Breaking Siwash hooks? I have used gami siwash for ten years and can only remember a couple times where they were bent...never broken one or seen one broken.

Last year my buddy and I were fishing near the mouth of the Cowlitz. The outgoing tide was weak so the k-fish were barely thumping. Anyway, he must have cleanly missed 3-5 fish over two days with a siwash on the back while I never missed a single fish with the factory trebles. We found that the current was so slow that when we held his plug along the side the boat the siwash hung straight down instead of straight out where you want it. I'm sure the treble hung straight down too but the additional hooks seem to make a difference. In a light current I won't use the siwash on the back...with a good thump will certainly go for it.
