What combines stealth, movement and increased eye catching rates? Mustad’s new “Slow Death” hooks would be the answer to the question. I had meant to bring this up last week, and like many topics that I come up with, it slipped through the cracks until now.
So there I was gathering some gear to do my seminar on casting/drifting and dragging for walleyes at Bass Pro yesterday, and while getting some hooks off the shelf, there they were. Thus the perfect reminder of what to write about come Monday.
The unique design allows the hook to spin at the slowest speeds while either trolling or drifting. Rig it with 10 lb fluorocarbon, and drag behind either a bottom bouncer, or what I prefer, a Northland Roach walking sinker.
For some reason the pics didn’t want to come out, here is the link back to the Mustad page.
