One man's "lazy" is this woman's "frugal" I've caught fish repeatedly on hooks I've bent back. We primarily fish stake beds, stumps, and lots of structure that we have dropped. If I changed the hook out every time it got bent from sticking in the wood, I'd spend more time tying on new jigs and less time fishing. Jigs aren't getting any cheaper and my quality time fishing is valuable, too.
