Considering you caught all your fish on my rods, reels, lures, and hooks, I think that's a good move smile Hopefully next week we can get a few on the damn flyrods!

Here's the setup...

First, the parts...a barrel swivel, split ring, and two 1/0 sickle siwash hooks.



Second, put the swivel on the split ring, de-barb the hooks, and put them on the split ring back-to-back...



Lastly, slip the BB on the line, put on the rubber bumper, and tie onto the swivel...make sure you push the bumper down over the knot to keep it from getting frayed by the buzz bomb.




That's it...pretty simple, and damned effective.

A final note, at the risk of sounding like a broken record, "yes", it does matter if you use the sickle siwash hooks...period. Anyone who is still using a round bend siwash on barbless single hook configurations is really missing and/or losing fish that they should not be...and I don't care how expensive the Owner round bend siwash is, or how much you bend around the tip of the Gamakatsu round bend siwash...these sickle siwash hooks flat out kick their butts on hookup/land ratios right out of the bag, no bending required.

Fish on...
