So last night I went to get a couple of k-14"s and was very dissapointed to see they added the sure set hook to their whole product line this year. Last year in Alaska using the crocodiles fixed with the "new Hook" we had an astonishing number of snagged in the side of the face fish, and after 6 or seven silvers the hook simply broke off costing us the fish. I would change any of the hooks to a simple treble hook as soon as you buy them,, could you imagine catching your first springer or steelhead and it was foul hooked in the face..... and you had to let it go
Now i might be wrong but a fish that gets hooked in the face obviously came up to bite my presentation. especially when trolling or back bouncing so i keep them whenever possible. go ahead and call me a poacher i don't care.
There might be but come on if you are trolling along and a fish hits and you reel it in and its hooked outside the mouth it it really foul hooked? Legal yes ethically no. unlees you trolled through a huge school of fish with weighted trebel hooks you not gonna get a fould hooked fish. when was the last time someone hook a fish in the tail trolling? You can send the cops to my door unless the catch me its legal in my book.
Back on subject, sorry for the Hijack
I'm not sure what hooks you are refering to, do you have a photo somewhere?
