Them's crappy hooks. Get ya some Gamakatsu #4 EWG barbless trebles. They don't rust nearly as bad but you gotta hose 'em off after use. If you think changin' hooks are bad......try puttin' on those Gamakatsus. Best to do it while sittin in the Emergency Room.

Another thing......take them friggin' nose rings off them baits......SISSY!

Them Gamakatsus hooks were too small from Academy....BTW...I aint using a barb less hook...Don't TAKE NO CHANCES

:)

That's BS! Your hook/land ratio is no worse with barbless. You can't get the hooks I'm talkin' about from Academy. Take them nose rings off and you'll catch more fish.

Wouldn't thatbe considered cheating? Isn't that what he is always complaining about OU doing?:*****::*****:

W, I sent some Gamakatsu trebles to Bruce.....ask him if they're sharp.

I know them Gamakatsu are sharp...Thats all I use as far as Jig Heads!!!! SpeckDaddy hooked me up with 100 1/4oz Gamakatsu Jig Heads for $30!!!

Them jigheads ain't meat hooks, tho. Them trebles will hook 'em in the top of the head, the back, the tail....anything it touches. :)

Thought Reddy didn't fish Bombers cause he catches so many on sand eels.......:shaking:

He only uses 'em cause I said so...................:cry:

What is your experiece....Why?

I thought the nose rings were to give the bait more action.. = catch more fish!

Loop knot frees up the bait more plus the line somehow gets between the wire loops. Gotta cut it to get free.

Mr. G........There is NO way that ring off will make you catch more fish!!!! IF anything it helps....:confused: Only way I would buy that is if I saw with own eyes...That would be like some one saying pull the tail off your sand eel...

Whatever!!!! My guess is that you've never seen anybody use a Bomber that actually fished it the right way.

i thought i did i pretty good job of fishing it the last time when i hooked up .. :cry:

Even a blind hog can find an acorn.......

W, how did your Curados stack up to Bruce's Chronarch? Did ya cast farther? :confused:

He had to put a 1/4oz jig head on because it would throw that 1/8oz far enough!!!! Curados RULE ON BIG LAKE....Dont be sending that junk any more:*****::*****::*****::*****:

my 1/8 oz eel was casting just as far as yalls 1/4!!! with 2 brakes set too! :thefinger:

i put a 1/4 on because you were catching more fish!

Damn, man.....it's true.....you are a liar. ;) I heard that he cast as far with a 1/8th oz. as you did with a 1/4 oz. Forgive me but I tend to fall for that one. :smokin:
