Dypsis Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Was curious if anyone has ever used these or any other products that you like instead? http://www.***.com/Fuji_Ez_Keeper/descpage-FUJIEZK.html Thanks Quote
Super User Montanaro Posted October 24, 2014 Super User Posted October 24, 2014 I got it for my okuma tcs and it works well. No issues Quote
Daniel Lin Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 I have one on every rod I own. It's nice to have for open hook lures. Most of my rods have Texas-Rig keepers that work great for plastics but are generally pretty awful for open hook and treble hooks. Quote
EvanT123 Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 I had 2 of them. Within 2 months or so the rubber ring that keeps them attached; dried up, cracked and fell off. Quote
IAY Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 I have them on my JDM rods, and I have no problems with it. I don't know what kind of condition you were keeping them in to have the rubber dry off and crack. Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted October 25, 2014 Super User Posted October 25, 2014 Don't care for hook keepers. I've grabbed that hook too many times when it's by the handle. I hook my lures on the guide foot, works better for me. Quote
Hogsticker Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 I use them on all my rods. Nice to be able to change location if I want. No cracking, no problems. Works well with all hook styles and keeps the hook away from the blank - good thing, no scratches. I won't use any part of the guides or reel to accommodate a hook. Quote
Maico1 Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 No problems here it has been on the rod for at least 6 years..... Quote
Dypsis Posted October 25, 2014 Author Posted October 25, 2014 Thanks for all the responses I just bought my first 2 Loomis rods and want to keep them as clean as possible. Quote
Super User CWB Posted October 25, 2014 Super User Posted October 25, 2014 I use them on all my rods. Nice to be able to change location if I want. No cracking, no problems. Works well with all hook styles and keeps the hook away from the blank - good thing, no scratches. I won't use any part of the guides or reel to accommodate a hook. Just Curious. From pictures, these would not seem to work with T-rigged baits. Do they? Have a couple rods I could use these on if they do. Quote
Daniel Lin Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Just Curious. From pictures, these would not seem to work with T-rigged baits. Do they? Have a couple rods I could use these on if they do. Just flip it "closed", such that it's angled down. Bam! Just like any factory speced Texas rig hook keeper. Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted October 25, 2014 Super User Posted October 25, 2014 I used these in the past, on a Daiwa VIP crankbait rod, no problems for years and years.. Got one on a falcon spinner right now, no issues.. Quote
Dypsis Posted October 26, 2014 Author Posted October 26, 2014 I prefer the Bill Norman Hook Keeper. I bought those and the Fuji's from TW yesterday. Wasn't sure what one I would like better. Quote
John G Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 I bought those and the Fuji's from TW yesterday. Wasn't sure what one I would like better.I also bought both and decided to go with the Bill Norman HK. Quote
