Location: Cudahy, WI | Got a message from Eagle Claw today saying that they don't have the time or resources to run with this idea.
Even though Eagle Claw said it was a great idea, they aren't willing to take on the venture.
Anybody out there have connections in the hook industry? Staff members? VMC? Mustad? Anybody?
I want T'd trebles damnit!

Location: oswego, il | I T most of my hooks, it really saves on the paint and gives you better hook ups. I have found them to be a deterrant on glide baits and tr twitchers. They cause too many hang ups on the leader. |

Location: Cudahy, WI | I do T my own, I just thought that it would be a great marketing idea for a hook manufacturer. They agreed that it was a great idea, but that it would be too costly.
Besides the T'ing part, I'd like to see the eye turned so that it lays flat against the belly of the bait instead of always being off at a bit of an angle on any lure that uses splitrings to attach the hook.
