i am not a genious(infact i think i spelld that wrong), but i bought the red hookd way back when i needed some d shot hooks and they were cheaper so i bought them and when i used them i out fished my friend, now if it was b/c we workd out worms diff or the hooks are better, but i jist use them as a confidence thing. i dont think it will make it any worse so might as well try it.
