Re: Can we talk about hooks again?

Another thing I would like to add to Gus and Cal's post. I am almost certain that this year is a minimum of three years for Gus using single hooks. Maybe Gus will clarify? Iknow he turned me on to them prior to last year. Time flies when you are having so much fun catching fish on single hooks. For the record, I am a fan of Gamakatsu, Siwash hooks.

Re: Can we talk about hooks again?

I switched my hooks this past winter. I went with Gamakatsu Siwash from Kittery Trading Post. I put size 4's on Top Guns, Savant Winnie Wonders, Db's etc.. I put Size 6's on Guides Specials, Mini BBguns and other small spoons 2 inch and down...I might even try a size 8 on the Little Guides, I will have to wait until July/august for that trial. I caught a few fish so far this season and have been happy with the results. Much easier getting the hook out and I had only one LDR but I had those with trebles as well. So far I am sold. I put my hooks on down so I could hang them on my Hook-Um pads and still see the paint/tape job. Very happy with the Gamakatsu Hooks, very sharp and very stong.

Re: Can we talk about hooks again?

At the gathering I was passing out free siwash hooks and didn't have too many people take them. Remember Eagle Claw is the only American manufacturer of fishing hooks in the World. Five years ago you could say that the Japanese had a better hook but you can't today. Our new Trokar hook is 50% sharper than Anyones hook. All our hook points are sharper now than they ever were before. Buy American and save someone job!

Who sells them, this would be the 3d time is as many years that I have changed "all" my hooks on 100's of spoons. I wont be doing all of them again as I'm pretty much doing mostly flys past two seasons, but I would like to change a few "on the fly" while fishing. What sizes for DB's, Guides and Top Guns (or similar) ??

Bob,
I’ve done a web search and cannot come up with someone who carries the siwash Trokar hook. Is there anybody locally that carries them?

We don't make them in the Trokar series yet, but AJ has the regular ones. Alan can get whatever you guys want.
