Daai is nogal `n groot Spearnose !!! Well done !
I have used the katana no.6 hooks on two occasions now, both times targeting white stumpnose. These hooks are super sharp, extremely strong and has a nack of getting a solid hold without having to strike at the fish. At the iron ore comp I was able to get quota while others around me were not doing well at all. The gentleman next to me was really struggling. I gave him one of the katana`s and he immediately started landing fish. When I switched to my braid set up I noticed that even less rod motion was needed to set the hook. I definitely recommend the hook for edibles as alot more of your missed hookups will now result in fish.
Got 2 bronzies on 120lbs steel and a trace with a single 4/0 Katana hook. First fish was 84kg and the second one 11kg. The 84kg gave me one hell of a fight, lasting almost 2 hours! Very impressed with the hooks.
