I would encourage you to give it a try!

Also I would gladly purchase larger HSB if they were readily available in my area.

I do have a truckload of 5" HSB coming up in about a week or two.

They will be on the same truck as 1500 lbs of feed trained largemouth for a client with a 10 acre lake. His lake is brand new, and completely full of gizzard shad, threadfin shad, and fathead minnows.
