I run a lot of SR5s and 7s at WB. I have a bunch of SR8s and 9s, too, but don't use a much because I've never caught much on them. Anybody else use the larger sizes, and if so, how do they work for you?

I ran one today about 11-12 ft down in 14 to 15 ft of water. Nothing. I remember once when the lake was full we didn't catch anything until we put Thunderstick Juniors down 14 or more feet.

While on the subject of SRs, I have a bunch of old ones, 5s and 7s with the older bronze hooks I prefer the VMC black nickle round bend trebles as the bronze finish tends to rust a bit. Anybody have a good source for the size 8s? I need a box of 50 for my 5s.
A few years ago I bought boxes of 50 each in 6s, 5s and 3s, but don't remember where I ordered them from. It looks like they're mostly available now in boxes of 25. After looking around quite a bit I called Byron at Fish Tech. He's ordering in a couple of boxes for me.
