Reviews

In the years I fished with Rudy, the fifties and sixties, the man was utterly solar powered, seeming to draw enough energy from the sun to fish all day and all night ... without a doubt, one of the most effective saltwater plug fisherman I have ever seen, innovative as well as determined--he just never quit.
