Here's what some of the world's best fishermen have to say about our tackle :
QUICK-CHANGE LURES -
“Having the ability to move skirts around and change the balance of the lure with the brass or plastic is awesome. The head immediately goes from a calm to rough water lure in seconds. I love that. “
Capt Karl Anderson, BRIAR PATCH, Florida, USA.
karlanderson@bellsouth.net
“The lures and concept are really brilliant”.
Capt. Dave Brackmann, CALIENTE, California/Cabo San Lucas, USA
david@ashwill.com
“IMPRESSIVE stuff. I can't say enough about the idea and how they work, ease of changing out the skirts and coming up with just the right combo”.
Capt. Brad Phillips, Guatemalan Billfishing Adventures GUATEMALA

“They are downright beautiful ….. I want to go marlin fishing and put them in the water - all of them”

“What a brilliant idea”

HAYS HOOKS -
"The 9/0 and 10/0's really kicked ass last summer including our HIBT winning 689 on 80lb with 10/0s and another 750+ on 80lb a few days later on a single 9/0 that pulled like hell at the boat............this past winter the 8/0's went out on my shot gun lures for spearfish, stripies, small blues etc... and I had my highest hookup ratio ever whether on the 30lb line to 100lb line........I have to be as effective as possible at catching really big ones, small ones and everything in between for my clients. Gear is not aloud to fail, period. In my opinion Hays Hooks are the shizz!"
Capt. Chip Van Mols, MONKEY BIZ II, Kona, Hawaii
"I found them to be an excellent hook for the lures I use"
Capt Ross Finlayson, SEA BABY III, Cairns, Australia

“they are certainly some of the best hooks I have used in lures and hold their point extremely well”.
Capt. Geff Lamond, OUTER LIMITS, Auckland, NZ
filthyfisherman@hotmail.com
“We’ve actually replaced nearly every hook in our arsenal at this point and I wish I had become the distributor knowing what it’s cost. And as far as a testimonial goes, we know we have a much higher hook-up ratio using your hooks for our meatbaits than we ever got with the 7732s.”
Hal Lovato, BODACIOUS, Pensacola, USA

“they are the best and very strong”

HAYS HANDLES –
”The Hays Handles to me are the biggest step forward in tackle development since the lever-drag, I can’t understand why every chair-rod doesn’t have one.”
