DanO, reread Saukit2em's post. It says he "forgot" not "forget" the gap restriction. Also if you try again you will see that you can use up to a 4/0 eagle claw salmon/steelhead hook and come in right at the 3/4" gap rule. Not that you need to use that big a hook, even for puppies. But it is there for those that feel the need.

Tight lines.
