I know, but think a bit about what sort of fish can bend open a heavy
guage, 2/0 sal****er, stainless steel hook, even if it is a Mustad.
My tippet was 14.75 lb. test Daiichi fluoro btw.


A FINE fish, I'm sure. But that hook bent before a 15lb tippet broke. I
would expect a salt hook that size to be stronger than that, but then I
know **** about salt water.
