Over the coming weeks I will be judging a number of different hooks from a number of different companies. I intend on reporting my findings and giving a detailed list of each hook and how I felt it preformed.
I have three different areas that I intend on concentrating. 1. Drop Shot hooks, 2. Flipping Hooks, and 3. Casting Hooks (Texas Rigged).
Having spent the past 6 years working in the fishing industry and selling a line of hooks I am the first to admit that I have not fished with very many different brands. Well that is about to change!!!! I have the drop shot hooks coming from Tackle Warehouse and they should arrive today. I have the purchased a number of different hooks for the casting option as well. The Flipping Hooks will be coming from all over the map.
Please check back and I'll give you my findings.
Thank you!

My Opening Thoughts
I'm back! I decided to come back to my blog and renew submitting my thoughts. I had taken time away due to my job and wasn't sure if my thoughts should be put online. After some consideration I have decided, screw it, I am going to speak my mind.
Some of you are aware, I work in the fishing industry as a sales representative. I had been concerned that my thoughts would be tied to a company that I work for. Well, here is my get out of jail free card, these are my thoughts, mine, not yours, mine! If or perhaps WHEN I say something stupid, I am stupid, not a company that I represent. These are my thoughts.
My fishing style is simple, I am a finesse fisherman with a minor in heavy cover! Odd combo I know but something that has served me well over the years. I love to have a couple drop shot rods on the deck and a couple flipping sticks.
I consider myself a good fisherman. Not the best or I would be doing it for a living. I enjoy tournaments but seldom fish them anymore due to high costs.
I prefer natural lakes that are near my home. I live in the great state of Minnesota! Minnesota offers what I believe is the best bass fishing in the world. Sure we have ice for 5 months a year but that is what also makes it so good. I can travel 30 miles from my home and fish over a dozen lakes where I can catch 3 to 5 lb fish on a regular basis! More important then that, I can do it in August and also have 25 to 50 fish days along with those 5lb fish. Sure we don't have 20lb Monsters like they do in California but we have the most consistent 3 to 5lb fish in the nation.
With my background in the fishing industry I will also make comments on the industry and thoughts on products. I have one major bias and that is my boat, Bass Cat makes the best boat in the world! Well, there is also a second bias, Humminbird.
With that being said lets all enjoy the ride!
