I fish a 10’ 6” noodle rod with 6# for summer steelhead using spoons and spinners. These are the best hooks I’ve used for my style of fishing hands down. When fish strike, they are hooked for good; I haven’t lost a fish to the bank since I’ve given these hooks a try on my custom lures.These hooks are so light they are a one-hook-per-fish hook, so be prepared to toss them after one fish.Recommended for the highly skilled steelhead angler.
