I have the standard set of jaws, never needed the smaller or bigger set and I tie 22-24s and big 2/0s for salmon. These jaws hold everything well. Joyce On Thu, May 5, 2016 at 3:31 PM, Allan Fish wrote: > > > If you contact Norm direct, tell him you know me. > > Tony >

Hi Tony; The one I'm buying has the saltwater jaws, never used and very reasonable price, cheaper than buying a factory new one an adding a set of jaws. Will have to email Scott, have not heard from him since before SowBug.  Wayne  Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Thu, May 5, 2016 at 3:01
