Hi All,
Just thought that those of you who tow gars around or switchbait may be interested in this article I found on catch rates of J hooks versus Circles versus Snelled Circles.
http://www.fishing.sh/htmfiles/hookrepo ... lling.html
I have played around with snelling circles a bit and just by pulling a snelled versus crimped hook through the web of my thumb and forefinger I discovered that for some reason having the hook stiff to the mono at an angle gives the hook a distinct tendency to go for the bottom of the web ie. where the sweet spot is on the jaw hinge of a fish.
For those of you who don't know how to snell a hook here is the fastest and easiest way to do it, excuse the tutor he's from Kentucky...
