midnighthrasher Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 Anyone try these... sounds like a decent idea. http://www.***.com/descpageBSTARHK-BSSTH.html Quote
Super User Big Bait Fishing Posted October 26, 2009 Super User Posted October 26, 2009 nice concept , just wondering how their hooks are ?! i use owner hooks for everything but catfish , crappie , bluegills . all my bass stuff has owner hooks , just tried and true product that is second to none . so tryin' a new product when i already have something that works so great it is hard to even give consideration to something new .... anyhow , i imagine that they will work good , tho i never had a problem with fish leveraging out treble hooks , i just don't give the fish time to work against me , i just reel them in as fast as possible , no ''playing the fish'' for me . i guess lite tackle guys would appreciate this concept better , i'm just a power fisher Quote
SportMN Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 My problem is this. With the hook already on an o-ring attached to the bait. There is already quite a bit of rotation. Not sure how much, but I bet 180 already. How much more do you need? I would be afraid that when the hook tries to bite that it would rotate away from the mouth as well?.. I could be way wrong, but at the price they want for them. I will let others try them firsts.. Just my opinion. Quote
Super User Catt Posted October 27, 2009 Super User Posted October 27, 2009 I have XCalibur Tx3 rotating hooks on a lot of my traps; they are extremely sharp and dig into my carpet quite well. http://www.excaliburlures.com/tackle_treble.asp Quote

Super User Tin Posted October 28, 2009 Super User Posted October 28, 2009 You can also get 360* of rotation out of trebles by adding another split-ring to the one already on the bait inbetween the hook. = Less lost fish Quote
MuahMan Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 I have XCalibur Tx3 rotating hooks on a lot of my traps; they are extremely sharp and dig into my carpet quite well. They hold well on my Ram 1500 seats!!!!! Grrrrr I put them on a $15.00 Lucky lure and caught a few bass. But now that the lure is worth like $25.00 I'm afraid to throw it! ;D Quote

Carmen J Bernardo Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 It sounds like a good idea, but the price is a bit steep for a guy in this crazy recession. I'll give 'em a pass until things look a bit better. Perhaps one or two lures switched over can be used for the experiment... Quote

Have you tried them on fish yet, Catt? Why yea caught my 12.8 on em but a bass can still throw it For me, these hooks are a love/hate relationship. I love them on my top water and jerkbaits, but I hate them on my cranks. They are the most dangerous hooks you can buy no doubt. It gets stuck to everything and I have a hard time removing it from everything down to the fishes mouth. I can't remember how many times I've accidentally hurt myself on these hooks when I was being extra careful. I cannot say that they are the sharpest hooks I have because I really don't know, but because the rotations on them, these things are deadly. Quote
Super User KYntucky Warmouth Posted October 28, 2009 Super User Posted October 28, 2009 I really like the Tx3 hooks, very sharp. I just hate that they are bronze Quote
BassBandit35 Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Might be good for flutter spoon due to leverage so those rotating hooks would increase the hook up ratio? Quote
