Bought a pack. Seems like it's a bit heavy for my liking

Hooking is hooking... bigger hooks won't hurt the fish, smaller ones will because they are easier to swallow and get caught up in the gill web etc...

Straightening odd twos, eh? Fishing for springs on Vedd is not towing cars ;D. What about drag setting?

There are an excellent hook, and the only hook so far out there to not have bent out on a sturgeon.

I havent touched gamis for my salmon fishing since i tried them.

heres a link on them   http://rsfat.com/2012/04/we-now-carry-maruto-hooks-and-terminal-tackle/
