In Response To: Re: J-Hooks (Jap)

Thanks for the advice.Takes me back to my teenage years on the holsten river in east tennessee when we used a tiny brass coated hook that a salmon egg would barely cover for trout.Get a hit,LIFT the rod tip and slowly reel.Let the hit go on to long,gut hooked.Took a bass fishing friend out to the white river in Arkansas for trout a few years ago.Could not get him to not rip the set.He caught a few,I caught a bunch.Have went to Canada six or seven times on the Boundary Waters for small mouth,pike,walleye,lake trout with treble hook plugs.Caught a lot of fish,a LOT! Occurred to us that we were spending as much time getting hooks out of our teeth,ears,eyeballs,hands,gear and other body parts as we were getting the hooks out of the fish.Started using what the locals use(you think?)4" grubs,1/4 ounce single hook lead heads.Improved TECHNIQUE.Fewer fish,more walleyes,fewer pike,more fish you can eat.Still caught 30 plus a day.Had to use deep diving treble plugs for lake trout.Still in jlmann's school.It's a good one.Guess I'll keep on learning.Ain't that a thing?
