Guide Review - Cactus Juice Sun & Skin Outdoor Protectant

I was surf fishing on the Outer Banks of NC in September four years ago. The wind was blowing the wrong way, and the green flies were horrendous. Since I was the only obstacle between them and death by drowning, I soon became their refuge. Green flies have a mean bite, and they leave a nasty sore. I'm a determined fisherman, but this day the green flies were winning. Down the beach was a lonely fisherman, and from the looks of it the flies weren't bothering him. We asked him why, and he said he was using Cactus Juice, some new stuff that just came in at the tackle shop. He let us try some and sure enough the flies were leaving us alone and so were the mosquitoes. Cactus Juice really worked.

Cactus Juice is now sold with new labeling, but the formula is the same as the original I tried. Cactus Juice deserves a place in every tackle box.
