You can insert a pencil or small twig into the fish's mouth all the way down until it stops at the throat.Next hold the line tight to the pencil with your thumb, and spin the fish around 5 or 6 times.The line will wrap around the pencil and pull free from the fish.

I don’t care what name brand it is,I just prefer them to be long light wire when I’m fishing treetops and timber.If I’m fishing open water,I use a variety of lures,with a variety of hook styles.

no what i meant was the hook being to big for the fish to be caught and them being able to steal my bait

Eagle Claw has a rotating hook that is just like Tru-Turn. I haven't found them on the shelf so I ordered mine on-line.

#4 Eagle Claw or TrueTurn lightwire.
