I'm still not going to fish an Eagle Claw!

Why not? I thought everyone likes dull, rusty hooks

They're far from dull. In fact, I've taken a pack of Eagle Claw worm hooks and Gammie worm hooks (same size and everything) and examined them closely and was unable to discern any difference. They both caught on my fingernail with the same pressure, I noticed no differences in looks, etc, etc.

The notion that Eagle Claws are dull is, in my opinion, unfounded.

How long did they hold their edge compared to the gammey ?

Haven't even fished them.  Saw them at Wal-Mart on sale and bought some.  Same Wal-Mart had a TON of gammies on sale too so I stocked up on those.  Those are the hooks that I've been using.

Maybe if I get bored this winter I'll do some testing on the two.

I don't know how this topic changed to eagle claws, but I will say this. Eagle claws rust like crazy!

Also, I have used the Anaconda in a limited fashion and I will say that I am keeping my other 10'' worms. BUT I'm definitely going to keep the Anacondas as well. I think a traditional 10" worm and the Annie each have a different place in the tackle box. The anaconda creates a much larger profile in the water because of its ridiculous action, but sometimes the fish want less action and a smaller profile so I still want to throw other 10" worms to fill that role.

I think they are a nice variation of a classic bait.

Greg must have ate the 30 packs of Annie's himself that were sent to him via overnight mail on the second day of practice. Oh, and there were 10 packs of Rage Lobsters in that shipment as well for jig trailers........

Wonder if he ate the jigs too????? I'll Have to call him and ask him.

Reckon I should ask him if he even caught the fish himself or did someone give them to him at the boat ramp, hmmmmm.......

I'm just saying I will believe it when I see it. I like the Rage Tail stuff. But SK guys dont always tell the truth

-Cochran on G'ville winning with a "Wild Shiner" which was really a Pointer

-Cochran on the 3 Rivers getting a top 5 finish in the Classic with a Strike King Series 1 and 4s which were LC's

-KVD on Wissota with a 3x Zero when you can clearly see a Yamamoto bag laying the front deck

These are just 3 example that jump into my head.

It isn't limited to the strike king guys. Terry Scroggins has his own line of rods, the Castaway 'Big Show' series (expensive rods, too) and the camera clearly showed him using a Daiwa Steez Compile-X rod when he fished Falcon.

I wonder if he would have caught the same stringer throwing a Zoom mag !!, Cuplrit 10 inch, or any 10 inch on that honey hole?

hmmmm....

Thanks for the link! I had a current event to do and I did it on this!

True. Not just SK. I recall an episode where Preston Clark won a event years ago and he admitted it was not his sponsor (not SK) bait he used. Course he admit that because he was surrounded by camera crew on final day. Busted.
