Thesre has been discussion latly on local kayak boards about the actual effectivness of these hooks and if they are actually any good as compared to a normal dropshot hook tied on the line back through to make it stand right.

10 times better, for at least ten reasons

Does this hook effect the action at all?
|
Yes, better in all reports from every pro, and nearly everyone else that has tried them, at least as good from all who have given any reports

I would thing the hook would creat a different action. Basically i just am wondering if i can get some info on them because they are kinda cool and id like to know the inspiration behind the disign.

I was talking to someone on the phone, that was cusing under his breath,, I knew he was doing something that was upsetting him so I asked what that something was,, he said he was going fishing the next day and was pre tying some drop shot rigs, This guy has been drop shotting since the begaining of it, yet he was having trouble getting them "Just Right", he then said I wish someone would invent a hook that stood straight out from the line reguardless, so I emailed him the drawings 30 min later, and he freaked, the rest is history :-)
By the way I have 100% hook ups using this hook,, it is also the best live and natural bait hook I have ever used,, I have caught 1,382 fish (documented, as in I keep records) with it, all were lip hooked.
You guys should see the bigger ones coming soon, allowing drop shotting of huge soft plastics, yet you can still use lightt line, personally now I use the biggest they make, unlike the current hooks used for drop shotting, line and knot size now has nothing to do with the size hook you can stand out
