Howdy,
I'm not being facetious when I say my favorite hook's are the one's I pull out of snag's. (I guess a lot of guy's don't wear chest wader's or just don't care to retrieve lost rig's) So I say snag, I mean buy Gonnacatchu's. The hook I'll spend money on is size 2 Danielson worm hook's. 39cent's for six. I usually won't use yarn, so I snip the snell off, slide a corkie on the mainline, tie a simple clinch knot and place a splitshot 18in. up the line. These hook's hold a shrimp chunk better than an egg hook. I'm dedicated to the KISS method!
