Swallowed Hooks
 

Bob -- if memory serves, someone actually did add velcro to bass plugs a few
years ago. Maybe RichZ can remember who the manufacturer was. As I recall the
idea was that the velcro was to work as a sort of "hookerhelper" just to give
you a little edge in landing a fish. Don't know how it worked as I never tried
one.

Course, the same principle works well for gar when you throw a piece of frayed
rope as a lure and the gar gets his incisors all tangled up.

Great question! Has anyone got any links to any scientific studies that
were made which showed mortality rate outcomes from various hook removal
choices?

Thanks.
John


Brad read the above and opined:

Have you even bothered to read this whole thread?

Sorry Brad. I meant scientific studies for Largemouth Bass. Mann's and all
the other summaries are interesting to read but I was hoping to find
Web-linked original publications to read myself and make up my mind as to
what new facts the researchers found, if anything.

Thanks for clarifying my post. You probably noticed from all the other
posts that opinion for hook removal varies, which is why I was hoping there
was new research Web-available.

Good luck.
John

Cordell had the plugs with the Velcro strips/dots on them. It was supposed
to get stuck long enough for you to set the hooks. Also, I'm pretty sure it
was Lindy that had fuzz covered jig heads that were supposed to get stuck
to the bass' teeth.

I thought of the rope for gar too. We actually fish braided nylon "Soft
jerk baits" for gar every now and then up at Champlain.

A FLA redfish guide turned me on to this tool. It works great -- fast and
easy and gets most gut hooks out.

That is an interesting design. Does it work with all size hooks?
