In spring streams, trout are skittish, and regular knotted hooks’ knots can spook them. With Hai Zhi Yu knotless leader hooks, first tip: choose 0.8-1.2 fluorocarbon line—it’s invisible and has enough strength. Second: pair with a fly hook shape, sharp point means less fish escaping. Third: leave leader 30-40cm long, so the hook drifts naturally in water, like live bait. An angler used this Hai Zhi Yu setup last week, catching 8 wild trout in 2 hours—nearly double their usual.
