Rodney,

The graphic included in the article is misleading. The line does not hang
straight when rigged. In fact if it did the kick action you have referred
to would not work.

I have played with this hook, and given two of my few that TJ sent me away
to friends/pros to play with. I gave one to Hammer and one to Dave
Willhide.

It works, but I would suggest promoting it with a two pic graphic. One with
the hook sagging down as it really does, and one with direction indicators
showing the movement of the line and the hook when it is tugged to make the
hook standout as it is pictured.

JMHO.... and I do have a little experience (admittedly a very little) with
the hook. The article was very nice by the way. It is a good hook.
