Thanks for your response. I needed to hear that they last a long time. That makes it worth it to me.
    I did find Nikko's website and, yes, the shipping is a little cheaper and way cheaper if buy multiple items. It is the same shipping price for 1, 2, or 3 leech packs.
    It sounds like they are made of a similar material as the Z-Man floating plastic baits, what with the melting issue. I have a number of Z-Man plastics, so i am used to being careful with them. Did you know that Nikko now has a Black Aurora color and an Obsidian color for their leeche? The Obsidion is more of a deep black. Thanks for all your advice 🙂
