Let's discuss hook keepers

[.ghoti.]

I normally use the kind choporoz posted. If it's a split grip, I put it in the split, otherwise right in front of the seat, on the bottom.

I like the EZ keeper, and have those on factory rods that came without a keeper.

Lots of good ideas here. The Kigan looks like a perfect dropshot keeper. BBF's idea is brilliant. I have some single foot Recoil fly guides for an upcoming build. I'm gonna "borrow" one of those to wrap on one of my existing rods to try out.

hook keeper location is always been hit or miss as i always carry my rod in front of the reel , where it balances in my hand , most of the time where the hook keeper and a sharp hook is !!
