I'm hooked on a hook
This not a story about myself or any member of my family impaling me while fishing.
I had gotten a grab bag of goodies in my last tourney, this included a small plano box with DS style baits . While out on the pond yesterday I decided to give them a toss. I don't DS this pond, so I was fly rigging the baits. The kit included a set of hooks that were size 1 Gamakatsu Walleye Wide Gap. http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/te...0012129115105a Unlike most DS hooks, these really held the bait solid when T-rigged. Unlike most of my finesse techniques, every hook set was right through the top lip. I don't know that I would use them for an actual drop shot hook, but for finesse they worked well for me. While the hooks in the kit were good, the baits not so much. They were a little too soft for my liking. It felt like I was tryig to put jello on the hook. They did catch fish in the pond, but they tore too easily for my liking. One of the other items from the grab bag was a pack of jackall flick shake worms. They are a very soft and thinner senko style worm. The action on these when wacky rigged was very good. Probably as good as I have seen. http://www.fishermanschoiceproshop.c...n&key=ST-13723

I've used those walleye hooks this year too, I think I got them when they didn't have the normal split shot/drop shot hooks in the right size. I liked them as well. I actually have been using several "walleye" baits for bass with good success this year.
Edit: I just looked in the boat and the ones I have are size 6. Last edited by Bender; 09-14-09 at 11:31 PM. |

It made me quickly hit mute to avoid the embarrasment of having to explain to my children why it was playing on my computer
