Ant time Reeltime...by the time you got there we were almost done. Lake Erie is so big I'd call anybody I knew in on me if I was catching.The only reason I like the three hooks is because I want a triple lol, but you're right, only a few come on the top hook. You're right Poncho...you can save quite a bit of money by tying a few every evening. Plus, I get a lot of enjoyment from tying my own perch rigs and walleye snells.
