Most Innovative Hook's - Page 2

DeepC, you got it... the lighter the hook you use for targeting WM, the better it sticks. Like a hypodermic. Unfortunately most light hooks are no where strong enough to hold a big tuna if it eats your whitey bait. That's just something you got to live with. Make your choice and take your chances. In the smaller lures that may get hit by a big fish I'm now moving to Jobus, or the Roddy Hays hooks as they are plenty strong and stickier than the heavy hooks like the koreans, momoi etc. I sure won't expect to catch every WM that hits though.

Murph.. Yes, the anderson hooks are a different kettle of fish to the Owners, and as you say should not corrode, apologies for any confusion.

No apology needed, I just wasnt sure that I had mentioned it earlier. Its a problem that all manufacturers have been trying to tackle.

The process they use to manufacturer has far out reaching benefits. Think about fishing reels, twice as strong as steel and 20% lighter. Means that you can replace stainless steel heavier parts to lighten the overall weight.

Its a product that have many manufacturers in this industry scratching there heads thinking about some of the possibilities. Its not the hook but the properties of the material, and the fact that this is an injection process which is completely different then the traditional method of hook manufacturing.

Murph,
You mentioned 20% lighter. When dealing with reels lighter is better but hooks in my opinion lighter isnt always better. Some times he weight of the stainless is enough to hold the bait on those days when the wind is alittle much, rather than having a light hook and having to use a chin weight.No expert but just a thought.

Aloha!

I love that these hooks are being produced. The manufacuring process could be the wave of the future

The cone point is a strong point with more material supporting the point than a cutting edge point.

Since no cutting edge those that like the gaff hook rig should have less to worry about,,,,no mo hook cutting during the fight making hole bigger

I do worry about the eye. I thought the eye going the otherway led to more cam action as the hookset passed through a marlins mouth, catching in the area between the jaw bone structure. Seems like on paper that hook would slide through the mouth unless it caught on the corner of the jaw - on paper anyway,,,I dunno,,,I don't think a radical eye is necessary since they allready have a radical new material and a cone point which most people ain't used to,,,time will tell

Like I said I'm excited about them
ahi
