RE: Dale Saturday vs. Friday
I have been FnF fishing Dale Hollow for the last 4 years and have fished numerous times with Bob Coan. I have been producing my own jigs for the last two years and use a red Matzuo 9064 Sickle bend hook size 2. I mold my jigs using a Do-it minnow head mold size 1/32 and 1/16. Since I started using this hook I have rarely lost any smallies. You can purchase the mold and hooks from Barlows at [url]www.barlowstackle.com[/url] or call 1-800-707-0208. The punisher jig used to use Daiichi hooks but I believe they have since switched to Mustad premium jig hooks but not sure. All of these hooks are very good hooks, but I really like the way the Matzuo hook has performed.
