[QUOTE="Ponyroper, post: 86562, member: 423"] This is what we used 50 years ago when pike were the only fish in the mud holes back where I grew up. You took the hook off the clevis and pushed the hook into the smelts mouth and out its back. Supposedly pike always swallow their prey head first so the hooks in the smelts mouth were in the right position. Seemed to work good. Haven't fished with smelt for nearly 50 years but I still carry a couple of these hooks around in my tackle box. [ATTACH=CONFIG]4526._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]4527._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
