As it turns out, Dan Kimmel and his Great Lakes Bass booth is right across the aisle from us so there's been a lot of traffic back and forth. The new upgrade to the X-worms has been well received by both the staff and customers alike. If you would like to support a worthy cause the MSU Bass Fishing Team is represented each day at the booth and they have an attractive T-shirt for only $12 which will help them finance their tournament events this year.

Yeah, tried selling one to a guy with a U of M hat on (it's for a good cause ya know, up and coming anglers and such) but it didn't fly.  Perhaps I'll try pitching your dye idea today.
