Rav, can't believe you came up with that

I used to get unbelievable charley-horses in my legs - knots the size of a softball in my hamstrings so bad I'd wake up bolt upright in the middle of the night - I had to wake my wife up to knead them out until I could stand up again

5 or 6 years ago we heard about the effects of quinine (tonic) water - straight, no ice

Been using it ever since every time I get cramped up - still don't know why it works but it does ...

Loosen the knots and relieves the cramps in literally a minute or two at most

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
