Circle Hooks And Flourocarbon

[papajoe222]

So in my quest to continue beating my head against a wall rather than moving myself or the wall, I attempted to give the 'devil line' another chance to let me down.  This time I attempted to use it on a 6in. wacky rigged stick worm, but this time I decided not to give it a chance to fail me on the hook set.  I rigged it with a circle hook.  I told my wife to remind me (she's very good at doing it when I mess up) that when I say; " Here we go" she would say "circle hook" before I could reel up the slack and use my previously tried and true hook set.

IT WORKED!!!!  I just held the rod tip high and reeled and the next thing I knew a nice 2lb. smallie was giving me a fantastic arial performance. 

I know I'll go back to bad mouthing 'devil line,' but I figured I owed it an apology as it's poor past performance wasn't 100% it's fault.
