What size were you looking for? CT and Walmart usually have them. If you don't need them right away, I can keep my eyes open and let you know if I see any. Not sure when I am going to either of those places again though.

Have you used them very often chubb?

I have tried them a few times and they seem to get me quite a few smaller fish but I don't think I have landed a legal on one yet. I usually just stick to a spinner rig or lindy rig depending on the speeds I am wanting to go.

I have seen them for sale at Canadian tire, Walmart, and wholesale sports in Lethbridge.

I would have thought that pretty much any tackle shop would carry them in Calgary but I guess that isn't the case.

He adds some beads and scents and off he goes...

Ya I have had days where I have laid the boots to the smaller fish but I have never had success getting legals with that rig.

I won't give up on it but it definitely isn't my first choice when I hit the water for a day.
