Bigger not always better
Well my travels took me towards Cabellas in Hamburg P.A yesterday.
Specifically for red gammy hooks and zoom speed worms. Needless to say they
didn't have either, most disapointing to say the least. I asked an associate
and they told me they didn't carry either product. What's up with that? They
had the regular gammy hooks and plenty of zoom products but not a single
speed worm or a red off set hook. I wound up buying some livin eye jigs and
some white grubs and a strike king kit. I had come prepared to spend at
least 100.00 maybe more on soft plastics and hooks but wound up spending
about 30.00 instead. I didn't even bother to keep looking around. ( all
though I did stare at about a 6-8 lb bass in the tank for a while) I was
just amazed that a store of that magnitude would not have everything under
the sun. Wal mart had my red hooks for 2.37 a 5 pack, Local store carried
the speedworms Go figure |

| Doesn't that always kill ya, I get the same thing when I go to Bass Pro in
Gurnee looking for specific things. It always seems to be hook selection
where I get burned. Oh well, I drive there less and less and just use the
Internet more and more. |

| You couldn't pay me to usea Daiichi hook. The last 3 times I used them they
actually snapped at the bend. |

<snip> Were they all from the same package? Bad batch perhaps? I haven't had
any problems with them, although I do prefer gammies. Harry J aka Thundercat

| You really should contact TJ Stallings at Daiichi. He's a good guy and
needs to know about any problems with the hooks. |

| I can second that. TJ has been very responsive to inquries. I have had no
problems with the Daiichi or X-Point lines of hooks. I think the Tru-Turns
could have a harder point.

| Warren, here's TJ's e-mail address. tj@tticompanies.com I know he was at
ICAST and might be a little overwhelmed right now, but I still think a quick
e-mail to him would be good for all concerned. He needs to know about
product defects and you might get some free hooks out of the deal. |
