I know what you're thinking.Deja Vu all over again?
I had posted on another Message Board so bear with me. But I want to see if there is anyone else that can shed some light for me.
Hey maybe I can get Kingfisher to come out of the wood work and tell me whether he changes his hooks on the Lokes. I know he's a big fan of Lokes. I was wondering if anyone is using the 9 1/2" Lokes with the hooks that are supplied? They are unique in which only two barbs are on the bottom two hangers. There's a treble on back. The two barbed hooks on the bottom no doubt keep from tearing up the bait when trolled so that's definitely a pluse. But how are they for hooking up when a fish pops it? They seem a little small for the size of the bait and was wondering if they should be upsized. Or am I worrying about nothing.

catch ya later,

P.S. I was skeptical about the Eagle Tails with the single hooks, but that has been put aside by some fished caught on them. Sometimes less is better.

Hmmmmmm Krappie the question is where did you find 9.5 inch lokes? I never bothered getting any as they were only making small ones.

Keep releasing them all

Hi Rich,
I had bought them off of ebay and I'm going to give them a whirl trolling some water nearby. I've heard that the smaller ones are good hooking baits with the supplied hooks, but I haven't heard anyone's comments on how the larger ones are. Maybe they are relatively new and no one knows??? I guess I'll just have to try them with the supplied hooks and see what happens. If I start missing some rips than I'll be replacing them with larger hooks.

These baits are right up your alley, they have a nice wide silhouette to them also.

catch ya later,
Krappie
