Hooks Matter
Hundreds of charter days have taught me hooks are critical. Too often, factory hooks are cheap and inadequate. That's why my summertime go-to, Berkley Flickers on Saginaw Bay, get immediate hook upgrades. I replace factory hooks with Mustad Triple Grips or VMC Barbarians—stronger, sharper, and built to hold.
While bigger isn't always better, one size up is my rule. A size 6 Flicker gets a size 4 Mustad. And forget three hooks; they cause lost fish, net tangles, and injuries. I remove all but the rear hook. It's simpler, safer, and gets your line back in the water faster.
Quality hooks cost more, but they're worth it. At Reel Fish'n, performance trumps price. Invest in your hooks; invest in your success.
