Poll: Bending Hook Points OUT

[zx150]

I saw a pro do it once on TV can't remember who it was.

Greg hackney and john crews does it. Just a slight bend to the side, to make the point off center. I do it,
in case the hook winds up laying on it's side, in the fishes mouth, the bend will help it go either up, in the
roof of the mouth, or down in jaw. I think it helps on off-set hooks, probably not need on straight shank hooks. And remember, i base this on no scientific evidence what-so-ever!!!1 tr

I do not and in fact if the point angle opens up due to a hangup I'll bend it back as best I can to stock condition. My hookup ratio is very high as well with soft plastics. I would think one would hang up alot more by changing that angle and having it point out differently. Sounds like Bonefish needs to try a Gammy !!! BTW.... I have bent a jig hook open on some models in the past.
