when I saw how little the hook was I kinda got nervous. but I had no trouble catching good sized fish. they sucked it down and I yanked them out. not sure whythey don't use a sickle hook. but it definitely works.

Lil'er hook really can't help Y'all trolling?
Ones got a loose marabou type tail really sparse and the other looks more hackle-ish in the tail. The eye location for your knot is the only real diff I can see. In which case, move your knot if there's a diff.
the original has some type of coarse hair tail. the knock off has a black feather tail. but I can assure ya this. the real gray ghost caught 15 to 1 more fish.Quote:

Maybe buck, but still not a diff. maker.
Haven't seen one up close but it sort fans out like squirrel tail hair.
I suppose the reason is that we never found the sickle hook to provide any advantage. Same went for red hooks, which got popular for awhile. It's had to beat that little sharp Eagle Claw.Quote:
