Bob
Last fall I lost a lot of fish on spinnerbaits ,so as an experiment I cut the hook off of two of my most productive colors, heated the shank and installed a red treble hook ..My catch rate didn't improve [ because of the red hooks ] but my boating the fish went up slightly. I hope to have a better idea of how well this works come spring Ken Blevins "Bob La Londe" wrote in message ... http://image.basspro.com/images/imag...000/81069a.jpg Anybody using this thing? I am torn. I have been switching my rear hook on crank baits to a one size up Excalibur rotating hook, but this thing looks interesting. If set up propery it should ride large point up for more boney plate hook ups in the roof of the mouth. Thats the type of hook up I get most of the time fishing stick worms wacky style, and I know how few fish I lose that way, but you don't go for that kind of hammer blow hook set with a crank bait. I have started training myself to set the hook by sweeping the rod to one side while continuing to reel instead of a snap set, and it is working, but this hook looks like it might lend itself to harrder hookset. -- ** Public Fishing and Boating Forums ** www.YumaBassMan.com |
