Hook help

Post by NW Fisher » Mon Oct 01, 2007 2:20 pm

So I went up to Banks Lake in perfectly miserable weather to fish for some Smallies and proceeded to catch a few. I was using the LC Fat RC BDS in the Ghost Minnow pattern. After breaking the lip on my 1.5, not the first time I have done that :roll: , I tied on the .5 version and still caught them. However, as all fishing stories go, the big one that got away broke the trailing hook. I got a good look at it and it was a solid 3.5-4lber. but then, one of the hooks broke and off it swam.

Now I need to replace the hook and was curious if anyone uses the VMC Sure set hooks, and what their opinion is. Also, would it be best to use Smart link Titanium rings as a safeguard to loosing the bait when it gets hung up?

Thank you

Jake
