Mustad 3561D-DT Duratin 3X Treble Hooks - Size 2

I had to laugh to myself Someone wants to hear "my" fishing stories.

I do a lot of ocean beach fishing on the gulf side of Florida. The hooks that come on the Mepps saltwater spoons and the Hopkins salt water spoons just don't hold up. I've contacted them and asked them to upgrade their hooks but I don't see that happening. By hooks not holding up I mean they lose their finish and it's my experience the fish seem to bite less on "ugly" hooks. So I started robbing my Yo-zuri saltwater lures of their shinny hooks. Those hooks hold up for a good length of time. I contacted Yo-zuri to purchase just hooks but they don't sell the hooks but they informed me where they get them. So I contacted Mustad and they informed me which hooks are on Yo-Zuri lures but they always seem to be sold out so I came to you.

On my last trip to the beach a few weeks ago I was catching bluefish off the beach and all of sudden while I was trying to get a bluefish in off goes my line. No stopping whatever took the bluefish off the end of line and then I just grabbed my spool to stop from losing all the line and out of the water jumps a 5-6 foot tarpon and I could see my blue braided line running right to him and naturally he just snapped the 30 pound test line. Five seconds of excitement. Amazing how fast they can peel off the line.
