I agree 100%.
As a mono/composite rod guy (1201m) Hookset is vital. I fish next to a guy who fishes braid and stiff graphite. he flicks his wrist and is hooked up
And I fish Mustad hooks....

I learned by watching a crew from Newport that specializes in chunking and big fish. Drop the tip, extend your arms, AND when it comes tight, set the hook.Your reel should be behind your ear!

other than that, it's half luck, half skill and half circumstances

thanks Bryan for more wise words,,,,,,,,,,,

by monstahs, my attention grabbing title, i meant 50's and up
or the trophy variety of our beloved species. i like mustads as well, but have difficulty
in finding them regularily and big enuff. will have to buy them buy the gross from the Boyz
at the Edge or from Kevin or at Sam's the next time i get to NPT.
Kay prolly has them as well,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,i will look into it for next season.

the Owner hooks i've found to be excellent, as you said Steve.
they are tough to find in Saugus as well. am very willing to try any product at least once,
although i DO have considerable confidence in the Gammi line.

THANKS a million to everyone for contributing so generously!
