Bending the hook

[rtark]

Looks like I need a couple more bobbin threaders now.Great idea,this site ceases to amaze me.

The older I get the more tricks I have to have to make up for my inadequacies.
Another great tip is to keep an empty coffee can in the boat since I depend more on gravity now.

Don't they make an offset jig hook?

I used to buy worm hooks, Eagle Claw, that were double offset for holding the worm but flat from side to side. Got tired of missing fish one day and took a pair of stats and bent the point to one side a few degrees. End of problem. Point up or to the side always helps.
