Ask Mike – Tips And Advice

Hello every one of my fishing friends. I have not had a chance to go fishing lately as I have been quite busy doing other things. I have Monday to Thursday off so I am going to Fish the Bow River those days. I just made a big order of Vibrax Minnow Spinners so I hope to get those in the mail very soon. I’m going to keep this post small and once I have done some fishing I will add to the Blog. I will give you a quick tip here and then elaborate later.

Here is the tip: Change the factory hooks that come with your lure if possible to a hook that is stronger than the factory hooks which come with your lure. I use Eagle Claw super sharp hooks which are 2X stronger than factory hooks. It drives me nuts losing fish due to bent hooks or cheap factory hooks that break. The Eagle Claw will help you not to lose fish this way. Try to match the factory hook with exactly the same size of replacement hook you are going to use. This will not change the action of your lure.
