ridderbos3,
IF you should find you have problems with the Mustads, Tiemco 8089's seem a good replacement for our stuff. Early on we had problems with the stinger hooks losing fish (bass) in the weeds. May have been a bad batch?
We now use the Tiemco's for that stuff (bass, stripers, and pike), especially if the targets are sub 20#. Oops.....except albacore. We have had them straighten tiemcos, 20# or not!
