Swallowed Hooks
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 "Sideshow Raheem" wrote in message news:voxLc.134509$a24.100289@attbi_s03... What is the recommended thing to do when the bass swallows the hook. I've heard many different things and really don't know what to do. I want that 3 pounder I caught to live and become a 6 pounder... Thanks!

Swallowed Hooks
Hey folks. Do you realize that the fact that we are finding no consensus
solution here is because there is no real solution to the damage caused by the use of hooks. Perhaps what we need to do is to get rid of hooks altogether? Perhaps we need to start thinking outside the box here? Heck... maybe we need to burn the darned box all together. What if we were to replace hooks with pieces of Velcro, and instead of being hooked, the fish just get their teeth tangled up in this harmless material. And if that doesn't work, perhaps a small squeeze bottle of crazy glue could get them stuck to the lure, where a solvent could later be used to release them unharmed. Just think: you would never have to waste valuable time sharpening your Velcro or your glue! Maybe we at SWL should incorporate these ideas on our spinnerbaits right now. Wow! Maybe then we could even get PETA to endorse us! Hic... anybody want a swig from my jug? ;-) -- Bob Rickard (AKA Dr. Spinnerbait) www.secretweaponlures.com --------------------------=x O'))) "Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers" wrote in message ... "Richard Liebert" wrote in message ... Got the article. Follow this link, it is a very convincing article. http://www.wmi.org/bassfish/articles/T31.htm Ralph gave me permission to use the same article. That's what convinced me to concentrate harder to prevent deep hooking in the first place, and to when I must, leave a long tag end to the cut off line. -- Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com G & S Guide Service and Custom Rods http://www.herefishyfishy.com
