All good reasone Chuck. Hook set is very important. With so many on the market I wasn't sure which way to go. I guess all of them could be effective, but if being able to hook the bass is easier than other brands then that would be a significant factor in making a decision.

I've heard Strike King is good, and I guess they get a good rap due to being overly impregnated with salt. In the end I guess it really matters if you can actually LAND the fish though.

I'm going to order some online. Maybe basspro.com will have some.

Thanks!!
