Circle Hooks- Tell NMFS What you think - Page 2

Deep C · 03-21-2007, 07:53 PM

Actually I sent a pile of stuff to Finest Kind many years ago... They never got back to me one way or another.

If he drops me a pm with an address I can toss a few at him...
Gonna be tough to beat the laws of physics though. Since the head of those models is wider than the gap of the hook, they force the fish's mouth open wider than that gap... It can't set unless by a freak of luck...
Although I use them for Blues at Chub its also my number one white raiser... Thats the one we gotta figure how to dial in the rigging for. The blue can be dealt with by upping the bait and hook size ... Doing that though is gonna take the money white out of the game. We've been testing the rigging for sail/ white class rigging... My market for it is strongest amongst the white marlin crowd for it...

We need a hand her fellows... I hate to see this bait of death no longer usable...

Thank you and thank everone who send their opinions in... Even if it doesn't go our way it give them full heads up that "we the people" are nearing our end of patience and the heat is not far behind unless they start listening...

Which of you OC Md. guys are going to Snow Hill? How about adding a circle hook only catagory to the tourneyment, run a years worth of tourneyments and then crunch those numbers?Capt Jay's idea about using cirles say on #50 and under tackle is worth trying also. Or how about an IGFA certified observer on every boat go all release and leave the money where it's at.Holy sh........ that's my 100th post!
