RR,
I just started trying a new Kwikfish method that I've been using with excellant success on Warts for a few years now. Remove the 2 stock hooks. Put a long 1 1/4" beadchain swivel on the belly eye and the large siwash on the end of the chain. Unlike the flapping of a rear hook setup, this enables the hook to stabilize right in the strike zone so the Kings usually get it in the mouth better. With the wildly swaying back hook the fish often miss it or are marginally hooked on the jawline skin or even on the outside of their face; thus a lot of lost Kwikfish hookups. Where it's legal to use a large treble, pushtwist a large piece of backer rod down over the treble hookshank, razor shape it like a torpedo, and put the hook on the beadchain. This will keep the heavier big treble closer to a neutral bouancy so as to keep the hook right in the strike zone when using it in a little slower water. I really think this is going to be the answer to a better % landing rate with Kwikies. Let us know how this works out for you fishermen with a post here; and a success ratio report e-mailed to me would be really appreciated. Thanks. - RT
