2 Different Hooks

I have been aiding to produce this hook for a couple of a long time now, and have been extensively impressed with its overall performance so significantly. Here is the concept of how it performs –

1st, what is the greatest impedance to the first hook up and hook penetration? The barb. Does not matter if it is a cone position, cutting stage, knife edge, no matter what new barb you treatment to mention, the truth is it will get in the way and what ever shape it is it has to be forced in. Not only that but the hole it tends to make heading in is about two times the size of the wire the hook is manufactured of so appropriate there the hook is loose.

The excellent hook point is a easy prolonged taper cone, this will penetrate gristle and bone much better than any other shape, and is also the strongest form for keeping a sharp stage. Consider about sitting in the dentist’s chair, what shape needle would you like going into your gums? Flattened? Cutting stage? Or a great easy tip? The greatest opportunity of a hook up normally occurs the first time the fish hits the lure so this hook offers the best opportunity now of that taking place with no barb in the way.

By moving the barb down near the bend we have achieved the greatest feasible penetration, and now that the hook is in there the small barb functions like a hang nail and actually retains the hook in place, unlike a regular barb all the way up that the prime. This makes confident the hook stays in which it is intended to be while all the angler has to do is keep minimal pressure on the line as per standard procedure.

At the conclude of the battle, either on deck or in water for release, when the tension is used off the hook is merely ‘unlatched’ and comes right out of the fish. Quite effortless to eliminate this hook and steer clear of leaving hooks in fish to be launched.

Lastly an added security feature of this hook is that if you are caught by 1, it will come appropriate again out and you will be back again fishing as an alternative of heading to the ER. May just conserve your day!

Right here it is, it’s operating identify is ‘Bimini Hook’ but this may possibly transform in the coming weeks as it turns into offered. It is being manufactured in darkened carbon metal.

I have utilised the hook on and off for 2 years, caught mahi, white marlins and wahoo on it and not misplaced a single fish.

The other hook is a concept that has been about for a even though but nobody appears to be running with it, barbless circle hooks in trolling lures. I selected a 12/ Charlie Brown circle hook attached to a 450# bb swivel for this application.

Lower off the barb, blunted the hook position and painted it with hammerite.

Right here is the rig – 500# leader, 650# cable below shrink tube

I have no clue if this is the correct or mistaken way to rig a hookless circle for trolling, but I have a pal who is willing to give it a go….
