About 30 seconds is what I go by, then hang them by the tail to straighten them out. Just recently I found a pile of old Vibrotails that were all crappy and as hard as the devils forehead, boiled them all up and they have come back to life a treat.

Still taste like shyte. :P
Even with sweet chillie sauce.
Your taste buds must be rooted. :roll:
" YOUTH is a GIFT "
"AGE is an ART ""Doesn't mean you get any smarter..just wrinkled and cracked".

"No angler watches nature in a passive way...He enters into its very existence." (John Bailey...Reflections on a Waters Edge)

"Govern a Family as you would catch a small fish....Very Gently." (Chinese Proverb)

"Only those become weary of angling who bring nothing to it but the idea of catching fish." (Rafael Sabatini...1857-1950)

I pray that one day God sends me a fish so big that, when talking of it...I have no reason to lie.
