Bending your own "Slow Death" hooks...

[caffeineforall]

None are locally available and I'm too impatient to wait for delivery of any I may order as there is only a few more fishable days for me. I grabbed some #2 aberdeen hooks and following the diagram mustad has on their site I bent my own. Was pretty easy, all I used was some needle nose pliers and my hands.

Gonna head out to the lake today and give em a try, more interested to see if they spin, not so much if I catch any fish on em.

Any one else bend their own hooks?

I have some, haven't used them yet. They don't look that trickey to bend yourself but you may end up with a "medium death action." :cheers:

Medium death may be better....

good luck

On the last Chat Tommy mentioned he bent his to vary spin speed.

Don't see the harm in trying as hooks are still fairly cheap.

Fishing was terrible. Skunked. I'm grumpy. Will try tomorrow maybe.

Hooks worked.
