Are those the bronze Mustad "live bait" short shanked hooks? If so, I caught hundreds of bass on those hooks over the years, and I never snelled a single one--basic palomar was all I ever used.

I agree with Chris--you only need to snell hooks with an offset eye.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
