I have tryed them in the past and was not to happy

I just could not get the hang of letting the fish do the setting!! I would loses fish after fish

After 2 seasons of this I said you would never see that hook in my box again!!!

Well never say never!! I was out Fluking last year and I ran out of regular rigs that I always make

So I took a circle hook I had in my box and tyed it on to my dead stick.

Well let me tell you, That dead stick was catching faster then me at times!!

I was running back and forth between my dead stick and regular rod!~!

So I can't seem to be able to use them well in my hand but as a dead stick it is a killer!!!!!!!!! And I will always carry them now!!!!!
