How the self releasing quick out trout catfish bass bait hook works. To find out how the amazing self releasing hook works and to see the animation of release action go to http://www.sheltonproducts.com/sheltonrelease.html To find out more about my advanced fishing invention go to http://www.sheltonproducts.com To see my video movie theater with a incredible list of how to and action fishing video go to http://www.sheltonproducts.com/sheltontheater.html To see a video of the TadPole snagless weights go to http://www.sheltonproducts.com/tadpole.mov There were two hook mortality study done with them in the Eastern Sierras and sponsored by US Forest service and local business men in Mono and Inyo Counties that proof the mortality rate was equal to or less than fly fishing mortality. Since you aren't breaking off hooks in fish and with the TadPole snagless weights, not breaking off in rocks, you get in more fishing time because you are not down re-rigging so that gives you more time with your bait in the water and you improve your catch. This is especially important when you have kids, as you will not spend all of your time re-rigging them. It is especially a good feeling seeing them swim away. Berkley Power Bait and these hooks and TadPole make one of the most effective trout bait rig there is. Catch and keep, no problem, you get the hook out instantly, and catch and release couldn't be easier. Regarding self-releasing hooks. They are design to release fish without touching them. Basically how they work is the eye of the hook is at the bend of the hook and the leader line goes through a flexible plastic sleeve that goes over leader line and when the sleeve is slid down over the shank of the hook it is set and fish just like a regular fishhook. The sleeve has a second line tied to the top of this and parallels the main leader line and is attach by a sliding 3 turn uniknot tied with thread. When you slid the red knot up by pinching it or using a pocket comb it slides the sleeve up and the hook rotates and self releases.

  • Does that not hurt their organs when you pull before the hook comes out?

  • They did 2 hook mortality study in the Eastern Sierra and proved that these hooks were equal to or better than fly fishing in reducing hook mortality with deeply hooked trout.

  • where could you get this?

  • cool. People need to be more aware about that sort of stuff. I bet more fish die post release than everybody thinks when kooked deep.

  • There were two hook mortality study done with them in the Eastern Sierras and sponsored by US Forest service and local business men in Mono and Inyo Counties that proof the mortality rate was equal to or less than fly fishing mortality. The Hook survival rate was approximately 97% including the study where very large trout caught in a stream with maximum pull where tested. Catch and keep, no problem, you get the hook out instantly, and catch and release couldn't be easier.
