A #2 Newhouse probably has stronger springs than a #4 B&L. Never used the #44 but I’ve been using Newhouse for over 40 years. Life Member NTA & FTA "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass.

Thanks for that demo. But, that #11 looks to be a bit weaker than these B&L 2's. Then again, you look like a big ol boy with some honkin vice grips ! I cant squash one of these with one hand like that. I do put the on my knee but to one side, then the other. Thanks again ! Last edited by Crowfoot; 02/14/22 06:50 PM.

Little close to the ball bag? Bet it'll make you jump and make so incoherent sounds if you not paying attention.

Be sure to add and maintain quality swivels ! Wouldn't want a wring-off
