    Been using them since last year in place of siwash hooks much stronger
    They come in black nickel and are also made by owner
    They come standard on many tuna plugs

    The 3/0 dressed as a tail hook with a 2/0 treble belly hook is an awesome combo some people I have done this for swear they swim better than the stock plug

    Pay attention to what history has taught us or be prepared to relive it again

    Does the black nickle rust?

    I was introduced to these by Finchaser last year before everyone else started talking about them

    Stupid me never went out and purchased any because they were hard to find locally.

    My friend ordered some and we fished with them yesterday.

    IMO they are 10x better than the VMC siwash hooks. The hook is 1/3 the diameter so you don't have to punch a huge hook in the fish.

    The hook sets so much easier and the point didn't dull after dozens of fish.

    Best of all with the big bluefish we just crushed the small barb and gave them a little slack and they released themselves most of the time.

    Hey Finchaser, is the reel seat carrying these?

    the nickel rust much much slower and yes The Reel Seat carry's 1/0 to 7/0 except for 4/0 which has not yet been released for some unknown reason
