    I agree the soule are the best. I ruined mine last year soaked them in too strong a bleach solution. Pitted them. Tried the sap meisters and the sap ran back on them and hit the side of the bag and they blew off in the wind. This year I'm trying the CDL 45 degree with a washer. Each year i'll buy a few more soule to spread the cost. Good luck in Michigan.

    We are trying the CDL 5/16 smart spouts this year as opposed to our usual stainless spouts. We have the same problems as those listed with the stainless spouts on the larger diameter or rough barked trees. So far we are happy with them, it will take the entire season to be sure. 20180317_160525.jpg
