Used the SL12S hook for Tarpon fishing in the Gulf. It held firm during strong runs and didn’t bend. The tin finish is smooth and the hook bites well. Great for big game fishing.
Stephanie MacLeod –
Felt solid and reliable during a recent Billfish outing. The hook set well and didn’t break under pressure. A bit heavier than expected, but effective for large fish.
