Yeah, unfortunately I often fish by myself, or else I would do the tag-team "watch and pick-up".
I never knew about the wear bars, but found the "Shappell Jet Sled Wear Bars" on-line. Thanks for the suggestion!
They are a bit pricey, but a simple solution to the cost - BIRTHDAY GIFT!
The family never knows what to get me, so here is a good gift idea I can toss their way.
Its a "win-win"!!!
