[Discraft] How rare is it???? I never seen one!

I thought mark only used stiff D or Z magnets..not soft D...though that lizard skin deal does look interesting.

In his bio he makes a comment about changing his Magnets with the season using regular Pro D in the summer and softs in the winter.

I think the allure of the 4 chain has to do with the stiffness of the plastic, so I think the soft 4 chains are less desirable in general

i agree. in my experience, the older soft 4 chains are a bit floppier for the most part when new, compared to the newer runs of soft magnets over the last few years. i've found some runs of newer 'soft' magnets that are a lot firmer and have the awesome grip but the firmness of the old 4 chains that people love. you just have to hunt for them. most of the newer pro d i've seen is too brickish. feels almost like kc but without the durability.

i tried that for the first time this winter and on the whole have enjoyed the results. the weather here in MD is pretty mild compared to much of the country but for a few months of the year there is a noticeable difference. i've been using an omega ss to good effect in place of my regular (firmer) dx aviar. i want to try some r-pro aviars for this purpose, but recently got the 2 omegas for 4 bucks a piece in a lot so i had to try them.
