Default Losing fish at the tying bench: method 2047

Clousers on Circle hooks.

Use 'em for flys?

Fishing the surf ... several small fish hooked by the circle Clouser
beautifully ...
scissors jobs one and all ... no worries.

The only really decent fish for the day slammed my clouser so hard the
epoxied eyes were pulled back along and _around_ the shank ...
circle + slipped eyes leads to a gape - 0 ... no hookup.

Think I'll be sticking with conventional hook shapes for Clousers here
on in
and building a more substantial "stop" behind the dumbell eyes to
hinder slippage.



Steve
