I've used these, and always enjoyed taking long nose gar with them, since the traditional pattern uses NO HOOK (I'd tell friends that I've become so good that I don't even need hooks to catch fish!!) . So ,essentially, all you need is some hardware store white nylon rope that is combed out to just straight fibers(wire brush), then lashed to a hook shank that has the bend,barb and point cut off (or just a piece of straight wire). Gar attack these, until they chew and manage to wrap the nylon around their long snot and in those millions of teeth.(Really, this is not a joke!).
