redfish can break your heart!!!!!!

Post by RHTFISH »

Sunday afternoon at Anky......caught several really nice ones but two of them just straightened out 30# snaps and kept on truckin' with new Capt. Mike's spoons!
After a few minutes I did see one of them briefly as he turned to say goodbye....never even saw the other one!

I think he was talking swivels but you're right, Chug Bug hooks & rings always get replaced.
I used Capt Mikes spoons yesterday and had no trouble with twists so I question whether you need one. I don't like to fish spoons anyway but the cloudy what say's you nearly have to. Maybe I'll e-mail MIke & ask him. :thumbup:
Actually listening to what other people say is worth the effort.

sounds like you found some nice fish...

my .02--switch the snap swivels for barrel swivels and use them for a braid to leader connection v. line to lure connection. problem will be solved

I never have these problems. I just don't hook any fish, then you don't have to worry about it. :wink:
