Hey wasn't this originally a question about where a guy could find these hooks? A couple of posts helping the guy out then all of sudden you startin bustin on the product. Then you start bustin on each other. Any chance you could of just e-mailed the guy with your opinions? Sheeesh!

Since the issue has been raised I might as well jump into it too. I've been using Vision #1 and 1/0 blacks since Joe first lent me a few on the river. I'd been snapping off Lazer Sharps right and left on nice silvers. Been using them since with zero problems on a heck of lot of large pig silvers and bad doogies. No busted hooks....and I'm one of those heavy handed guys that doesn't use the drag much but likes to bury the ol'thumb in the spool. Plus the design as pointed out is different...I think they hook better and definitely stay in better especially when barbless than whatever brands. Plus I've never seen the use in a metallic red hook unless your after Lk Washington sockeye.

Dr Pepper definitely give those swivels a try.
