Trev, that's what I like about them, the shape. When you get a fish, they stay hooked good.

But what I don't like is what TM mentioned, the points. They're not the traditional cone points. They are needle sharp, but that makes them needle thin. The hook points roll real easy. I always carry a diamond file with me just in case. It only takes 10 or 15 seconds to touch up the tip, but I shouldn't have to do it!

Like I said, I'll never buy them again. I've still got about 50 of them in red and black 1/0 to 3/0. I'm too cheap to just throw them out :P

Just read what I typed before I hit the 'post message'. Kinda makes me worry. I thought "If the points roll that easy on small wood, what about the rock hard, trout slurping lips of a bass"? I think I'll be changing some hooks :o
