Seeings as he's a Pro he knows ALOT more than I do but those look like real brush gitters to me. That's definitely something different and in open water longlining I see plenty of advantages to the triple hooks. I'm sticking with single hooks for now though cause I got a tackle box full of 'em.
Is interesting but I would think the lay out of the hooks would interfere with some hookups ??
I agree with Ronnie and Butch. Looks like a pile of lost jigs and those Rockports aren't cheap. Also looks like you could miss some fish too!
First thing I thought was this guy doesn't work brush or he buys them by the ton.
If I was going to use it I would bait all three hooks
Looks like another gimmick to catch fishermen, doubtful it will be of much help catching fish. If I was betting man, I'd bet those won't be on his rods this coming week at Santee, but Rockports logo will be on his shirt. lol

I can not find them now so I gues they no longer make them. Digging through my tackle boxes I found I still have two,

They slam the rods and its hard to keep on big fish with 14-16' rods.
I've fished both lakes Sardis and Grenada, I don't recall having to much trouble landing fish. Wouldn't that head be illegal in tournaments due to the two hook per rod maximum?Quote:

I'm just putting out the info, most have problems landing those big fish when your only putting out 18" of line. Those hooks are legal to use, it's not 2 hooks per rod, it's 2 baits per rod. Crank baits are legal and they have 6 hooks if you count both trebles......
I think they will catch a few of those Mississippi boys :Rofl but not sure with helping the fisherman :):):)
It's always good to see what's new in crappie fishing and you never know, in a year we may be taking about how great those jigs are :dono:biggrin
I now understand what the purpose is of this invention, guess only time will tell if they work.
