correct assist hook gape

<< < (3/3)

Ash Neale:
Like a buffer as such.Its a sticky bit of stiff silver material that gets wraped around the hook shank to stop it from fowling.

Sam Beeby:
thanks for passing on the link. I wonder if a small cable tie zipped tight around the shank up near the eye, with the tag protruding out toward the point wouldn't do the trick??

Ash Neale:
Cant see why not sam, use a mid sized one, enough to stop the fowling but no probs for a fish.
Good thinking.
Ash.

Awesome man... I know Mister Spooner has been a grumpy bopy lately with too much work and too little fishing, much like myself.... Glad to hear the fish are back in range again... I'll call you this evening, need to have a look at your new toys and see about a trip out there with you.

Cheers
