Good day Mike! I can just imagine how frustrating it is for the hooks breaking. Maybe try out BAT Chinu hooks??? It's the only hooks I've ever used and I've never experienced problems with the hook breaking. Thanks for another top quality video and have a nice day!
Had a packet of landit hooks broke 3 of them just by tying my knots, (and no i wasnt using pliers just have the hook on my thumbnail and tighten the knot on the swivel and it was over
Travel on the road between Vereeniging and Villiers, but coming from Vereeniging, you will pass Boschkop, then RPA, then at the next sign AHV, turn right and travel towards AHV, about 100-200 meters from the AHV main gate, you will see the Klein Plaas board! Turn left and follow the road to the dam. Give Ernist a call before hand on 076 648 5533.
i've been fishing Daichi for 10 years+ now... used to buy them by the box of 100 hooks... never had problems... since i started buying them in 10's (because not a lot of shops sell them by the box anymore) i lose so many fish due to bent hooks,,, pisses me off!! how can a daichi bend before a 7lb line break???? i smell a RAT!!
So I did some digging into the whole thing and it turns out that, a whole lot of ripoff fake ones were released into the market but because they are copied so well, no one can tell them apart until you fish with them! So Daiichi as a brand and company, still have great hooks, it’s just the fakes ones we have to deal with now! But you right, the box of 100 are still going strong, it’s the small packet ones that are giving trouble!
Amazing video
Love the vids. Keep up the good work.
Mike we were next to you, also got stuck plenty. Landed about 30 in 2 days. Water was very warm.

I used to use BAT hooks but changed over to Daiichi! Think I will go back to the BATs
And thats why I went to VMC hooks. The 0.5 Hooks bend open and the 0.8 breaks off
It's happens sometimes depending what hook you buy
Hi, thank you for the great stream. Can you perhaps post the GPS in your description for the next trip?
Sure thing👍
I have also been losing fish because I was not hitting hard enough
It happened to me twice with BAT hooks(nr 1) at Boschkop, the guys at the Tackle Shop says it is impossible
I hope they watch this video.
