Default Re: 3 Out Of 3 Tackle Shop Owners Agree, Swing Hooks Work Best

I was out yesterday and personally did a test to see if I noticed any difference between the swing/fixed hook. My test was not scientific by any means but just more of stout observation. What I did was swing all fluke that looked like shorts aboard with fixed hooks and then did the same with the swing hooks. The amount of fish tested was real close to the same. I can honestly say that about forty percent fell off with the fixed hook, when swinging aboard, versus none that fell off with the swing hook. Plus I thought the action was much better with the trailer Gulp on the swing hook then on the fixed hook.
