jamieh90 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Posted November 17, 2012 I find it sits the point really aggressive on the long shank mugga hooks, I've tried it on a couple of other patterns too like the wide gapes. I turn down the hook 8-10 times then twice under the hair. I use all baits on it too either with or without a small shot. Quote
beanz Posted November 17, 2012 Report Posted November 17, 2012 please dont take this the wrong way......but id argue that with that many turns it has exactly the same mechanics as a knotless knot, the two extra turns are meaningless Quote
jamieh90 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Posted November 17, 2012 If you tie both hooks kk and kd you can see the difference straight away in the angle of the point and how the hook sits. It's everyone to there own and as long as it ends up in the net who cares how its tied Quote
beanz Posted November 17, 2012 Report Posted November 17, 2012 the angle of the point ... this im guessing shows to be more aggressive when holding the bait above the hook by hand,and out of water???? is it the same when being ejected by a fish???? Quote
jamieh90 Posted November 18, 2012 Report Posted November 18, 2012 Well I think so, seems to hook 99% of my fish. I imagine that once the hook has entred the mouth the bottom lip is acting as a ledge and with the point being so aggressive it would struggle to eject. As i I said before this is my suggestion but other people may think different. Quote
