Fished in deep waters with large bass and the hook held strong during the fight. The sharp point and 2X strength made a big difference in hookset performance. Reliable and durable.
Alexander Watson –
Used it on a streamer rig in coastal conditions. The wide gap and sharp edge helped with fish detection and retention. No slippage even when the fish was pulling hard.
John Glover –
Good for hair bugs and streamers. The black-nickel finish looks professional. A bit heavier than standard stingers, but worth it for bigger fish.
