Glad you got them, Josh! We like to use it with a fly rod and size 10 hook. Steve said to tell you that most people who fish for trout are having the best luck with the Stubby Steve's alone... alot of people are adding a piece to their favorite lure and doing well that way. He said if you use a small hook you probably only need to use one piece. And if you use a bigger hook, you should add enough pieces to completely cover the shank of the hook. But you probably figured that out already! \:\) The kids are going to have so much fun!
