A NEW HOOK

[AhiSlayer]

A WHILE BACK I SHARED WITH YOU GUYS MY THOUGHTS AND FOR THAT MATTER ALLOT OF PEOPLES THOUGHTS ON THE CURRENT HOOKS ON THE MARKET.

MOST GUYS PULLING LURES LIKE A 7691S. tHERE ARE TWO PROBLEMS WITH THE HOOK.....FIRST IS THE KNIFE EDGE CAN MICRO CURL,,,ONCE THE POINT IS CURLED IT CAN DEFLECT A FISH RATHER THAN GRAB ON.

SECOND IS THE SPRING FACTOR. WHEN A BIG MARLIN LIKE THIS ONE IS LEADERED THE HOOK CAN STRAIGHTEN OR SPRING OPEN AND CLOSED.

THAT BEAUTIFUL BUGGER WAS OVER 500#. CONGRATS TO THE CREW OF THE 43 MERIT HUNTRESS IN KONA.

BLACK BART HAS BEEN RUNNING TESTS ON A NEW HOOK THAT WILL BLOW YER MIND. HERE ARE SOME CLASIC BEFORE AND AFTER PICS OF SOME HEAVY DUTY PULL TESTS

MOST OF THE LEADING HOOKS USED IN THE TEST ARE BARELY REQOGNIZABLE..SO LOOK TWICE TO SEE YER FAVORITE HOOK PUT TO THE TEST!

I'm not familiar witrh this type of fishing in the least, but I can tell from the pics of the design of that new hook, that it is one HELL of a hook!

Just looking at it as an engineer, they have shaped it to resist the stresses right where they occur! Why the hell didn't I come up with this design and patent it or something? LOL

So simple a design, yet so effective.......

Great post Ahi!

THESE NEW SPACE AGE HOOKS LOOK LIKE THE'RE MADE FROM LIQUID. THATS CUZ THEY ARE....THEY COME OUT OF A MOLD.....

NOT A PIECE OF WIRE THAT WAS BORN STRAIGHT THEN HEATED AND FORCED INTO AN UNNATURAL SHAPE.

THESE HOOKS WERE MADE OF ...UH, GET THIS,,,,'MOON PELLETS'....WILD!!!!

BECAUSE THEY WERE BORN IN A MOLD AND HAVE AN IMPROVED SHAPE THEY ARE PROVING TO OUT PREFORM THE BEST OF THE BEST...

NOTICE THE CONE POINT.....THE CONE POINT IS MUCH STRONGER THAN A KNIFE EDGE POINT,,,,,,BETTER PENITRATION AND HOLDS THE POINT LONGER...

THESE HOOKS ARE ONLY AVAILABLE IN SIZE 10/0...WELL ACTUALLY THEY MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE YET...THEY STILL TESTING...

WAHOOKING KNOWS ABOUT UM. ASK HIM FOR MO INFO...

THIS IS THE HOOK OF THE FUTURE GUYS,,,KEEP YER EYES AND EARS OPEN, WHEN THIS COMPANY GETS GOING,,,LOOK OUT!!!

Any idea what type of alloy it is? A "special" blend?

Being "cast", they won't be cheap, but you get what you pay for!

I'M STANDIN BY FOR MY FIELD TESTER PACKAGE

I'M SURE THEY WANT THE 'BOX TO TRY THESE OUT!

AWESOME ...BAD TO THE BONE!

[DILLIGAF]

I'd like to get my hands on a few of them.

10/0 sounds just right for Bluefin this winter. Put me down for 10 or 12.


I just noticed that the eye is turned different than most hooks. I am guessing that design would slide right up in a dead bait nicely?

[WahooKing]

Ahi, pretty much sumed up the hooks.......I'll fill you in when they become available...

Guys,

Another newfangled hook you may wish to consider is the "Hays Hook" by Captain Roddy Hays of Legend Lures (www.legendlures.com - not affiliated yada yada yada):



It's similar to an Owner Jobu but stainless steel and stronger than equivalent size Mustad sea demon or southern tuna. Point is conical so it can be reshaped into whatever configuration you fancy. Already tested on Hawaiian blues to 700+ lbs.
