Can anyone help with the Berkley Powerbait Pumpkinseed color recipe? I'd bet your're going to ask which one, because there really are so many different variations of Pumpkinseed in the Berkley line. I can post a picture if it will help. The original worm was a finesse type crawler worm with a flat tail that my grandfather used to call a "****" worm. He's asking me to make some because you cant buy them anymore and he's out. This pumpkinseed isn't like the Zoom or Culprit colors... it's very milky (opaque) looking and almost seems more like a night crawler color than Pumpkinseed. Any help would be greatly appreciated - the old guy needs some of these. Thanks - Jim

I'm going to venture into rod building and I am looking for a used power wrapper. Does anyone have anything out there? I really like the CRB stuff but unfortunately they are out of stock everywhere. I'm not dead set on CRB if anyone has anything else available. I have a feeling that rod building is going to be what fly tying is to me - a money pit, and I would rather start out with a power wrapper than a hand wrapper. If anyone has any advice, please send it forward. Thanks, Jim
