C-Rigging

[Whit Warriors]

Fished CC on Sunday May 29 & Monday May 30 with Corey, Evan, and Scott. Caught a ton of largemouth bass and a few walleye carolina rigging baby brush hogs, lizards, and fish doctors. Had a few on jigs, flipping in the bushes. Even caught a few walleye early with the jig in the bushes. Scott had a really nice walleye on a c-rig lizard. The wind and heat was blistering both days, but so was the fishing. The c-rig helped keep the bait on the bottom and the fluorocarbon line helped feel the bites. The windy points and banks produce better fish, had a 13 - 14 pound sack on Monday. Green pumpkin, watermelon green, and watermelon green red were our best colors. Tried the new Trokar hooks out, man those hooks are sharp. It seems they take a little less effort to set the hook. Looking forward to going back this weekend.

Want to say good luck to a couple of fishing buddies fishing Joe Bass on Pomme. Kev and BP, hook sets are free, good luck!!

Nice report, I will be interested to hear your long term satisfaction with those Trokar hooks (or anyone else for that matter).

I used those a lot last year, and just like you noticed a BIG difference in hook sets, they are freaking sharp! I even put a post about how much I liked them in the TR forum.

The problem I ran into, besides the $2 a piece price tag, was that they are not very durable. Hang that hook on a rock or tree branch and the tip is gone. Then they are worthless. I was going through full pack every time I was on the water. I have switched back to a needle point in the Mustad Ultra Point, and they still work great and are a fraction of the cost.

I would like to know if anyone else has any long term results or suggestions.

kre11, I agree!!! The Mustad Hook is the most durable I have used. I have Jigs that I used all last summer. They are still plenty sharp. I have written to Mustad asking them to start manufacturing in the U.S.A.

The Trokar hooks are NOT worth the money! Yes they are razor sharp and hook sets are easy, but the hook strength itself is horrible. I found that they bend real easy and once the orginal shape is gone they are worthless. I even broke two in the middle of the shank where I had to bend the hook back in shape. Not sure what kind of steel they are made of? I am going back to the Bass Pro Super G's and the Gama's.
