I said it was "rare" to actually get a hook snagged in rocks,, a hook,,
not the weight,, I'm sure you were fishing with a bare hook, or just a
soft plastic on it in, 30 feet of water, (yeah right) perhaps you were
using 4# test,, then you might break off before getting a "hook" loose
from rocks. Hooks do not bite into rocks, most are small enough if the
line can get through the cracks, then the hook can, now a bead, or a
swivel, they can easily get stuck in rocks, but mostly you weight hangs
up in rocks, well at least they did, we have pro's fishing rocky lakes
and pre fish and fish up to 3 tournaments on the same weight,, they look
like hell after three weeks of the rocks, but they are still snagless.
These pro's are not snagging their hooks either.


If you don't believe me, ask Bassdozer, some of you know him I think.

Not!

As far as I know, Rodney hasn't said a thing in a long while! He and Albert
was battleing it out in my kill-file the last I heard. But if he said that
its' rare that a hook can get hung on a rock, then he just aint fishing.
Well, fishing those little Bill Dance ponds is "technically" considered
fishing.

stuff to whatever it is that 'looks' like rocks over there. Maybe I'll
get a sample and have Rod ID whatever this bottom cover is for me.

Hey! They can't be in your killfile - they're in MY killfile! Life's been
great since they left. They're probably out fishin for catfish & pike in
Alice's canoe.

Charles, I gotta agree with Chris - hesent me a few red Daichii's & I won a
tourney with em last weekend. They are super sharp. Fished the flippin
tube & the Ozmo on em & was pretty impressed.

Truthfully Charles, the last extras I had went to Warren a couple weeks
ago.
I would do it in a second if I had some extra. I actually have to get a
bunch of them over the winter to restock before the season starts again.

Think I'll pick some of these up next time I'm at Bass Pro Shops*. I
wish
I
would have saved that other hook just to show them... but I doubt the
girls
at the Customer Service desk would have a clue anyway.

*Unless you want to send me some free ones! LOL

Charles,

With money on the line, for me it is Daiichi , and nothing else. If
I
was
going for a line class record, Daiichi, if I was in the bassmasters
classic,
Daiichi. I have used so many different hooks, Gamakatsu are have too
light
of wire, I don't like the cutting edge of Mustad or Eagle Claw, to me
the
points bend to easy.
I guess I can't say enough about them, and wish I could send everyone
free
ones to try just so they knew as well!

Take care,
