Gamakatsu Flipping Hook Problems

[Catch and Grease]

First off the hook itself is great, caught my PB on it today in fact... But every time I caught a fish the lure keeper would get ripped off or pushed all the way down to the hook bend, does this happen to everyone? Did I perhaps leave them in the sun to long and make the plastic holding them on go bad?

Love these hooks though they are very strong and SHARP!

The hook keeper is just a piece of wire whipped onto the shank then shrink tubed.  I love these hooks as well.  Before I fish them I superglue the hook holders as to give them a bit of extra bite to the hook as soon as I get them.  I found the more they slide the worse it becomes.  The glue method seems to help so far.

Thanks for the tip! I'll go buy some super glue and try that next time.

Turn the hook so the drop of glue can run down into the gap between the baitholder and the hook shank and then I rub a drop on the oher side as well.  Blow on for a bit and then hang to dry.

Buy mustad denny brauer flipping hook and not worry about it. Trokar makes a great hook too but more expensive

Best hooks...worst bait keepers

I love Gammy's, however for this particualar application the Trokar flipping hooks really got my attention.

X2, I love Gammy's other hooks but prefer Trokar's flipping hooks.
