Re: New spider hook from Ahrex
Yes, but when you click on Mike's site, it shows: "out of stock, due in during early 2025".

Re: Splitting versus dubbing ropes

Once in a while, you can find reasonable prices when someone is selling off their dead friend's 50-spool stash of Pearsall's! Yes, Stephen Hankins (from Magpie) ...

Re: Basque Cheesecake
