Lite wire hooks

[hookup]

I've never lost one because of a bent hook. I feel that losing a fish is worse than losing a jig.

I'll loose 100 jigs before experiancing the heartbreak of loosing a big fish due to a broken hook.

Also, I'm allergic to penecillian, so rust & me dont get along. One reason I have no problems buying expensive hooks that dont rust easily.

Usually buy Matzuo's for sharing & Gammies for me. Stopped buying owners becaues they rust easily. (I'm in a kayak 90% of the time)

I tied using lite wire hooks and lost good crappie right at the boat from the hook bending, no thanks I'll use good hooks and losing jigs are just a part of crappie fishing.

If releasing fish is your goal, they work great. I prefer to decide if I want to return them once they're in the boat.

I have really loved the mustad 32833 jig hook. very strong very sharp. Had no problem landing an 18 pound steelhead with a size number 1. I do like matzuo sickle hooks(that is all I use for my octopus style hooks and siwash hooks) but when it comes to jig hooks, the wire is too thin and bend way to easy! I fish steelhead though, not crappie. I really really really wish they would make the heavy wire matzuo sickle hooks, but my understanding is they quit making them. Why, I have no idea!!! So for now on(unless they get the heavy wire sickle back) I will be using mustad 32833 hooks.

GOODTIMEFISHING they still make the 3x matzuo hooks still it just takes so long to get them. You have to buy straight from matzuo there self. Or here at www.beeleejigs.com. Enjoy them!

They have some good tying video's on the site and their YouTube vids aren't bad either.
