Big Siwash hooks are used by some good fisherman I know !
Im interested in the whys and wherefore.
For example , a smaller 4/0 lazersharp has spme real advantages too. The chemically sharp as mentioned penetrates anywhere on the bass that touches the eel/.That's important. I caught at least half my rigged eel fish as foul hooked do to very sharp hooks. the thinner wire on the 4/0 vs the 8/0 or 9/0 also means more snagged fish.
the smaller 4/0 also means you can pretty much drag them right through the rocks along the bottom without getting hung up like you would with a bigger hook.
However , all that said , I seem to be going to anchor size hooks as I get older. Its not so they won't bend or fail otherwise , its cause I like that big gap just to let some meat in for a good grab by the point.
Anyway , does he say why he likes big Siwash or just that he does?
