I have been experimenting with this hook lately. So far I am pleased with the results. I tied it as variation of a rabbit lead eye (brass eye) leech . I tied the barbell eyes in clouser syle and tied in a clump of matching color of deer hair right at the front of the fly to help make sure the fly swam hook point up. This is a long shank circle hook one of Mustad's new signature series. I used a size 2 hook. So far I have hooked and landed 14 out 15 fish that I felt bite using a strip strike. This is 10 to 13% better than I typically average for LM bass. Two of the fish that were hooked and landed as we were taking off moving to a different spot in the pond. I have had fish hit before we in that situation but I really can't remember the last one I actually landed.
While most of the fish were large mouth bass I also caught a couple big crappie and a Catfish

Has anybody else given this hook a try?
