Let's see, who said that tandem setups were for novices? I think the statement was that tandem hook setups give a novice a better chance at hooking fish. By default, that also means it gives experienced anglers a better chance at hooking fish, too.

Let's try not to get wound up about this, since I don't think anyone ever claimed one setup was "better" than the other. Just differing points of view about how "necessary" tandem hooks are.


Fish on.........
