Rob, I have an attachment of the Srout Hook by Mustad that Bay de Noc uses. Now if I could just figure out how to attach it to this post. Can anyone help with that? Bob

Bob, last week, my buddy performed an experiment. Given the problem you noted above (small opening at the end of the hook and variable sizes of split rings), my buddy used a snap at the hook end of the spoon. He used the same snap type that is used on the line side of the spoon. We use the lock style snap that Bill recommended. The hook was fine and he was catching fish at the same rate I was and I was utilizing the split ring / hook presentation. Food for thought.

Rob, I have a great copy of this hook but have to figure out how to copy it and make an attachment out of it. Maybe I'll figure out how to post a picture rather then adding an attachment soon! Bob

Rob, What you are really looking for is a Mustad #3365C Sproat Hook which comes in a #4,6,8 size, large ring, nickel plated. I have all 3 sizes coming if you're interested. Sincerely, Bob

I haven't been to too many shops for the O's hooks as i could not find them at either of my to local shop one being Gander Mountain ( may have to look again). So I went with what Looked to be the next closest thing a plain shank from Eagle Claw.Size is roughly the same with the small eyelet also.<br />
<br />
Bill do you think this will have any negative effect on the Swedes I put them on?I beleive it will keep the smaller ones off and let the bigger ones take the bait.

Bill, I used all the single hooks provided by Bay de Noc for their product but was switching over some of the older ones I have that didn't have a spare around any longer. That's when I realized there really was a difference. I was contacted by Bay de Noc today and they told me I could get some of their hooks because Mustad will only sell them by the thousands! Holy Crap! Sorry if I confused anyone. The hook provided by BdN is just fine. They use a #8 hook on their #2 Swedish Pimple and and #6…

Bob, why are you not using the single hook that is provided?....The Bay de Noc lure company recommends that you use Mustad Oshaugnessy 3407DT #6-#4 when replacing damaged single hooks...I've never had to order these, I purchase them in store, at my local Bass Pro Shops....The Blue Fox RFS comes with a thinner breed of split rings, the top one should always be removed and can be used in other applications. (I only use this style of hook when rigging Acme Kastmasters)
