This hook simply doesn't let me down. I won't say I've never lost a fish on these hooks, but the landing ratio is very impressive. I've used these for GT's, sailfish, roosterfish, yellowfin tuna, dorado, albacore, tarpon, and even my largest ever Chinook salmon on the fly when using the SL12S with a big tube fly. I've never had one bend out and they seem to hold pretty dang well. Over the years, it seems like lots of other guys agree that this hook is simply effective.
