Since this newsgroup seems dead (unless my server is missing a LOT of
messages) I realize it's mostly a bass list as well. BUT I'm betting
that most folks fish for more than just bass.

How about a discussion on hook types and sizes used for various fish.
For instance when would you prefer a circle type hook for fishing and
when you would like an octopus or aberdeen or whatever.
Bait holder?

Sizes you prefer and what do you use them for. Yes I already know that
using a size 20 for lunker bass isn't going to work well, Or using a 5.0
for brook trout isn't a good idea...

Do you pre-snell or just tie on as needed.

Anyone use a specific rig most of the time, like a Texas rigged worm or
a Carolina or some other "lucky" tie.

For myself I have bare hooks in the box for just about anything, plus
snell holders with hooks from #6 up though #3.0 with maybe 5 of each
size all ready to go, but they are just snelled to the line no upper
loop in case I want to drop a weight or two or maybe a few beads or a
spinner.

And, no you haven't been missing anything. danl probably still has me
blocked because he took offense to me mentioning somebody on this group
who
makes or made baits took forever to fill an order, and most of us have
various incarnations of scumvilepunitcanoeanglerbugonthewindshield
blocked.
Other than that there just hasn't been any traffic.



No Bob you are not it the Bozo bucket. But to make a point, the last
two posts to Steve did not address his point or question. You need to
get a hobby!


Paraphrasing....

List all your hooks and what you use them for.
.... long winded explanation of why that's not really practical, but a more
specific request or question might be.

I haven't seen much on this newsgroup.
.... that because there hasn't been much traffic on this newsgroup you
haven't missed anything.

Do you ice fish?
.... no I raise my own domesticated ice in the freezer at home.

I guess I must have missed those last two post of mine your refer to. Did I
make the bozo bin yet?
