9/26/2012 1:14:00 PMMike, I suggest trying the Matzuo Sickle hooks in the 4/0 size or the barbless Gamakatzu in the same size. The Matzuo hooks can be found in Siwash and Octopus style and are by far my favorite hook to use, if your lucky you can find them in a barbless style as well. My other thought is regarding the release clips. I picked up a little trick watching the skipper of a boat while fishing for kings on Lake Michigan. He would double up the line, twist it about 10 to 20 turns and then place it in the clip. Not only did this keep the lines solidly in the clip, it ensured any fish that released from the clip was well hooked. I've bee doing the same ever since and have found that even very thin 35lb braid will hold well in the clip with this method.
