Siebert Outdoors Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Has anyone used these yet? I ordered some to try out since all the other Owners I've ever used have been awesome. They say they are lighter and stronger then a traditional carbon steel hook. I'm slowly swapping out all of my worm/tube hooks to the twist lock hooks. Quote
kLuo Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Mike, I use these hooks and they are pretty solid. I use them for flipping with straight braid and after swinging for the fences sometimes, I still have not noticed any bending of the hook. Also, the non flipping owner twistlock hooks are amazing if you fish plastic frogs. 1 Quote
dreamertino Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 I like the twist lock 5\O for trick worms and flukes you talk about sharp and strong. But they are owner so you know the quality. They are great hooks imo. Quote
War Eagle 44 Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 I use these for ALL my flipping/punching and they have been fantastic. I never have any trouble hooking or landing fish using these hooks with the Palomar knot. I'm somewhere in the neighborhood of 85 to 90% hookup ratio with these hooks. No bending or flex that I'm aware of. Quote
Megastink Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 only thing is if using it for punchin the way the eye is your not going to be able to snell it and get that hook to kick in the same manner... That's the only reason I haven't tried these yet. Quote
bigfishbk86 Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 The hook up ratio with these is phenomenal with a palomar knot. However, i have straightened out numerous 4/0 hooks, not from boat flipping mind you, but have found the 5/0 to be a bit more sturdy. These were all i used last year and boated over 100 bass punching with these hooks, however this year i'll be trying out the hack attack flipping hook, as i don't think they will ever straighten out.

Super User Hooligan Posted January 31, 2014 Super User Posted January 31, 2014 Superb hook for the purpose. I like them a lot for a flip hook where it's a bait that is prone to not lying flat, or twisting. I've done really well with them on big worms and the like, as well. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted January 31, 2014 Author Posted January 31, 2014 Thanks all. I have another idea for the hook. I cant wait to check them out. Quote
ced Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Thanks all. I have another idea for the hook. I cant wait to check them out. Does this involve taking off the twist lock and using it in a jig mold? They are excellent hooks by the way. Quote
mnbassman23 Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 only thing is if using it for punchin the way the eye is your not going to be able to snell it and get that hook to kick in the same manner... x2 This is the only reason I haven't bought any more. No complaints on the hook itself. The non flippin version makes a good fluke/senko hook. Quote
n8cas4 Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Does the CPS spring catch a lot of grass? What benefits does using the spring to flip have over say a strong off-set EWG or straight shank? Quote
Phoenix Guy Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 They are about as good as it gets. Helps keep plastics longer also. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted February 3, 2014 Author Posted February 3, 2014 Does this involve taking off the twist lock and using it in a jig mold? They are excellent hooks by the way. A very very good chance of that. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted February 5, 2014 Author Posted February 5, 2014 I just got a few packs of these in. WOW is all I have to say. Extremely sharp and seem to be extremely strong. Off to my next little project with them. Quote
