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

It's amazing 3 fishermen all agree on one thing. Bucktails with swing hooks work best. After reading the thread that Kevin Bogan started and reading Jersey Coast's comments, I too agree that swing hooks will greatly increase your chances of landing a doormat Fluke. Swing Hooks do not put as much pressure on a Fluke's mouth. Fixed hooks have a tendency to create a hole in the fishes mouth. A few big head shakes and there's goes your doormat. The attached photo is a great example of the damage a fixed hook does to a Fluke's mouth. I fish both fixed and swing hook bucktails but I can tell you I have lost more big Fluke on the fixed hooked model. All of fixed hook bucktails that I fish have stinger hooks to increase catch ratio. Link below for a better photo.
