I contacted my clouser supplier and he told me the dfference between the bent down hook tip and the straight tip was one was for salt water, the other for for fresh......Bob clouser uses the same hook for both so I don't know what thats all about. I'm heading out now to try to use the straightened eyes on a loose loop.......
this is an important post to guys like me that have questions on what they're buying, thanks for starting it.
