diggyj Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I normally just use the GAMAKATSU DROPSHOT HOOKS when dropshotting but saw these new DAIICHI STANDOUT HOOKS. Does anyone use them? Any advantages? The small arm on the Standout hook forces the hook to always remain in the proper postion, but if you tie the Palomar knot correctly with the Regular Gamakatsu Dropshot Hook, it does that anyways. Thanks..... Dirk... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dheitzner Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I use the "Gamees" myself, didn't like the stand outs so much: found them to be extremely dull out of the package and didn't hold the bait in the proper position that well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diggyj Posted March 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Dave, you are so right, I've been using that rod a bit on my last few outings to get a feel for it and is so so awsome. Super sensitive, lightweight, casts a mile, great all round rod. Have yet to land one with it but that will come. Cheers and thanks, Dirk......

hirk Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I use owner 1/0 2/0 dropshot hooks.Very thin and strong and also very sharp. Yup the owner downshot hook is a good one too,especially if you rig the bait texas due to the long shank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markystang Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I've used and like the stand out hooks, but they're all I've used for dropshotting, so i can't compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecmilley Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I really like the owner 1/0 2/0 sizes for texas rigging when fishing weedy areas and use short shank gamu's when nose hooking my drop shot offering in rocks current areas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hook point of a owner hook is cut like the end of a syringe, instead of poking threw it's more like a double edged knife, nver lost a fish on a owner hook .
