Jaximus,

I can't say for certain if I lost hook-ups using those NeverSnag hooks. I guess you'd have to have a underwater camera hook-up and do a side -by-side comparison to know.

All I know is that from nice sized Steel head to 10-12" rainbows, once on they never got off.
I take all the barbs of of my hooks and even then, unless I gave them slack so they could twist free, I had know problem.

They make a sampler pack with everything from pan fish sized single hooks to big double ones.
Would make a great X-mas stocking stuffer to try them out ;)

I was fishing #11 Tectan mono on a 10' cheap Whuppin Stik rod from Cabelas and big or small it worked great. Can't beat that for sale price of $22 and free shipping.
