NEW REVIEW: Trokar Hooks

Hey Kevin-have you tried them on the big hollow bodies like a shadalicious?

Thanks for the great feedback guys. I'd be interested in continually hearing your thoughts on Trokar.

I have only used a 6/0 Trokar MagWorm with a 3:16 Mission Fish, which isn't a typical "Hollow-Bodied Swimbait". I have not tried any of their swimbait hooks. While you could use the big MagWorm for a hollow body swimbait, you'd have to insert weight into the lure body... which I haven't done.

Weighted Swimbait hooks are notoriously dull out of the package. I'll be testing the Trokar hooks further, since they show great promise with the bigger hooks.

Very interesting read, Kevin. However, on a side note, have you ever tried using a whetstone to sharpen your larger hooks instead of a file? My intuition tells me that it would work better. (Not that it's very convenient...just a thought.)

Honestly, they scare me. I am a hook magnet and get speared all the time. I can only imagine a surgically sharpened hook would have a better chance of piercing me deep enough to catch the barb.
