Quinte Fishing

Hey fellow fisher people....just wondering if you've seen any increased success with red trebles instead of the regular brass/silver.

Sharp hooks are absolutely critical to your success, especially when trolling with side planer boards or downriggers because you don't have the rod in your hand to set the hook.

The hooks that come with some lures are simply useless - especially the ones that come with Mann's Stretch 20+ lures - those hooks suck.

For my money, I replace the hooks with Excalibur hooks. Those buggers have a menacing torque built into them, and when a fish bites, it's a lot more likely to stick.

Keep your hook file handy, and make sure your hooks are "sticky sharp". For what it's worth, those new red trebles that come with the Taildancers [?] are pretty good, almost as good as Excalibur. Go buy yourself a bunch of Excalibur hooks and a set of pliers with a little split-ring-opener thingie on the end, and start changing hooks. You will catch more fish, for sure.
