Yakin, i'd be willing to give it a shot, the idea looks solid. Do you package deals/kits?

Everyone loves new technology but it is reasonable to be a little skeptical about something that sounds a bit too good to be true. If you want to convince this group, send some hooks to a few of the guys who are out there every day, along with some testers who can barely make bait.

If Josh, Sharon, The Kid, Larry and others in that class give you the thumbs up, you probably have something. To prove it, you will have to get a few average Joe's to jump on board as well.

Just saying that something works may fly in politics but with fishermen, you will have to prove it. Since I am a bit knot challenged, I really hope that what you are introducing actually works.

Please keep us posted.

I agree you shouldn't be getting hated on. At least not on the product itself. I'm a firm believer in "don't knock it until you've tried it"

The dominating demographic of fisherman are ole' salty dogs, who like what they know. It's like the generation that refused to get cellphones because pay phones were still around. Just be patient, the younger generation will give these a shot I'm sure, we're always into new things.

But I agree you should have taken your time and been contributing to the forums more before throwing us a sales pitch.

I would also take a lot more time previewing your posts, your spelling mistakes and poor grammar really diminish your professional credibility

Good luck with the business. If the right person on here gives it a shot and likes it, it will spread like wild fire. Be on the water ALL the time, give away some free hooks, promote your product and let the hooks do all the work for you.

Another suggestion, put together a "trial pack" in saltwater & freshwater sizes. Maybe 2 of a couple sizes.

npdes · 03-17-2012, 07:28 AM

Yakin, I also fly fish and was thinking that if you could design a knotless tippet to leader material, I think you could have a real seller. Sometimes trying to tie a double surgeons knot with 6x tippet while in a cold river is tough. Just a thought. Or even small flies with your knotless system. Again, sometimes tough to tie knots with small flies and cold fingers.

Ron, putting my money where my mouth is by just placing an order for some of your hooks as well as a cpl packs of the E2H extensions. I'll take 'em to the water the same day I receive them and you, and all these whiners on this site, will be the first to hear my report. Till then .... keep up the good work. If was all that easy .... everybody would be doin it.

Much easier than the knotless hook and the instructions are also in English:1, 2, 3.

For those who prefer to tie knots the manual way, here's a manual on how to tie knots

Sorry, wrong book....here's the one I meant to post

YakMedic · 07-19-2012, 07:49 AM

I've used some of these hooks I got from Nathan. I can say without a doubt that the knots do not fail. I've hung up on rocks and pulled as hard as possible trying to break off my 25lb leader and when it finally came loose my knot was intact but my hook was bent to hell. I am very comfortable with the knot system after all its just a snell knot anyways, but I am concerned with the hook strength. Then again I may have straightened a similar size Owner hook also.

Yakin- Im a rookie, but I'd love to give these a shot, just to see. I'll be contacting you when I get back from vacation (unless you are able to ship them to Westminster by Friday).

I bought a few packs a couple of years back at FHS, they are great for my wife and kids who are always getting snagged and tangled. We have only used them in fresh water for trout and catfish. Never had one fall off even with my 9 year old "tying" them on.
Don't take the hate personal as fishing is slow, but do bump up your post count and come out and fish with some of the guys, get your name know then post some ads, good opportunity to do that is this weekend, landwhale is hosting a BBW tournament.
