fishon NW- geez, i'm wondering if its worth .02 cents, what more do you want, i can't see the actual interface btwn the fish & my parts, all I can do is report the "bite like sensation" when my parts are interrupted from their normal (& usually their 2 thousandth) drift down the river & report the fact the hook is inside the fishes' mouth or under its chin (not in a frint fin, eye, or cheek) when I get it out of the water, are u thinking the fish swim with their mouths open & the corkies go in there by accident?? thus, a snag? what does it take, an underwater camera?? come to grips with it, their is a way to get a heavily pressured fish in very clear water to bite = get the speed of presentation corect (weight size), use longer leaders & smaller baits ....
Lastly, at least follow your own logic path to its end, if the goal was to "clean teeth", a #2 hook would work better than a #1. (hint: # 2 is smaller & would fit into the open mouth of the swimming fish better than a #1)... geez, and to think i haven't figured that part out yet...
If you dont think that 8' leaders are snagging fish, come to the Fraser in August and watch all the dentists looking for sox. Its no coincidence that 95% of the snaggers are using 8'+ leaders and that 95% of the fish are snagged in the mouth. If you want to see it happen in clear water, head over to the Vedder in October and watch the same people practice piscatoral dental hygene with the exact same gear.
Flossing is snagging, sportsmen dont snag.
