I have now switched all my Kwikies to 510's. At first I was getting a poor hook up rate, about 50%. Since I started to bend the point so it had a slight off set from the shank, it is as good as any other hook I have tried.

The great part about the 510 comes when it is time to release the fish, it is very easy to do and with the least possible impact on the fish.

I seam to be able to land the fish once it is hooked up. I use a barrel swivel between the 510 and the eye of the Kwikfish, to attach the barrel swivel to the eye, take a pair of pliers and bend the eye to allow the swivel to slide on.

By placing a swivel between the hook and the kwikfish also the fish to roll and not twist the hook out or enlarge the hole around the hook. Also when you need to release the fish you can grab the plug without worrying about the fish setting the hook into you.

One last note, these hooks are very STRONG, be very careful when you try to bend them. I suggest using a vice or at least vice grips to hold the hook while bending it..
