I use these all the time now, as well. Good build quality and components. Bass whack these, especially the bluegill colors.

In my experience, a Marketing or Business Development Department is trying to show the owners, some forward thinking progress in their work. This has a lot to do with justifying their employment there. So when the president asks the department heads, what have you been doing with your time, they can...

i dont know if its the wider gap, or the shorter shank, but the st-35 seem to bend a lot less. i have had a ton of bent hooks with the st-36 (and i know that comes with the light wire construction), but none with the st-35's. the st-35 and gamakatsu nanofinesse are the only trebles i use any more. ...

I have considered purchasing some of the short heavy ones, but fear that the action may be poor. It seems the heavyweight sinking ones are only available ov...

The Nano Smooth Coat is No-Nonsense. Even when I pick up a bait out of my crankbait box- I get stabbed by these G Finesse Trebles. The points truly penetrate effortlessly. Can't wait to try the MH version of the trebles.
